First Year Retreat

Today, all of the first years had a mindfulness retreat. There were so many fun activities! We started off by making ourselves a set of rules and guidelines we have for our class, such as, respect others and always listen to each other. After that, we headed outside to the hockey pitch to do some ice-breakers. One of the tasks was to get to know each others talents. We were given a grid (on a sheet) and in each box there was a description/talent e.g someone who can play an instrument. We had to go around and get the signature of the person with that talent, whoever filled their grid first won. We also played wink murder. We had a short break to eat lunch. The final part was the most fun! This was where we played a game called fruit bowl. It got us all active. We then finished off the day with a relaxing meditation. Overall it was a great experience and gave us the opportunity to get to know our class better and work together as a unit. Gwen Murray M1

What a week TY's had last week! Carlingford was a great success despite the patches of bad weather, which unfortunately squashed our hopes of getting out on the water. Well done to all students involved, they bonded well, created new memories, and walked the legs off themselves. It was a fantastic achievement that all students completed their Bronze Gaisce Adventure Journey on Wednesday and Thursday! After a well rested weekend, TY's were back in bright and breezy Monday morning with another busy week including Toastmasters and a new set of subject rotations. 17 OLS headed over to Terenure College on Thursday to participate in their first-ever Toastmasters. Day one included an Ice breaker challenge where each student introduced their neighbour to the group. Elections took place for important roles within the group, the roles filled by our students included vice president and secretary. Students are now all set for next week where they will begin their speeches. The best of luck and well done to all our students involved. TY had their first rotation this week through the following subjects: Careers, SPHE, Psychology, and Drivers Education. This week students had the opportunity to sign up for the following: Model United Nations (MUN), Homework Club, Sign Language, RCSI Open Day, and TY Lab Leaders. Word on the corridors is that The Great TY Bake Off is due to make its appearance shortly! Now is the time to polish off those cookbooks and get in some practice bakes! Next week, sees our first TY Enterprise Fair of the school year, on Wednesday, where our Enterprise class will showcase their Products to first and fourth years. The TY Enterprise class is also in full swing with the TY Hoodies. Students have been given the opportunity to voice their thoughts on all the options that are available. Complete the Google Form now and have your voice heard. Next week brings with it Maths week where our students will be involved in the TY Maths Scavenger Hunt and Peter Problem. We also look forward to Sign Language starting next week with 3 groups in participation. The OLS Careers Department together with the TY Team is delighted to be welcoming a school visit by IADT next week. They will speak to our students about all IADT has to offer including their range of new courses. TY's will be participating in Active Consent later in the year. Active Consent have scheduled two Parents, Guardians, and Careers Seminars which parents of TY students can attend to learn more about Active* Consent and what your child will be engaging with in the Active Consent workshop later in the year.
