Healthy Hearts

Dear Parent/Guardian, On Monday December 2nd and Wednesday December 4th Naas CBS will be overseeing a heart screening clinic within the school for all Transition Year and Senior Cycle students. The ‘Healthy Hearts Healthy Lives’ foundation will be conducting the cardiac screening clinic in the school throughout the days mentioned above. ‘Healthy Hearts Healthy Lives’ was founded in 2011 and facilitates locally arranged cardiac screening clinics for those aged 14+ at various centres in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Their aim is to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS). The screening programme consists of the following: • Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Questionnaire @ initial screening session • An ECG is a simple and useful test which records the rhythm and electrical activity of your heart. • Consultant Cardiologist’s report on ECG. (Dr McGlinchey is the Consultant Cardiologist employed and he will be adhering to (2007) ESC guidelines for screening athletes with specific reference to SCD screening.) • Echocardiogram, should this be required. This will take place at a later date. • Referral to appropriate medical facility, if required. • Those requiring follow up will receive a phone call, outlining exactly what is involved. • Personal results letter to each individual screened and their GP if required. Undetected heart conditions affect about 1 in 300 people in Ireland. The primary focus is on screening people who wish to engage in sporting activities, however, the service is available to all who wish to undergo screening. All staff used in the administering and interpreting of the screening programme are medically qualified and experienced practitioners. The cost of this cardiac screening is €40 per child. Each participant will be required to fill out a permission slip, questionnaire and consent form prior to the screening. We feel that this is a hugely important and worthwhile exercise that can highlight any underlying health issues that may be affecting an individual. More information on ‘Healthy Hearts Healthy Lives’ can be found at www.healthyheartshealthylives.com/ After the midterm break further information will be sent home via the app about how your son can get involved in this. Many thanks

Transition Year

Well done to all the boys last week who participated in the activities in Carlingford and the few injured ones who still chose to travel and be with their friends. I hope they had a great experience. From my point of view, it was extremely disappointing and discouraging that so many students chose not to attend school on Thursday, It does not encourage teachers to organise activities and trips for the boys if this happens, as a result of being away. Full compliments and well done to the boys who did attend school, despite being tired or exhausted from the few days away. Good Luck to 4B who are out on Community Week this week. I hope that they will gain invaluable experience from helping out in local community organisations. Parents, could you please make sure that all outstanding CV's and Letters, for students in 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D & 4E, that were due for this course, are handed in to Ms Bolger before this Wednesday 16th. Also, over the next couple of weeks, there will be a number of projects due to be handed in, so if you could check up on this, it would be appreciated. Please also note that if your son is availing of extra Work Experience, outside of the dates assigned by the school, it must be pre-approved by either Mr Travers or myself. There is important documentation to be given to employers from the school.
