Online workshops around the area of personal safety have been organised for 3rd, 4th & 5th Year students. These workshops will take place over the next week (please see schedule below). The programme lasts approx. 2 hours and will cover the following subjects: Consent, bullying, boundaries, body image, texting/sexting, sending and receiving inappropriate images, inappropriate use of words and actions and their consequences. The topics will be discussed age appropriately. We ask that all students have their cameras on as this increases the interaction between the facilitator and students. 3rd Years - Monday 22nd March (3rd Year students, when not involved with their scheduled workshop time, will have no classes on Monday). 9.00 - 11.00 (3B & 3C) 11.30 - 1.30 (3A & 3F) 2.00 - 4.00 (3D & 3E) 4th Years - Wednesday 24th March (schedule to follow) 5th Years - Tuesday 23rd March (workshop will take place FROM HOME).

Form classes 5A, 5B ,5C & 5H will participate Tuesday 23rd March between 11:30 and 1:30. They finish morning lessons at 11:00 and then will join via Zoom for the 2 hours.

Transition Year
The Transition Year group are going to do some virtual fundraising for Daffodil Day and the Irish Cancer Society. Daffodil Day street collections have once again had to be cancelled this year. To help support the Irish Cancer Society and the 44,000 Irish people affected by cancer each year, we have set up a virtual collection page to raise vital funds. So what next? This will be kept very simple - I am asking all TY students to do a 5km walk or run. When? Next Tuesday 23rd March - All classes will stop for TYs from 12.30p.m to give you the chance to get out and about. (Feel free to start now!) While out I want students to take a photo of their walk/run, and if possible get some daffodils in the shot. Send the photo to me via email sc@naascbs.ie I would also like for them to post on social media including some of the hashtags #naascbs #daffodilday #irishcancersociety There is a virtual donation page set up. This is the link: daffodilday-virtualcollection.blackbaud-sites.com/fundraising/naas-cbs-transition-year-202021-fundraising-p I have attached a Slides Presentation outlining some extra information. It can also be accessed through this link: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mH720xHMaQYX2vyG_nDmoH8uYnRwuP3IH0PEnI3t5LE/edit?usp=sharing I have also attached a series of images you can use to post on social media to raise awareness. Have a look through these images as they are eye-opening to what your donations can do. There is also a QR code also which when scanned will bring people directly to our donation page. I would love to see the lads come together as a year group and make a special effort for this. If anyone needs any help just let me know. All the best, S.Coy

Transition Year
Global Money Week is a worldwide initiative aimed at inspiring young people to learn about money matters and takes place this year from the 22nd March.  This year’s theme is ‘Taking care of your money, taking care of yourself’, and it aims to help young people to learn to manage their money wisely now and into the future. MABS, the Money Advice and Budgeting Service, is supporting Global Money Week and is offering to provide an interactive workshop on money matters to students in transition year, which specifically focusses on the skills of budgeting and saving.   The workshop builds upon many years’ experience of providing money management education in the community and focuses on the interests and needs of young people. I have organised this workshop for next Monday 22nd March at 14.00p.m Places are limited however so all interested TY students must contact me via email (sc@naascbs.ie) to register and I will forward the link closer to the time. If there is sufficient interest I will arrange a second workshop after Easter.

Just to remind TY students and parents that there are specific chat groups set up in the school app (separate to the notification feed) where I pass on various items of information. The notifications for these groups need to be enabled within the chat itself and in your phone settings. Please see the link to the following video showing this: drive.google.com/file/d/1c7N-OHJn_3nK1lWpRqYV40On7NqtL7Jq/view?usp=sharing The chat groups can be found by navigating to the app menu, and selecting 'Chat Boards'. It is worth checking these chat groups regularly incase any notifications are missed or don't come through. Messages are posted here frequently.
