Good afternoon,

Today concluded our very successful and positive Wellbeing Week. We will have a detailed report and a gallery of photos available to view next Friday. In the meantime, here is the link to all PowerPoint presentations used in classes this week. They served as a great focus for the theme of each day and encouraged curiosity and discussion. Please feel free to view them, today's PowerPoint includes a lovely video of our students and their thoughts and feelings about Wellbeing Week. A particular word of thanks to our incredible Wellbeing Prefect Clíona Lawlor who, along with Milo Ramparsaud, Lily McCarthy Flood and the Amber Flag Committee, were instrumental in organising the week's events and displayed wonderful leadership skills. They are to be commended.

Dear parents and guardians,

We have two disabled parking bays in the school. We have some students, parents and visitors who require these bays at various times throughout the day. However, some cars are using these bays as drop-off/collection points etc. Please do not use these bays at any stage of the day for any length of time unless you have the required permit to park in these bays.

Many thanks for your support on this.

We are celebrating Wellbeing Week in Scoil Mhuire the week of the 19th - 23rd February. As part of our Wellbeing week, we are delighted to invite parents to attend a webinar facilitated by psychologist Fiona Forman. Details of the talk are below: 

Raising Resilient Children: Approaches from Positive Psychology

Resilience is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. We need to equip them with the skills they need to flourish and thrive, despite the difficulties and obstacles of life.

The field of Positive Psychology, which is the science of well-being, can offer us many approaches and ideas for nurturing our children’s resilience, through a combination of support and skills.

 This talk explores insights and research on resilience, as well as 8 practical resilience skills and ways to develop them in children.

 Date: 22nd February

Time: 7:30pm

Location: Online - Zoom (link will be forwarded closer to the time)

As places may be limited, we need to gather expressions of interest. Those who have registered will be emailed the zoom link.
