TY6 completed their Sports and Recreation module with Ms Reynolds today which gave them an introduction to lifting weights safely with correct form over the last few weeks. They were introduced to the fundamentals of the basic compound lifts: Deadlifts, Squats and Benchpress. They also had the chance to try some gymnastic movements like handstands and pull ups and even fit in a game of Benchball and a walk inbetween! They will hopefully now feel a lot more confident about lifting weights safely if they step inside a gym or simply have to carry heavy things at home.

Today all TY students gathered in St Monica's Chapel. Mass was celebrated by Fr Gerry to begin our school year. In it we prayed for each other and for the whole school family. We asked God to help us with our learning, our friendships, our sport, our music, our hobbies and with everything that is part of our school. Journey with us throughout this year. Give us hope as we look forward with anticipation and enthusiasm. Give us courage to walk together with friends who are already familiar to us and with new friends who have recently joined us. Fr Gerry also spoke about the icon of the Mother of Good Councel in our school chapel. He encouraged us to prayer to her for good advice. Everyone was glad to avail of time today in the church, to be still and reflect.

The purpose of the presentation was to support young people in understanding the root causes of poverty and ways that they can stand in solidarity with those impacted and take action!
