What is school refusal? School refusal behaviour refers to a student’s refusal to attend school or difficulty remaining in classes for an entire day. The problem is pervasive and exacts a heavy toll on students, families and schools if left unaddressed. School refusal can be defined as the ‘child motivated refusal to attend school or difficulty remaining in school for an entire day’ (Lyon & Colter, 2007). Refusal to go to school may happen at any age. Please see a webinar link below devised by The Department of Education and Skills and the National Educational Psychology service (NEPS) regarding school refusal. We hope you find it helpful.

TY5 did their First Aid Course today with Cora Fitzgerald. So, what's covered in a basic first aid course? Valuable skills around how to act in an emergency, whether that's a stroke, heart attack, treating burns, or administering CPR. “You're better off to know and not need it, than to need it and not know,” Well done TY5.
