Message for TY Parents from the PA

Archived : 10 Feb 2021, 12:00 AM
Hi all Eithne Ryan (Aoife Ryan's (4E) and Clíona O Rourke (Gráinne Ellison 4R) are this yrs 4th Yr PA reps. This is a TY like no other but we hope the girls are enjoying it so far. In any normal year we would by now have organised a social gathering of some sort for you all and would know what musical and trips had been planned. But alas this year it's not possible. In an effort to keep the parent/guardian group in touch with each other we would like to invite you to join in our 4th year School App Group. The School App has been greatly enhanced this year with the objective of becoming a One Stop Shop for all school information. The PA hope to use it to replace the traditional email based lists. It has the facility for specific groups of Parents/Guardians e.g. by year/class/team etc to communicate but does not operate like WhattsApp messaging group. As the year progresses it will hopefully be a useful tool for the PA to communicate with you and for any parent to ask a quick question or clarify something - if it works well we intend to continue to use it in future years too. Depending on the response we may set up one or more groups for the year If you would like to be included please email clionaorourke@gmail.com with your name and your daughter’s name (that's all!) It would be nice to see as many Parents as possible join and who knows with a bit of luck and a decent vaccine we may even be inviting you to join us for a coffee in 2021! Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Clíona @087 277 2950 or Eithne @ 086 809 3880 Happy Christmas to you all

TY - Christmas Tree Charity Appeal

This year, all TY Groups participated in the TY Christmas Tree Challenge. Each group was faced with planning, designing, and building a Christmas tree which ties in a particular section of the Christmas story as well as a charitable cause. Our group 4E were given the story of the shepherds, and our charity was St. Joseph’s Dementia Centre Shankill, which is the only residential care in Ireland who specifically work with dementia patients. We were given the story of the Sheperd’s in which the angels told them how they could find Jesus in a crowded town. This idea can translate to the lives of dementia patients, whose memories at times may feel crowded and hard to navigate, but with proper care and attention, they can find their way to a time in their lives which they recognize and feel comfortable with. To incorporate this message into the design of out tree, we decided to construct our tree out of branches and sticks gathered from around the school grounds. As we know, shepherds carried a wooden crook around with them, which served as a walking stick and a way of herding their flocks of sheep. In addition to building the tree out of branches, each student contributed to making handmade decorations for the three, such as pom poms and the star on top. Not only does the design of our tree feed into the Christmas story, but also into our charity. Sensory objects are essential to people who are diagnosed with dementia, as the engage the individual whilst also keeping them came. We would like to thank our tutor Ms. Allen, who helped us with designing our tree, and allowing us the time to gather the materials for our tree and build it. We would also like to thank Ms. O’ Shea for helping us with incorporating the Christmas story into our design. We are now asking for help from everyone in the school by bringing in some items for our charity. St. Joseph’s in Shankill require the following: Fluffy socks, nightdresses, pajamas, nice candles, hand creams, essential oils and shaving kits for men. These goods will be collected by the relevant charities on the 16th December. We hope that the whole school will pull together and help our year group to help our charity.
