Wellbeing Week 2024

June is upon us and our school year is coming to a close. May was a particularly busy month for all, so, with that in mind, we started June by celebrating ‘Wellbeing Week 2024’.

The aim of this week was to focus on nurturing a positive attitude towards ourselves and others and what looking after our wellbeing means.

During the week all classes participated in activities that nurture positive physical, mental, emotional and social wellness.

Throughout the week pupils partook in some of the following activities: healthy snack demonstrations, activities organised by the Sports Council, yoga and meditation workshops, friendship bracelet making, relaxation time and much more. There were games and music in the yard daily too!

Our Wellbeing Committee, made up of students from 6th class, greeted all classes daily over the intercom with a special message and quote of the day.

We kicked off the week with ‘Take Time Tuesday’. All classes were encouraged to take time to stop and think about all the good in our lives, enjoy the simple things around us, look at everything in our lives that we can be thankful for, and develop an attitude of gratitude!

Following that was Wellness Wednesday.

Today's focus on our wellness journey was mindfulness.

We learned what it is, how it helps us and practiced being mindful.

As we went about our day, we took time to stop and use our senses to focus on whatever we may be doing. We were in the moment!

The week ended on a high with ‘Triumphant Thursday’. The day was all about celebrating each person's individuality and the things we do to make us feel happy and proud. We celebrated how each person in our school community is unique and special. It was a dress up day, we had amazing wacky clothes and hairstyles!The first round of the Student Council Show of Talent took place within classes. We all got to enjoy a surprise treat from Príomhoide!! The ice cream van was a big hit.
