We have our Candle of Remembrance Display in the Foyer with the boys decorated paper candles, remembering our loved ones who have died.
Mrs O'Callaghan, Ms. O'Regan, Mr. Weir and members of our Health Promoting Schools Committee presenting a cheque to Jeanne McCarthy of ARC Cancer Support Services.
Well done everyone for putting in such a big effort for such a worthy cause.
At our Assembly last week Joanne McCarthy of Arc House, Cork, called to collect cheque €1,176.40 from our Student Council (in total €1,229.35 raised, the cheque given was less the monies used to make up some of the hampers - other items for hampers kindly donated by members of staff).
Joanne told us that every cent raised will go directly towards providing emotional support and practical help for those affected by cancer and their families. Thanks to everybody who supported this worthy cause.
Thanks to everybody for bringing in Teddy Bears for the Niall Melon foundation. The response was overwhelming. We are sure that the children who’ll receive them will have a huge smile on their faces. Thanks to all who were so generous in the Hope Foundation shoe Box Appeal - it was way beyond our expectations.
We still have our Candle of Remembrance Display in the Foyer with the boys decorated paper candles, remembering our loved ones who have died.

Health Promoting Schools for school year 2015/2016
This year in Health Promoting Schools we are focusing on the area of mental health. In addition to this we are still working on the healthy eating initiative and also looking at increasing our physical activity levels. It is recommended that we have at least 60 minutes of physical activity on a daily basis. To keep track of their activity levels we have provided our boys with LAYA Healthcare Super Trooper Journals and Wall Planners to fill out at home. Those boys that have been recording into their journals to date have been awarded with certificates for each of the levels completed (orange and navy). From February 22nd 2016 we will be working on the green level.
With regards to the area of Mental Health and Wellbeing we have been looking at areas such as being thankful and grateful. At Christmas each of the boys made a decoration and wrote a message on the back of it saying what they were thankful for. These were non-material items such as family, friends, having people to play with, having somebody collect them after school and having a warm meal to go home to in the evening. These decorations were displayed on a christmas tree. What a lovely display it made boys! Check out the photos.
During the month of January and February, we are looking at the importance of being happy. Happier people are more energetic, more fun to be around and have greater "bouncebackability", making it easier for us to cope with stressful situations that we are faced within our lives. If we are happy in ourselves, it is a lot easier to concentrate and learn making school life more enjoyable. To create awareness in our school community, we are working on a display that shows what makes each one of us happy. We wrote on jig-saw pieces and we will connect them all together and display them on our HPS Board. Recording these small moments either by writing or drawing a picture helps to focus our attention on the good things that sometimes slip our minds.

As part of our Health Promoting School’s, Active Schools and Green Schools we are delighted to announce that our school run is on next Monday the 27th of June @ 11.00 a.m. The boys have been training hard for this over the past two months and are really looking forward to it.
The route includes starting in the school field, running out the avenue, turn right down past Tesco at traffic lights turn right until we come to Supervalu, turn right after Farrell’s pub, up the hill at the side of Supervalu and up past the priest’s house and back up to school year. For those boys who are older and feeling up to we would be encouraging them to complete the route twice.
All pupils to wear school tracksuit/shorts and runners next Monday. I would also ask that if your son(s) has a high vis vest that he would bring it to school and wear it for the event.
HSE Health Promotion Schools Division is very impressed with our work rate to date during the current school year. We were informed last Thursday that we have received Health Promotion School Status and The Health Promoting Schools Flag for the work done during this school year. This is a huge achievement that needed the work and support from all in our school community. The class representatives on the Health Promoting School’s committee were all awarded certificates at our end of year assembly for all their work during the year.
