The School of Psychology at University College Dublin  are conducting research examining adolescent mental health and their intentions to seek help. As part of this research, UCD's school of Psychology have organised a free webinar series for parents/teachers or anyone interested in adolescent mental health.

From the 4th of March to the 15th of March, we want to encourage students and staff to pledge to take a more environmentally friendly journey to school. Such as walking to school if you are from Lismore, or 'Park & Stride' from the Community Centre, make a plan to carpool or catch the Local Link! You may not be able to commit to the 10 days but any few days or just one day would have a positive effect. 

If you are interested and want to make a pledge please Email Mr Joyce at paul.joyce@blackwatercs.com. 

Take plenty of pictures and send by email to Ms Meagher at elaine.meagher1@blackwatercs.com  

After the two week with our pledges and pictures we will then be able to enter the national competition.

Best of Luck to our Team travelling to Croke Park today for the Angus Beef Schools Competition
