The Irish Prison Service workshop for TY
Created : 25 Feb 2020, 11:03 AM
Archived : 25 Apr 2020, 12:00 AM
Fergal Murphy and John Sinnott gave a very interesting talk entitled ‘Use your brain not your fists’ as part of the international drive to make young people aware of the potential devastation caused by One Punch... the workshop included video footage, victim impact statements, interviews with bereaved families along with personal experiences of the prison officers. A very strong message to THINK before engaging in confrontation was delivered although the boys were told that defending oneself is sometimes necessary but only as a last resort. Our thanks to Fergal and John for spending the morning with us yesterday.

Wellbeing week

Yesterday marked the beginning of Wellbeing Week here in the school. While it’s important to take care of ourselves and our wellbeing everyday this week promotes and celebrates taking care of ourselves. The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health as 'a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. It is important we look after every aspect of our health everyday! Take time out of each day to relax and unwind, make time for friends and family, eat well and do things that bring you joy! Here are some of our 1st and 2nd years taking some time out of their hectic schedules to relax, step away from their technology devices and play some board games with their friends and classmates.

Parents and Underage Sport, Ireland (2020) Survey for parents

A chara, My name is Enda Butler and I am a Sport & Exercise Science student from the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology. For my final project, I am undertaking a nationwide study examining how parental attitudes and perceptions shape the physical training and athletic development of children in sport. The survey is available to complete online now via this link: sur.ie/7ySJyA or the below QR code ( found on attached pdf): I would greatly appreciate if this email could be forwarded to parents. Also, any means by which participation could be improved, such as a mention in a newsletter, or placement on a noticeboard would be most helpful. I am inviting the parents of children in your school, as well as parents amongst the faculty to participate in this research study by completing an online survey. The survey is now active, and may be completed up until April 10th 2020. Participation will pose no risk to the responder. The participants can fill out this online survey in their own time using their own computer/device and should take less than ten minutes. Every effort has been made to ensure that the questions are not of a sensitive nature. The cover page will tell participants about the purpose of this research study and allow them to consent to the survey. Parents are free to withdraw participation at any stage, without the requirement to provide reasons for withdrawal. Purpose of the study: This study seeks to understand how parents shape the development of their children in sport. A questionnaire will be used within a mixed methodology study to assess prevalence and frequencies of sporting engagement and the level of involvement of both children and parents. The purpose is to see if the prevailing attitudes align with current best practice recommendations within the Sport Science literature. Benefits in taking part To the best of our knowledge, there are no published studies which address parental attitudes using these methods. Analysis of the resulting data will be beneficial for children, schools, clubs, and the scientific community and will hopefully facilitate a discussion around the significance of parental attitudes in shaping children's sporting behaviours. Please feel free to contact me if you wish to clarify any of the above points. Is mise le meas, Enda Butler Sport & Exercise Science, Department of Natural Sciences, School of Science and Computing, Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, Dublin Road, Galway.
