Before Christmas, our Staff held a fundraiser to help people in Gaza by providing clean drinking water through ‘Uisce for Gaza’.
We are so pleased to be able to sponsor a full truck of water with donations from a coffee morning and a Christmas Hamper raffle, raising €500. A friend of Ms. Barrett's and Ms. Quinlan's, Mohammed Alazzami, who is also a teacher, delivers two trucks of drinkable water each day. He is working tirelessly in the Khan Yunis area to help the people displaced from their homes and currently living in tents. Uisce for Gaza raises money that is being used immediately and in a very practical and tangible way.
December 10th was International Human Rights Day and our CSPE lessons that week focused on Water as a Human Right and the denial of that basic right to the people of Palestine, specifically Gaza.
This fundraiser is one small way we can help. We would like to thank the staff for their kindness and generosity.

5th and 6th year students will be doing a Study Skills Workshop on January the 8th and 9th with Inspire Education. Parents/Guardians are asked to make the payment of €14 through the school app.
This will be an encouragement for students to get into a positive frame of mind with the upcoming mock exams in February.
Overview of the workshop:
Students will be introduced to the five steps to exam success in a dynamic and structured way. They will examine brain plasticity and its role in success. They will explore a range of multi-sensory study and revision strategies. Maximise will also examine the role of sleep, nutrition and technologies in overall wellbeing. Students will devise an exam countdown planner as part of an exploration of effective time management tools and that builds on the evidence around spaced practice. Finally, students will be shown how to prepare psychologically for exam time and how to maximise exam techniques.
Each student receives an A4 booklet during the seminar that also contains follow-on activities.
