Dear Parents/Guardians, Kildare Library Service are running a free programme of STEM workshops during June-August for children to attend in their local library along with a parent so they can explore STEM topics together. The workshops are open to kids aged 10-14 years and a parent and there will be three different topics: An introduction to robotics An introduction to 3D printing and digital fabrication An introduction to chemistry with a forensics crime scene investigation workshop Parents are widely recognised as key influencers of their children’s interest in STEM and these workshops seek to raise parents’ confidence in STEM and to better equip them to support their children in this area. I would be very grateful if you could circulate the attached brochure to your service users and help us get the message out more widely. We will also be circulating a printed brochure so please let me know if you would like for me to arrange delivery of some copies to you. Any questions just let me know.

FREE WEBINAR SERIES ON HOW PARENTS CAN SUPPORT CAREERS EXPLORATION Date: Tuesday May 31st @12.30pm for Parents & TY students 2022/23 Wednesday June 1st @12.30pm for Parents & 5th Years 2022/23 Thursday June 2nd @12.30pm for Parents & 6th Years 2022/23 Register on: www.synergycareers.ie/webinars-workshops/ For: Parents, students and Guidance Counsellors Content: The 34th to 36th Webinar in our series this year, 14th to 16th in our General Career Guidance topics for 2021/22. Career Decisions plays a central role in our young adolescents’ lives. Having worked in Career Guidance in state schools and private practise for over 20 years, and a parent of 4, I recognise the importance of being informed & prepared. Parents can find themselves overwhelmed when trying to help direct their son/daughter with studies and choosing Career Paths. The aim is to ensure both students and their parents go into each year group - TY, 5th and 6th year in Senior Cycle clear of what happens, guidelines and expectations of what happens in career guidance relative to the year groups: from work experience, subject choice, CAO, HPAT to applying for SUSI grants. I will be joined by guest speakers from colleges, guidance and parents/students. If you cannot make 12.30pm Monday, the session will be recorded and provided on www.synergycareers.ie. To access recordings, sign up as a member, options range from Free, Basic and Premium for Individuals and Schools. Viewing Options: Each webinar is hosted on zoom, links are provided once you register. If the webinar reaches full capacity make sure to go to our facebook page where it will be broadcast live www.facebook.com/synergycareers?ref=hl Alternatively, if you cannot make 12.30pm Monday, ALL webinars are recorded so you won't miss out.

On Thursday the 12th of May, a group of TY, 5th & 6th year students travelled from Scoil Mhuire to Knock Shrine for Donal Walsh’s anniversary mass. We arrived for registration with over 2000 other students and teachers from schools across the country in the Knock Basilica. It was an action packed day including excellent guest speakers such as Paul Galvin, Lisa Fallon, Annette Kelly & Fr John Harris. There were a choice of workshops for students to attend and a chance to fill holy water bottles to bring back to Clane. Mass was then celebrated in Donal’s Memory and Fionnbar and Elma Walsh spoke bravely about their son and his important message of #livelife. Well done to the students who travelled to Knock and who represented themselves and the school so well on the day.
