We have been asked to share information relating to an upcoming webinar to support adolescents engaged in self-harm. Professor Eilis Hennessy is leading a research team from University College Dublin and Pieta on a project funded by the Irish National Office of Suicide Prevention They had a great response to their request for parents to share their experiences with supporting adolescents engaged in self-harm.

The HSE National Guidelines on Physical Activity for Ireland (attached) include a range of interesting findings on young people’s activity levels in Ireland and also the benefits. Here is a list of some of the great activities we have planned for next week: - Movement breaks during/end of classes to improve students concentration - Walking club at lunchtime on Monday - Yoga for each Clan Group with Mairead - Hike around Ticknock on Wednesday (consent form to follow) - 'Take on the Teachers' Challenge at lunchtime on Thursday - Students encouraged to get involved with our after school sports program of badminton and basketball - Students will be given an Active piece of homework to try each evening and upload to OneNote - Students and staff are encouraged to walk/cycle to school if possible, for even part of their journey.

RSE and SPHE Survey
Created : 07 Mar 2022, 12:54 PM
Archived : 08 Apr 2022, 1:00 AM
Students in Irish secondary schools study a subject called Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE). Part of this programme covers Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE.) It is important to note that good teaching does not merely involve 'covering content.' The manner in which sometimes sensitive issues are examined, discussed and engaged with is very important. Good teaching is agile to the needs and vulnerabilities in the room. A link to the SPHE Junior Cycle programme is contained here: www.curriculumonline.ie/getmedia/10a6e6be-40dd-425b-9463-dabfb2131fcd/NCCA-JC-Short-Course-SPHE.pdf Our SPHE teachers are planning for a growing school and are keen to use your feedback to help them better serve the needs of the young people in Goatstown ETSS.
