STUDENT COUNCIL UPDATES
Advertisement
The Student Council had a busy term wrapping up their end-of-year initiatives and events. During Wellbeing Week, a student Bake Sale and Staff Bake Off brought students and staff together to remember the importance of good mental and health and how to seek help by fundraising for Pieta House. Congrats to Ms Stacey (our Star Baker) and runners up Mr Carroll and Ms Gallagher and to all who took part for this generous cause.
In preparation for exams digital clocks were provided for State Exams for ease for students and extras were ordered for teacher classrooms.
For graduation, the Student Council gifted a Graduation Hat box to all 6th toolkit to prepare them for life after St. Paul's as a small keepsake. We want to take this opportunity to thank the whole school community for their continued cooperation with our initiatives and to wish all students the best of luck with upcoming examinations. Applications for Student Council will be open in the new academic year.
Wellbeing And Smile Club
This term the Smile Club organised Wellbeing Week with their liaison Teacher Ms G. O'Toole. There was a number of events and competitions for students to take part in such as Healthy Eating Quizes, Music in the Mornings, Cosy Clothes Non-uniform Day (with the assistance of Student Council), Sport's Day Tuck Shop, Friendship Egg Hunt at Easter break, Friendship Poetry Competition, Design-afriend Competition, Appreciation Stations and Karma Cards. Thank you all so much for getting involved!
Fifth Year Ecology Trip
Biology students were accompanied by their teachers Ms Kemple and Ms G O'Toole to Airfield Estate in Dundrum on Thursday 11th of May to complete their fieldwork on grassland habitats. Whilst the weather may have been stormy, windy and rainy this did not dampen their spirits! Students completed their study of how to survey a habitat to discover the flora and fauna before touring around Airfield estate to discover their farming methods, sustainable actions and biodiversity protection measures - a great day for all involved.
