Update on Lotto Fundraising
With your support through the St Patrick's NS Lotto Fundraising, we have decided not only to purchase some new PE equipment for the pupils, but also some new technology! Read on to find out!
Since the changes in our lives recently, the once-ignored practices of mindfulness and well-being are more important than ever before. The rise in mental health issues since March has exploded in our country and worldwide. But when is the best time to begin looking after your mental health?
Childhood....
Many of us are slightly better informed on the subject nowadays but by having the opportunities to engage in the practices of well-being and activity from an early age, we can try and work towards building a better mental future for our pupils. Part of this is fitness and activity. As a result, we have decided to use the money to purchase the first Audio-Visual Projection equipment for the PE Hall. This will allow our pupils and staff to engage in things like well-being and mindfulness practices, yoga, physical exercising, mental conditioning, dance and much more. Although we are not blessed with massive hall space, we are fortunate to have amazing pupils and staff who are willing to engage in new ideas, like mindfulness. So this new equipment will hopefully bring new opportunities to them in social, personal, health, emotional and physical development over time!
The projector is an ultra-short throw, complete with speakers and wireless laptop linking through a dongle, removing wires for us! It will be portable also.
This would not be possible without your continued support through our school lotto! The funds for all of this come through the lotto from your support - Thank you so much! Don't forget, the jackpot of €2,000 is still there to be won! We cannot wait until somebody wins!
We also want to give a massive THANK YOU to the parents/guardians on the school Fundraising Committee who continue to give their time to the school and community!
