What a lovely and welcome sunny day to launch ‘Stand Up & Be You’ Week! Today marked the start of our annual week where we celebrate diversity across our school encouraging everyone to celebrate being themselves and celebrating our differences!

We started our week this morning with handing our multicoloured badges and lanyards to Teachers, launching our Tie-Dye Your Trainer Vote and re-launching our Chairde sa Chúirt (a beautifully decorated room for students to relax in and be themselves. We celebrated our re-launch with hot chocolate, music and cupcakes in the yard at lunchtime. The Chairde sa Chúirt will be open all this week at lunchtimes for all students to enjoy !

We have a full schedule for the rest of the week including – a Rubix Race everyday in the cafeteria at lunchtime, Screenings of movies and documentaries for Senior Students, Vote casting for tie-dye your trainers hair event on Friday, Class activity ‘Wall of Pride’ and lollipops for all on Friday.

Our anthem of the week is ‘Shake It Off’ inspired by Taylor Swift, no matter what, shake off the small stuff and Be Yourself!
