Make a Book

Posted on by

On the 10th March, 2nd Year JCSP students will attend the “Make a Book” display in the Civic Offices on Wood Quay.  There will be hundreds of books on display some accompanied by amazing art and craft work. Some of the schools involved whole class groups in writing one big book, while in other schools everyone wrote their own individual books. There will be huge, three-dimensional books, dainty little books, and collections of beautifully crafted and decorated texts that had been painstakingly put together. The project this year will be based on the 1916 Rising. We are very much looking forward to what the students come up with!

It is open to the public Wednesday 9th March 9am-4pm, Thursday 10th March 9am-4pm and Friday 11th March 9am-12:30pm. Something not to be missed.

‘Positivity Tree’

A group of TYS and their Art teacher Ms O Leary have created a wonderful Positivity Tree for this year’s Cycle Against Suicide Student Leaders Congress which has as it’s theme ‘Together We Can’. The tree which will hang in a prominent place on our school corridor will be a permanent symbol of our school community’s commitment to promoting mental health awareness, wellbeing and help seeking behaviour.

Each class group will be responsible for writing the weekly positive message on the tree so making it a whole school activity.
Ciara Farrell TY2 was due to speak about our Positivity Tree to Ray D’Arcy on his RTE Radio 1 show on this Wednesday January 13th between 3 and 4.30pm, but unfortunatelyhas been cancelled. She may speak on another date so keep an eye on the website for any updates.

All TYs are attending the Cycle Against Suicide Student Leaders Congress in the RDS on this Thursday 14th. which promises to be a fantastic experience if previous years are anything to go by!
