Transition Years Visit Shrewsbury House

Last week, our Transition Year students had the wonderful opportunity to visit Shrewsbury House Nursing Home as part of our Christmas outreach initiative. During their visit, the students worked together to create 35 personalised Care Packs—one for every resident—to help bring some festive cheer to the community this Christmas.

The morning was filled with warmth and laughter as the students sang Christmas carols and later spent time chatting with the residents. Festive treats were also included which made the experience especially meaningful for everyone involved.

We wish to acknowledge the support of Ms. Butler and Mr. Scales, who assisted the students in creating their Care Packs and oversaw the visit. We also offer sincere thanks to Ms. MacAuley and Ms. Cooney for their essential role in planning and facilitating this meaningful and holistic activity.

It was a memorable day of connection, kindness, and community spirit!

YSI Class Meet Dr Mary Barrett

Today, the 4L YSI Class had a fantastic Teams meeting with Dr. Mary Barrett, a gynecologist and obstetrician from Cork University Maternity Hospital, who is a specialist in Endometriosis. This session was incredibly helpful for the students as they continue their research for their YSI project, EndoAware, which focuses on spreading awareness about Endometriosis.

The girls are really excited and can’t wait to launch their awareness campaign!
