Leaving Cert Applied students took a walk down ‘Safety Street’, Ireland’s first purpose-built interactive centre where young people can experience various realistic scenarios in a safe environment. Students were asked to navigate three realistic safety scenarios brought to life by volunteer actors from the University of Limerick.
The scenarios included:
* Personal Safety – Short Dark Alley v Long Bright Way Home.
* Life After Drugs – Tales from a recovering addict.
* That’s not ASB? – Impact of Antisocial Behaviour.
Each scenario was followed by discussions and Q&A sessions with representatives from Limerick City Council, Health Service Executive and Garda Síochána.
The initiative was organised by Limerick’s Community Coordinators (employees of LCCSP – Limerick City Community Safety Partnership Ltd) to encourage teenagers to identify everyday hazards and develop safe strategies to deal with potential emergencies, changing their behaviour to keep themselves and others safe.
Some photos from the recent Junior Certificate Results Day. Congratulations to all the students whose successes were to many to mention. Congratulations to all the teachers who achieved above national average results.
A Big welcome to the 107 first years starting with us tomorrow the 1st of September.
2nd and 3rd years will return on the 2nd September with the remainder of the school rejoining us on the 3rd.
In an attempt to safeguard the expertise and skills of grandparents in Ireland and in many parts of the world, Darina Allen helped to launch the first Slow Food International Grandmother’s Day, last year which was celebrated on April 25th. It is an opportunity for grandmothers and grandfathers to bring together their grandchildren in order to impart their knowledge, experience and to reminisce about their own childhoods. These occasions allow precious life skills to be shared and not forgotten.
The Irish Examiner newspaper in conjunction with Slow Food Ireland welcomed and supported the initiative for the second year running. School students were invited to enter the competition by sending in their favourite grannies’ recipe along with reasons for their choice. The winning recipe chosen was submitted by Sharon Geary, a 5th Year student in Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher.
Part of Sharon’s prize is a cookery demonstration in Hazelwood College by none other than Darina Allen of the internationally acclaimed Ballymaloe Cookery School, Shanagarry Co. Cork. “The Home Economics department are absolutely delighted with Sharons’ success and we are currently preparing for the forthcoming demonstration by Darina Allen in the school on Tuesday 17th May” said Ms. Daly.
