Speakers from Cuan Mhuire: Huge thanks to our guest speakers from Cuan Mhuire Rehabilitation Centre in Athy for opening up to the TY students about life changing addictions such as gambling, alcohol and drug abuse. Our students took away valuable advice and learned a lot from the honest and emotional stories our guests had to tell.
Knowledge, Awareness and Safety (KAS) Programme: For two Mondays in November, Transition Year students attended presentations from two representatives from the Carlow and South Leinster Rape Crisis Centre. These talks educated students using different case studies to help them to understand more about sexual harassment and its consequences. Students were also informed about laws and legislation surrounding consent, rape and sexual assault. TYs learned a lot of valuable information from the presentations.
