This is so unfair, Leaving Cert exams over a week (and weekend) that is supposed to be holidays, and their last school holiday!
Next time any Department of Education documentation references student wellbeing - this! A huge part of exams could be done by now - leaving Easter for rest and, if the students have the wherewithal, a little bit of revision. Some waiting until next Thursday. Change needed

Just playing around with @canva, a little reminder sheet for my #leavingcert #maths class before the Mocks begin. It may be of use to some. @PdstStem @imtanational

Thanks again to @JA_Irl for giving us the chance to facilitate the #Futurewize Programme with our first years! Itโ€™s a great opportunity to let students see the relevance of #STEM in everyday life and future careers! @scienceirel
We were lucky to have Christina from @ALGoodbody come to SMI last week as part of our first year @JA_Irl Futurewize Programme. Over the course of the programme they have worked as aerospace engineers, forensic scientists, nutritionists and sustainability consultants. @scienceirel

Used this today with my first years after their heart dissection, all students participated in a walk through commentary, a labeled diagram of the heart on the big screen gave a safety net to the students who otherwise would be reluctant to participate! Thanks @growgardeners #bw4
I havenโ€™t taught the heart through masking tape diagrams in ages. A really fun activity. Useful to be able to step through the heart to show the direction of blood flow.

As part of our Mental Health Awareness Day our entire school community took a break from work to complete some Mindful Colouring. Mindful colouring nurtures wellbeing, reduces stress and anxiety. @pietahouse #amberflag #positivity #wellbeing
