Gaisce at Home Campaign launched
For participating Transition and Fifth Year students, the ‘Gaisce at Home’ campaign was launched this week to encourage students to continue working on their Bronze and Silver awards whilst maintaining social distance. The campaign wants students to stay active and engaged in their personal development and community action. Everyone can play their part in getting through this challenging time!
Students can change their personal, community or physical challenge so that it complies with HSE guidelines. If any student has any queries they can email Ms. McGuirk for more information.
