Safer Internet Day 2019

Posted on February 5, 2019 | Leave a comment

Today is Safer Internet Day 2019. To mark the occasion everyone in Scoil Chill Ruadhain was very busy learning about how to keep ourselves and others safe online. We learned about the importance of looking for permission before sharing photos of other people and why it is important to keep our personal information private and never share it online. We discussed what to do if we see something which makes us uncomfortable online and why it is important to create rules within our families regarding screen time and Internet use. We were delighted to receive Safer Internet Day wristbands to remind us all that together we can make the Internet safer for everyone!

We were delighted to receive the Cork County Council Safety Flag yesterday in a ceremony in The Vertigo Room on the 17th floor of the County Hall. Fifth Class have been working really hard over the past few months in order to reach this achievement. They have been on water safety training days and have taught all the younger students about water safety.

Fire Safety

We were delighted to have a visit from the Fire Brigade this week. They set a chip pan on fire in the yard and showed us the scary effect water has on an oil fire. We learned that every house should have a fire blanket in the kitchen in case of emergencies!

Stop and Stare

Posted on December 12, 2016 | Leave a comment

A number of weeks ago, children from Sixth Class took part in a drama production together with a members of the Cope Foundation’s drama group. They spent the day getting to know each other, learning the script and rehearsing together. In the afternoon they put on a performance for the children in 3rd to 5th. The messages portrayed in the drama were simple yet powerful. We saw how words can both hurt and heal; how we can lift others up or bring them down; the lasting impact bullying and negative behaviour can make. All of the children, both actors and spectators, learned a lot from the experience. We would like to extend huge thanks to the Cope Foundation for giving us the opportunity to take part in Stop and Stare, and to help share the important message that all people should be treated the same way.
