Friends For Life in Bunscoil
Friends for Life is a program designed to assist children in developing essential skills and techniques to cope with difficult and anxiety-provoking situations. It helps build emotional resilience and problem-solving abilities. It promotes self-confidence and encourages peer learning and support networks. These skills were never more important. The lessons incorporate breath work, meditation and fun team-building activities. The girls really looked forward to participating in this programme over the past six weeks. Well done to 5th and 6th class and to Ms Fizmaurice and Ms Kearney for firstly training to deliver this programme and secondly for delivering it so well.
