Our school is one of 12 schools that was selected in Ireland to take part in the Restorative Practice Programme. As part of this programme all of the staff were trained in Restorative Practices and Circle Time. Our ne Because we live in a busy world we started doing little moments of Mindfulness in School. Our aim is that in a busy world we will all learn how to have calm time. We had visits from tutors who worked with the teachers and the children to get us started. Some of the teachers have also gone on to do other courses. If you see a sign on the door saying – Don’t disturb being Mindful – you know we are having a quiet time!

We also have a Play Therapist who visits to work with children with particular needs.

xt step is to train the children in Restorative Practices. These are excellent life skills which are used throughout the world.
