At Naas Community College we want to ensure that all staff and students are happy and feel safe when in school. In order to ensure this Naas Community College has launched the “Get Connected” programme with Positive Mental Health Week October 5th-9th 2015. During this week the school will host:
Cheerio’s Breakfast Morning Monday 5th October in aid of Cherrios Childline which answer calls 24 hours a day from children in danger and in need.
Walk a Day in their Shoes - Funky Shoe Day on Friday 9th October in aid of St Patricks Mental hospital. It is hoped that by wearing odd or mismatched shoes, we can step out of our comfort zone and help to stamp out the stigma that surrounds mental health difficulties while raising vital funds to support vulnerable young adults in Ireland. ‘Walk in My Shoes’ is a campaign of St. Patrick’s Mental Health Foundation raising funds to provide mental health services, support and information to those who need it most. Students and teachers are asked to wear odd shoes on Friday 9th October. You can simply wear a pair of odd shoes or decorate and reinvent an old pair of shoes. There will be a prize on Friday for the best student pair and best staff pair of odd shoes.
