There has been a good response to our Parent Programme on Mindfulness. We are delighted that in total 12 parents from our school and Edenderry Primary have availed of this opportunity. The programme is still running and parents have reported great enjoyment and benefit from the sessions.
One parent commented,
“It has been a great opportunity for parents to share the good and bad times that they face. It is good to know you are not on your own and it has provided me with a great support network and strategies to help me”.
We hope that parents continue to enjoy this programme over the coming weeks.
A big thank you to Bannside Church who have provided us with a quiet and relaxing environment for our training.

A big thank you to Sarah Lennon our Yoga teacher. The siblings had a great session learning about breathing and relaxation techniques. The siblings were great at maintaining their balance to complete different postures. The siblings also enjoyed playing listening games with the singing bowl and they faced different physical challenges aimed at helping them to learn to work in teams.
