Bike Week


Not only does cycling offer more independence for young people, it lowers emissions & noise pollution... it's also fantastic for your health.


A recent study (source: The British Medical Journal ) found that people who commute by bike have:


- a 52% lower risk of death from heart disease;

- a 46% lower risk of developing heart disease;

- a 40% lower risk of death from cancer

- a 45% lower risk of developing cancer


 

TY Soup Run Volunteering

(week night to be agreed upon)


I will be sharing a sign up form on Google Classroom this Monday with details about Homeless Contact Work (soup run) throughout the year.


Generally, this work involves organising sandwiches, tea & coffee for people who are rough sleeping in Dublin City. We distribute these one evening a week, chatting to those we share food with as we go.


There will be staff accompanying you during each soup run.

 

Interesting Private Courses outside of school:


I'm going to share some external private courses that may be of interest to you over the year.


These can all be done in your own time (some, but not all, will have additional costs).


This 13 week private cookery course would be suitable for the Personal Skill section of the Gaisce Award.
