TY Reps Instagram
There is an STMC Instagram account for students to contact their Reps and voice your points of view - make sure you sign up. I am doing my best to take on board all opinions and adapt to out current restrictive conditions.
A particular thank you to Richard Tobin for his tireless efforts (& all the TY Reps) in seeking the opinions of the TY.
TY Hoodies are in!
Thanks to Nothing Planned for dropping in our hoodies yesterday.
I'll be sending out details as to how you can pick yours up on Monday

SOAR are running a free webinar on
Teenager Mental Health
Wednesday, 9th December
12:45pm -1:30pm
FREE
From SOAR:
"Teenagers have been central to important conversations and decisions during COVID-19. There’s no doubt a lot of column inches, radio slots and TV discussions have been dedicated to speaking ABOUT teenagers, but not many have spoken WITH them.
At Soar, we provide environments where teenagers are part of the conversation. We don’t speculate or talk on their behalf. We listen to what they have to say and we welcome their truth.
Join us in the company of teenagers on December 9th where you will get an unfiltered insight into teenage reality. In hearing from them you will better understand their difficulties and fears, but also the insights they have gained and the positive change that has occurred for some. You might be surprised with what you hear.
We understand it’s a very difficult time for Parents and Guardians, too. We will discuss some practical steps to gaining a greater understanding of your teenager’s world, and leave you feeling more confident in supporting them in the weeks and months ahead."
