RTE Climate Youth Assembly

We're really proud at St Michael's of Salim Kajani and James Dunne who will be delegates representing Dublin in the upcoming Climate Youth Assembly.
Salim will be speaking to the Dail with his proposal relating to climate action and education.
We will be there in spirit, supporting the pair by live-streaming the assembly throughout the day.
Hallway Kurling
We've started the lunchtime series of hallway activities (whilst we prepare for crazy golf!) with Hallway Kurling!
Toastmasters & Effective Communication Sign Up
A big thank you to Simon Scriver who presented a lif skills workshop in public speaking. A massive help in helping the boys appreciate the value of body language and "flow" to presenting.
Simon is available for a course in the near future. If you're interested in taking it you can sign up HERE and read details below.
This is a 13-week course that takes place on Wednesdays, 3 pm and is limited to 12 students. The course covers presentation skills, public speaking, voice work, projection skills and creative drama.

Microsoft Dreamspace
Thanks to Microsoft for their incredible hospitality last Tuesday. As always, well done to the lads on representing themselves and St Michael's so well.
