Pleased to mark 20 years of the School Completion Programme with @forsa_union_ie.
I want to wish the young people involved today every success - and thank all involved in this programme over the years.
Along with our colleagues in Bray Area Partnership and HSE Primary Care in Wicklow we were delighted to launch a report into the Chatterboxes initiative. To view the report please visit our website https://t.co/NGcNxT8wNR

🤔On restarting young people’s extra curricular activities remember...
The group with the highest rts of emotional difficulties are adolescent girls.
They are less likely to participate in group sports.
Arts, music, dance, gymnastics, drama etc are ALL vital for wellbeing.💛
So lots of excited children going back to school this morning. However, it's important to remember that some children are anxious about going back for lots of reasons. This resource might help some of those students the morning.
Our online return to school programme starts tomorrow for 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes. Looking forward to using some of these resources @doodlingbeth
The Department has a selection of resources featuring advice for parents with children returning to in-school learning.

So school (albeit virtual) is back tomorrow. We'll be checking in with all our students again this week, either calling to houses or catching up online. Looking out for each other has never mattered more. See you tomorrow.
