<span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;">Ireland has one of the highest suicide rates in the 14-24 age groups in the EU and 75% of all mental health difficulties begin before 24 years of age. Between 45% and 65% suffer from treatable mental illnesses such as depression or psychosis. Early intervention in these conditions can stop deterioration, aid recovery, and prevent relapse, giving young adults real hope in returning to a normal life.</span><span style="font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Friendship Week</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">This week we had our annual Fun Walk for Friendship Week. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Every class did an anti-bullying performance to raise awareness for bullying. Each year had a different colour. First years were</span><span style="color: #ff3399; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> pink</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">, second years were</span><span style="color: #6f30a0; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> purple</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">, third years were</span><span style="color: #01b050; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> green</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">, TYs were </span><span style="color: #ffc000; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">yellow</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">, fifth years were</span><span style="color: #0170c0; letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> blue</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"> and sixth years were black and white.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Unfortunately neither of our classes won the prize for best TY performance. Class Aurora, Mr. Kennedy’s class were the winners in TY.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">After all the excellent performances, the walk began. TYs led the walk, followed by sixth years and the first to fifth years. We walked a loop walk through Raphael’s and back again to the school. By the time we got back it was time to go home and everyone was really tired after a fun filled day.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Earlier on Thursday we also had our annual beginning of school mass. The priest came in and talked about the year ahead and to love ourselves, love god and love our neighbours. The Ministers of The Eucharist were commissioned and then went on to carry out their job. The choir and the Glee club both performed wonderful musical pieces to go along with the Mass. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Overall it was a very eventful week, filled with fun and anticipation.</span></div>

Our first week in Work Experience </h2>
On Wednesday this week, it was our first week of work experience. We had worked hard to get these placements; many of us had to write lots of letters until we got the placement. The week before, we had a work shop on work experience with Mr Corcoran and Ms Hughes. We talked about what to wear and how to address the employer. We were all very nervous but excited to go to our first placement on Wednesday. <br />
<br /><br />
We all had very different placements, from beauty salons to primary schools to chemistry labs. We all learned a lot on our first day and we felt very welcome at our different placements. We all really enjoyed our first week and we are looking forward to what our work experiences placements have to offer in the next couple of weeks. <br />

We started off early on Monday morning at 7am as we had a long bus ride ahead of us. It was finally time for our long awaited trip to Carlingford and we were all very excited. As soon as we got there, we got straight into our wetsuits and went out onto the water. We were split into two different groups. On the first day, Group A did canoeing and the combat course while Group B did kayaking and laser tag. After all those activities, we were all so hungry and so we headed back to the centre for dinner which was at 5pm. We then had some time to ourselves until 7pm when we headed on the Nightline, a walk through the forest while blindfolded! It was a very funny and interesting activity. It was a great team building exercise as we put our trust into one another. The view from the mountains was amazing!</div>

We were up bright and early again after a wake-up call from reception followed by some music to lift our spirits. We had to pack our bags and get down to breakfast as quickly as possible. Both groups were out on the water by 9am. We then switched activities and Group A took part in Kayaking and Group B had fun in the canoes. Both groups had the chance to go out on the water trampolines which was great fun. After the water sports, we were all relieved to be back in dry clothes. We had lunch and then were off on our afternoon activities. Group A did laser tag and Group B took part in the combat course. </div>

On Wednesday we were all really tired from the Carlingford trip but luckily, we had a fun packed day of workshops. We were asked to bring in our own makeup for the etiquette workshop where we learnt the proper way to apply makeup and false tan.<br />
<br />

<br />
The third and final workshop of the day was the Personal Management workshop. It helped us to gain a better outlook on life and learn about ourselves as people. It was a very helpful workshop full of laughs.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, we went to NUI Maynooth for the Student Enterprise workshop. We learnt about past mini company winners and it gave us helpful ideas about our own mini companies for the future. <br />
Overall it was a fun-filled week for us. We are all exhausted and looking forward to the weekend! <br />

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">On Wednesday we received our Junior Cert results. We were all really nervous at first but as soon as we opened the envelopes we were delighted.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When we arrived at the school at 11:50 we lined up in our old class groups in the hall. We were given a brief talk by our Principal, Ms. Barry, and then we were given our results. Ten minutes later everyone had left the hall and the preparation for the nights out began.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Everyone was happy with their results and enjoyed their nights out but we were all exhausted the next day in school. However, our attention is now turned to our trip to Carlingford Adventure Centre next Monday.</span></div>

When someone tells you that TY is a doss year you can tell them that they are wrong! Since we've come back from the midterm TY's have been kept very busy, with talks, trips, projects, work experience, and much more.<br />
<br />
<div>
A few of the girls went to Naas General Hospital to attend talks that were given by the doctors and nurses there. Katie wrote a blog post about the talks she went to, click <a href="http://katiedty.blogspot.ie/2013/11/tons-of-talks.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see it.<br />
<br />
Many of the girls have been busy with <a href="http://radioty.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Radio TY</a> interviewing people about the things we are doing in TY like Mini Company and Junk Kouture, as well as things happening around the school such as the Open Day.<br />
Some of the TY's were helping out at the open day, <a href="http://caoimhestystory.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Caoimhe</a> was helping in the music room while <a href="http://rowensty.blogspot.ie/2013/11/once-upon-time-open-day.html" target="_blank">Rowen </a>was in charge of the sports displays.<br />
<br />
Most of our Mini Company groups now have their businesses up and running, selling their products. Click <a href="http://laurastyexperience.blogspot.ie/2013/11/mini-company-blossoms.html" target="_blank">here</a> to find out about Laura's Mini Company group Candy Blossom.<br />
<br />
We have been on a few trips this week and had a little bit too much McDonalds and Starbucks. We went to a talk in Tallaght IT for Science Week, see what <a href="http://sorchaty.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Sorcha</a> and <a href="http://rebeccawill98.blogspot.ie/2013/11/science-week.html" target="_blank">Rebecca</a> thought of the talk. We also went into town for a W.B Yeats themed trip, which we all enjoyed. <a href="http://wosserty.blogspot.ie/2013/11/a-trip-to-dublin.html" target="_blank">Aoife</a> and <a href="http://lauraslifety.blogspot.ie/2013/11/trip-around-dublin.html" target="_blank">Laura</a> wrote about the trip.<br />
<br />
We have also started doing Zumba during our PE classes and it is great to see everyone dancing, click <a href="http://karensweirdty.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">here</a> to find out what Karen thinks.<br />
<br />
A lot of TY's have decided to get involved with our school Musical <a href="http://swcalamityjane.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Calamity Jane</a> and have been busy with the acting, singing, dancing, production team, etc.<br />
<br />

Darren has worked with students all over the world. He helps young people to connect with their peers, both locally and internationally,to help work for a more just, equal and peaceful world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
We are taking part in a project they are running called </span>Global Citizens Network 2013-2014. This is <span style="font-family: inherit;">a network of schools in Ireland and it also includes other schools around the world. </span>There are two main stages to this program the Research Stage and the Campaign Stage. <span style="font-family: inherit;"> We will be learning from each other and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">discussing different key themes in the world. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our class </span>has started t<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">he Research Stage. D</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">uring this each school group shall research, reflect and debate key local-global themes. We have</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> been coming up with a theme that we will be researching. First of all we put our ideas forward and we wrote the top 7 ideas on sheets of paper. We got into groups and went around the classroom writing down what we know and what we would like to know about each theme. In the end</span> everyone agreed with the<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>overarching question that we <span style="font-family: inherit;">came up. It is: "Is the world child friendly?".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
We will be getting into groups and researching the life of children all over the world from different points of view like education, gender, conflict, etc.. In the end we will answer the question from all these aspects of a child's life, discovering where in our world is the most child friendly. </span> When we have finished this we plan on developing a “mini-NGO” type campaign.<br />

<a name='more'></a>My class dressed up as minions from Despicable Me! And Ms Mc M dressed up as Gru. It was a great laugh! The song we chose was Wanna be by the Spice Girls. It went better than I expected. :) All the years seemed to have a great day a lot of effort was put in by all years and lucky us there was no rain! Some of the teachers seemed to enjoy it more with their dancing! Overall fantastic day. :)<br />

Of course, anyone who wasn't at our <a href="http://positiveparties.com/" target="_blank">Positive Party</a> on Wednesday<br />
would think I'm an absolute lunatic right now (and I apologize if this<br />
applies to you) but any of the girls who were there will know exactly<br />
what I'm on about!<br />
<br />
The Positive Party is exactly what it sounds like - we wore hula necklaces,<br />
ate sweets, sang and just had a really positive day. We talked about our<br />
happiest memories and learned how to channel those memories when<br />
we're <span style="line-height: 1.4;">feeling upset.</span><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/V2sKH8yjVsM" style="line-height: 1.4; text-align: center;" width="420"></iframe></div>

<span style="line-height: 1.4; text-align: center;">I'm pretty sure this sums up how everyone felt at the party!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
It was so much fun - we made so many great memories and we really<br />
had a genuinely good time; everyone came out with big smiles on their<br />
faces, in a brilliant mood!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">After the Positive Party, a speaker talked to us about confidence, </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">different personality types, and how to go after our dreams. It may </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">not have been as exciting and fun as the party, but he gave us some </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">good tips and I came out of the room feeling a little more confident.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">After lunch we learned how to give massages - my partner was </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">Laura and oh my god, if you ever need a massage she is definitely </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">the person to go to! I felt so relaxed afterwards, she is the best. It </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">was a great experience to learn how to do that, I'm really glad I got</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">the opportunity!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All in all, Wednesday was a brilliant day and I cant wait for the next<br />
workshop!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went in on the first day, not really knowing where to go. Everyone else had settled in already as TY's are the last to go back after summer. We had an assembly and I waited nervously to find out who was in my class and thankfully, I am really happy with my class group, Tabei. It also helped that it was the slightly easier class to pronounce... I still don't think I'm pronouncing Tereshkova right. Our classes were named after famous women who have made great accomplishments, for example, Junko Tabei is </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">a Japanese mountain climber who became the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">first woman to climb Mount Everest in 1975.</span><br />

<br />
TY's return to school on Thursday 29th August. Work experience is on each Wednesday this year again but it will not start until Wednesday 2nd October. In September they will have workshops on each Wednesday to prepare for work experience.<br />
<br />
They will have 3 workshops on September 4th - Personal Development, Positivity, and Massage.<br />
September 11th is Junior Cert results day.<br />
Another 3 workshops on September 18th - Stress Management, Etiquette, and Building rapport.<br />
Three more workshops on September 25th - Dressing for work experience, Assertiveness, and a work experience workshop from Mr Corcoran and Ms Hughes.<br />
<br />
Mini Company, Young Scientist, F1 in Schools, and lots of other projects will be started but probably the most anticipated trip will be our bonding trip to Carlingford Adventure Centre on 16th and 17th September. We will leave the school at 7am on the Monday and return by 7pm on the Tuesday - exhausted but happy.<br />
<br />
I think September will be a busy month!<br />

All three classes learnt the song, moves, and harmonies in separate Music classes. They only had one day to sing it together before they performed it at TY Night. I think they did a great job.<br />

They have to record, produce, and publish a video of between 1 - 3 minutes long. The use of software and topic can be their own choice.<br />
<br />
There was some excitement when the assignment was given, and some great ideas were discussed. There was talk of doing Forrest Gump in one minute, a Wolstan's Crib in an MTV Cribs style, a profile of our winning Camogie Team, a video on the upcoming Gaisce hike, and some will even make short videos for our Music Rooms collaborative project with St Scholastica's College in Sydney, Australia.<br />
<br />
To help I have created a YouTube Playlist for using Windows Live Movie Maker which is the programme on the computers at school. If students wish to use any other programme they are free to do so.<br />
<br />
Here is the first video in the Playlist.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I also found another site with lots of very useful Windows Live tutorials called <a href="http://www.mahalo.com/learn-windows-7-windows-live-essentials/" target="_blank">Mahalo.com. </a><br />
<br />
Good luck TY, I am looking forward to your movies.<br />
