Our wellbeing week kicked off today with a series of walks along the Greenway for different classes, games including badminton & in RE students enjoyed some fun quizzes and games also. 
Day 1
A cook off took place during lunch time in the Home Ec room where Mr Keeney and Mr Higgins were given some surprise ingredients and both teachers had to make a quick nutritious meal. Thank you to our sous chef’s Rose Gannon & Hannah Morgan who assisted the head chefs in action, to our judges Ms Mannion, Mr Duignan & 3rd yrs Ella Adams & Chloe Maguire. It was a tough decision in choosing the winner.
Congrats to Mr Keeney who was the winner and retains his title as BCS Masterchef for another year. Both Mr Higgin’s Chicken Fried Rice dish & Mr Keeneys Creamy Tomato Pasta dish went down a treat with students who got to sample them afterwards. 
Don’t forget to wear your bright colours in tomorrow for our non uniform day for our Mental Health Awareness Day. Lots more fun in store tomorrow so check back here for an update on all

Day 3 Students participated in cancer awareness workshops today. Thank you to Lisa Convey and Martin McHugh who spoke to senior students on the topic. It was really informative. TYs enjoyed Kayaking. Students enjoyed a ‘Drop everything and read’ class and there was a great crowd in the gym to watch the much anticipated Teacher V Student Volleyball Game at lunch. Congrats to the students on their win…for this year. 
Day 4 and 5
Our wellbeing week concluded with BCS Olympics Sports Day, which was highly enjoyed by all the students & staff. Thanks to Ms Stenson for organising this fun event and to Mr Nolan our wellbeing coordinator for planning a brilliant week of activities. Check out our next post for a highlights video of the day. 
Seniors also had a great talk from Tony O’Reilly who delivered a gambling addiction workshop today. The workshop was centred around Tony’s lived experience of a severe gambling addiction that spanned nearly a decade. It was a highly interactive workshop and such an important conversation shedding light on the dangers of gambling in modern Irish society.
