A student leadership forum of our Student Council, Fifth Year Peer Mentors & Sixth Year Senior Prefects met with Mr Rolston, Deputy Principal, this morning for a workshop covering many areas of school life from a student perspective.

The team were updated on many exciting developments happening in our school and great insights were given by our student leaders on many areas of school life. It was a really powerful morning learning about leadership, responsibility, respect, student voice and influence.

Huge thanks to all our student leaders for attending this morning. We wish them all the very best in their work this year.

It was a morning of understandable nerves & excitement as our newest students began life in secondary school, with various bonding activities and tours of the building taking place.

A massive thanks to Ms Salley, School Completion programme coordinator, who organised the day, as well Ms O’Halloran & Ms Rice, Year Heads, our SNA team and our team of Peer Mentors and Student Council members who all helped out with the year group throughout the day.

We will see our First Years back in tomorrow, from 11.20am, for their start of year assembly, in the Sports Hall.

Great to see our students Teddy Doyle, Cian O’Neill and Tadhg Burke, amongst others, leading the way in campaigning for the repairs and expansion of Arklow Skatepark, for the benefit of the wider community, as reported in this week’s Wicklow People.

Teddy presented the group’s proposal at the July meeting of Arklow Municipal District, at the invitation of Cllr Peir Leonard Independent, Cathaoirleach.

Another fine example of Glenart College, Arklow students representing our ETB Core Values and showing great leadership in the local community. Well done everyone!
