Transition Year (TY) classes 4A, and 4D are actively progressing in their Wellbeing “Desk to 5km” with Mr Éamonn Cashin. This physical and mental health initiative is designed to help students transition smoothly from classroom learning to achieving a 5-kilometre milestone. The Core Programme Benefits are:
1. Physical Health: Combines structured walking and various exercises to steadily build cardiovascular fitness and stamina,
2. Mental Wellbeing: Reduces stress, and boosts concentration
3. Social Connection: Encourages teamwork and positive peer interactions. The programme aligns directly with the school’s ongoing commitment to active student lifetstyles, such as the Friary’s current participation in the Waterford Sports Partnership and Waterford City and County Council “Stride to School” campaign since 2025.

Cliona’s Foundation visited our TY students and provided an inspiring presentation on supporting children with cancer and their families. Students learned about the Foundation’s work, the challenges families face and the supports available. They also heard about the opportunity for TY students to take part in a Camino walk with Cliona’s Foundation, promoting friendship, resilience, fundraising and personal development.

A visit from two members of An Garda Síochána from Dungarvan Station was welcomed and provided TY students with a valuable awareness of cyberbullying, online harassment and Coco’s Law. The presentation encouraged students to use social media responsibly, understand the consequences of harmful online behaviour, recognise their rights, and know where to seek help and support if difficulties arise.
