Promoting Health & Wellbeing - stories from School

Presenters: Lorraine Dempsey, Enda McGorman & Rachel Harper

The importance of the wellbeing of all members of our school communities cannot be overstated and it is rightly a priority area of focus. During this session we will look at some practical things that are happening in schools to promote the wellbeing of different stakeholders in our schools. We will focus on:

• what school leaders can do and are doing to improve their own wellbeing
• what schools can do/are doing to promote staff wellbeing and
• what schools can do/are doing to promote the wellbeing of the children.

As a network of school leaders, there is much we can learn from each other and this session will give us the opportunity to pick up some practical tips or ideas that may be of use in our own schools and in our own lives.
