Mental Health

I have been thinking of writing this blog for a while and with it being Mental Health Week I figured now was as good a time as any. Mental health is becoming an increasingly talked about topic, and rightly so in my opinion. I’m not talking about mental illnesses which are medically diagnosed conditions but […]

We were absolutely delighted with the Forest School sessions provided by Awaken Adventures and led by Stephen. The four sessions were a transformative experience for our entire school, from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. The children were immediately captivated by the natural environment and Stephen's engaging approach. They developed essential life skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, and teamwork through a variety of fun and challenging activities. The focus on creative expression and wellbeing was evident in every session, fostering a sense of calm and joy among the students. We were particularly impressed with the "leave no trace" approach, which instilled a deep respect for nature and environmental responsibility in our young learners. The children returned from each session excited and eager to share their experiences, demonstrating the positive impact of Forest School on their overall development. We wholeheartedly recommend Awaken Adventures Forest School to any school seeking to provide unique and enriching outdoor learning opportunities for their students.

We recently took our U10 gaa team down for their end of year treat, and what a treat it was. Stephen was very easy to deal with for the booking, and on the day he and his team were great with our children. They explained everything very well and were great fun. The kids absolutely loved being out in the great outdoors. It was brilliant that it was so hands on. They could try everything from cutting bark, making a shelter and lighting a campfire themselves, under supervision of course. We all really enjoyed our day and I've never had as many parents texting to say what a great day their child had and that they are still talking about it. All in all an excellent day out, I would highly recommend.
