The Action

The class organised a Smiles in the Square Day which involved handing out stickers, face painting, a bake sale stand with smiley faces, and another class performed a Zumba routine. The students also organised a Jump for Joy photo competition.

They were hoping to bring the Jump for Joy exhibition to the local library and community and to display all the photos entered into the competition.

Research was carried out on various websites such as www.o2thinkbig.ie and www.headstrong.ie and the students attended a training day on what positive mental health is, in conjunction with the Think Big programme by O2.
