Learning Local S01E10: Online Safety, Help with CAO choices, Mindful learning, Backstage at a school play and Advice for 6th class pupils.

In the final episode of this series of Learning Local we celebrate Jessie Buckley’s big Oscar win by going backstage at St. Kieran’s College and Loreto Kilkenny’s recent joint production of Across the Barricades. We get details of a free, online cyber-safety & digital health talk. First years offer advice to 6th class students who may be starting to feel a little anxious about their transition to secondary school. We get tips that may help us to be more mindful as we learn and we hear about a website that provides help with CAO choices and picking subjects for Leaving Cert . With thanks, as always, to Kilkenny Carlow Education and Training Board.
