Settling into first year is a daunting task. In first year SPHE we aim to help students through this tricky change. The students have had the opportunity to take part in discussions and activities that deal with the idea of change and to learn coping techniques. They have explored the language of emotions and how to express themselves. The topic of bullying has also been discussed in class and in the ‘Bully 4 U’ talk received in October. Halloween party and stay safe tips saw the end of the first half of term one. Study aids, plans and self-management, as well as communication brought us to the end of the term. Well done to all the girls in first year for their enthusiasm.
