Super buzz and a very warm welcome from everyone.

Thank you also to Ms Mathews for embracing the PALS Programme every year with her TY students. She rocks!

Empower Your Life: Mastering Positive Assertive Skills Written by Lucy Myers, TY Journalist For 80 minutes, on either Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th November 2024, all TY base classes had a PALS (Positive Assertive Life Skills) workshop. The workshop was facilitated by Bee Flanagan who came in with a bright smile and positive attitude. PALS Programme In this workshop, Bee encouraged all of the TYs to be the best version of themselves. From encouraging the TYs to stand up and shake the negativity off of them, to sharing with TYs heartfelt moments from her own life. Bee told us on the day of her first ever Ted Talk, things were not going well for her. She was anxious. She shares how she couldn’t stop thinking about messing up. Right before the talk, she got a call that a close family member was unwell. Despite all of this, Bee found her courage to stand up on stage and present herself, even if it was difficult. This story inspires us all to be the best version of ourselves, so that no matter what happens we can still be brave and confident. These days, Bee is more confident and speaks positively to herself. It is hard not to be positive around Bee as she is just the type of person who makes you feel good about yourself. It took for her children a while to realise Bee's positive outlook on life was the way forward. Bee shares her confidence with the room and left the TYs feeling empowered and better in themselves. Bee is an example of confidence, an example of somebody living their best they can. Bee has many roles including Accredited Master Coach, Teen Coach, Peace Commissioner, Motivational Speaker and Trainer! Bee was delighted to see some junior students in ACS who she worked with in their school in 6th class! Thanks again to Ms Mathews for bringing PALS™️ into the TY students again this year 🐝 Thanks so much to Bee for coming to ACS - she was an absolute delight. Also huge thanks to Bee for the brilliant video also. Video credit @pals_programme

Looking forward to returning to tomorrow for Week One of Workshops for 6th class students. Gratitude journals are ready for the students to design their personalised covers and get ready to create their very own class Kindness Code.
Looking forward to going back to school 😀🐝

Good afternoon everyone,

I am delighted to announce my first PALS Programme event for Parents taking place in The Venue on Thursday 24th October at 7.30pm.

I relaunched my Parents Talk - Embracing Positive Communication With Your Pr***en & Teenager - in January this year and the response from parents I have engaged with in schools to date has been very positive.

I wanted to bring my talk in to the wider community and hope to see you there on the night if -

🐝 You are a parent struggling to be seen beyond the screen?
🐝 Your children are chatting and socialising on TikTak or WhatsApp
🐝 You would like to learn ways to increase positive conversations face to face?

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual or guidebook and navigating the Teenage years certainly can be a daily rollercoaster!

Tickets are available here 👇

📞 Box office 01 689 5600

Tickets are €10 plus booking fee.

Looking forward to seeing you on the night.

Thank you
Bee

WHAT WILL BE WITH BEE

Another super morning with the final two groups of TY Students for the workshops.
We had a very active discussion about time management and how we spend our 168 hours - some surprising realisations for sure!

Thanks again to Ms Matthews for bringing PALS™️ in to the TY students again this year 🐝
