Greystones Community College Jigsaw One Good School Committee is Growing!
Following Greystones Community College's success last year in their application to become a Jigsaw Youth Mental Health One Good School, the One Good School Committee is growing to facilitate the deeper work underway in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the school's young people, and those around them. In August, staff undertook an interactive workshop, steered by Ms Victoria Hamilton, examining how they can be 'One Good Adult' for their students. With ambitious plans for the school year ahead, the One Good School Committee's work is already in full flow and the team of student and staff volunteers continues to grow and to spread good mental health, wellbeing and happiness all around the school!
