Last Monday, our school had  a special visit from twins Caroline and Jane Blunden. Sharing with us their incredible experiences growing up in ‘the big house’ and on their five years of travelling the world, from the United States, Mexico, South America, Africa, Australia, India and Malaysia. The Blunden’s have given us a tremendous insight on their adventures and we were happy to have them visit and talk with us within the senior school.

Below is a picture of Shane & Aaron who invited the sisters in as part of their LCA Communications class.

Over the course of Exercise for Your Wellbeing Awareness Week (October 22nd-26th), LCA 1 students had made a tremendous contribution throughout this event. This event had begun with an information afternoon project taking place in the school hall. This covered a range of studies regarding the benefits of exercise, statistical studies and more. This was followed up by exercise classes taught by the LCA 1 pupils. These consisted of a gaelic football class (Kyle), circuit class (Aaron) and karate class (Shane).

Getting exercise is very good for your mental and physical health.

Getting good sleep is very good for nutrition.
