Junior Cycle Wellbeing
Winning Wellbeing is a Junior Cycle publication that has been written to support the development of mental, emotional and physical wellbeing in students. It is also designed to help schools meet the 400-hour minimum requirement for Junior Cycle Wellbeing, which it does through a set of student-friendly lessons that cover topics different to CSPE, SPHE and PE.
Simple structure: A straightforward, consistent four-page structure in each lesson makes it easy to follow.
Achievable and flexible: The book is structured with the school calendar in mind. There are 28 short lessons – achievable within a class and within the school year.
Engaging: A strong emphasis on experiential learning and reflection will help students to develop wellbeing skills that they can take with them into later school and adult life.
Variety and choice: Every lesson offers a range of activities, so you can select the activities that are best suited to your class.
Teacher support: The lessons have been carefully written to support teachers of all experience levels to cover sometimes serious, always important topics.
Alignment to wellbeing indicators: The book is aligned to the six indicators of wellbeing: Active, Aware, Connected, Resilient, Respected, Responsible.
