Wipeout the Burnout is a project to promote awareness of burnout in sport . As a group of 14 transition year lads (Luke O Sullivan, Conor O Sullivan, Aed O Shea, Jack Shea, Joseph Sheehan, Alan O Donoghue, Conall Kane, Patrick Daly, Cillian O Shea, Rory O Driscoll, Eoghan Power, Cormac Whelhan, Andrew Murphy and Andre Brouges) all playing GAA for their local teams. We see the devastation around the county from young players our own age suffering from serious injury . We see players burning out due to the work load being too much. Our main aim is to promote proper strategies for managers for dealing with the issue. We also have got in touch with some inter-county players with serious injury such as Colm o Neill,Ruairi Deane, Colm Cooper, and Brian Corkery.
Disability Accessibility is a group made up of nine Transition Year Students Darragh Crowley, Conor McQuaid, Ciara Crowley, Eimear O’Neill, Ciara O’Sullivan, Brian Collins, Matthew Martin Sullivan, Tommy O’Sullivan and Simon Harrison.The main purpose of our project is to help improve accessibility for all, but in particular we hope to help improve accessibility for those who may have physical disabilities. We aim to carry out a number of surveys and projects to increase our knowledge about wheelchair use as well as organise a number of exciting events to raise awareness in our local community.
Feel Good Fitness 'Live Good, Feel Good' are Raising Awareness and Promoting the Importance of a healthy lifestyle for teenage girls. There are six girls involved in this group project, Karen Crowley, Shauna Doellken O’Shea, Mary-Kate Harrington, Amy O’Sullivan, Clodagh O’Sullivan and Natasha Lyne. They aimed to raise awareness on the declining rate of teenage girls involved in any forms of exercise when they enter secondary school, and to promote a fun, fit, and healthy lifestyle for teenage girls today. They wanted to help make a change in teenage girl’s lives for the better, so we decided to brainstorm a variety of ways which would get girls in our school interested in getting fit and healthy. Throughout our projectthey organised many activities, events and promoted the aims of the project by holding classes run by ourselves over the course of six weeks. Each week consisted of a different sport/activity such as Zumba, fit-walking, gymnastics, basketball and more which made our classes really enjoyable. They also have partnered up with Achilles Men Shed and different businesses for sponsorship to refurbish our outdoor facilities.
Are you my type? Cian O’Shea, Micheal O’Driscoll, Ciara Hanley, Siomhriabh Murphy, Danielle Murphy, Denise O’Sullivan Jack O’ Sullivan, Oisin Murphy, Paudie O Leary , Brendan Duggan and Andrew O’ Neill set out to learn about blood and blood donation in Ireland and around the world. We want to change attitudes and improve knowledge in the community of blood and blood donation. We are raising awareness and knowledge of the eight blood types and creating materials for schools.Our ultimate aim is to organise a blood donation clinic for Beara by encouraging local people to donate blood regularly. We are currently collecting the names of 200 possible donors – a criteria set by the IBTS in order to have a donor clinic in Beara – the first in over 10 years. We would like to see changes in legislation and recommendations to ensure all personal identification would carry blood type information in the future and we will be making such recommendations to the relevant ministers and Oireachtas committees .
A Step in the Right Direction (Meidhbhe Harrington, Debbie Power, Muireann Murphy, Kevin Dwyer, Eoghan Hurley, Yvonne Harrington, Ciara O’Brien, Danielle Kelly, Keelan Lynch and Megan O’ Driscoll) set out to promote good posture, foot care and proper shoe choice. We looked at the foot health of teenagers today to determine how many students have issues with their feet, and what are the issues. We investigated the link between good posture and shoe choice. We analysed what percentage of students wear orthotics, shoe supports etc. and/or attend medical practitioners/clinics for their feet or posture. We hope to bring about a cultural change in schools and with employers around promoting good posture.
Sing a Song Soothe the Soul (Robin Clancy, Rachel O’Sullivan, Orla Harrington, Una Hegarty, Aine Fenner, and Bryony Van den Berg) hope to raise awareness about the way in which music and singing can affect your health. They aim to help people understand the way in which different types of music can have different effects on their mood. The team is made up of six Transition Year girls, all of who have a keen interest in music and singing. They want to educate their peers and society on the positive effects music has on health, and raising awareness about how you can use music as a tool to deal with depression, stress and anxiety. We hope to make recommendations to our school on how beneficial music is, to organise regular music events to facilitate students sharing their music abilities.
