Table Quiz

Our annual table quiz will take place on Friday 15th November in the Crossbarry Inn at 9pm. This is one of our biggest fundraising nights of the year and a great community event so we would love to see as many people as possible come along on the night. Round up your relatives, friends and neighbours – everyone is welcome! Its always an excellent night out!
*Don’t worry if you can’t make up a full team, come along anyway as there are always people looking to make up teams on the night*
Also we will be looking for spot prizes closer to the time so if you have any ideas or contacts for this please contact one of the committee members.

Farm Safety Message

The Health and Safety Authority has developed resources to give farm safety messages

to Primary students in 30 minutes. These are available at: <http://www.hsa.ie/education> under Teacher Supports and Resources.

These include a Farm Safety Presentation: “A set of seven PowerPoint slides” <http://hsa.ie/eng/Education/Teacher_Support_and_Classroom_Resources/Farm_Safety_Presentation_-_Primary/

On the Farm videos showcase child safety on the farm from the child’s own perspective.

In addition to this, the HSA’s dedicated e-learning portal – <http://www.hsalearning.ie> which contains a short interactive course for Primary students called “Keep Safe on the Farm” <https://hsalearning.ie/mod/page/view.php?id=39>

– 2 x 40 minute online lessons suitable for the whiteboard. A certificate can be for the class once complete.
