Primary Schools
Our primary school talk and fundraising activities work in conjunction with the Social Personal and Health Education (SPHE) module.
- Strand: Myself and the Wider World
- Strand Unit: Developing Citizenship (living in the local community)
- Identifying those who have special responsibility for looking after people in the community (like the doctors, nurses and other medical and care professionals who work in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin and the National Children’s Research Centre) and recognising the importance of each individual’s contribution to community life (through fundraising, for example).
