Computer Course in Quarryvale FRC
Last Wednesday the 28th of March saw the end of the computer class which our members Teresa and Liam have been attending for the last 6 weeks.

There is hopefully a follow-on course taking place in the future and our guys can’t wait to continue on with their studies!!!!
Collins Barracks Trip 2018
On Tuesday 27th March a group of our members accompanied by staff Laura and Mark hopped on the LUAS into town and went to visit the National History Museum situated in the old Collins Military Barracks. It was a very enjoyable experience, the museum covers all aspects of historical times up to and including a large installation on Irish Military History throughout the ages. It is well worth a visit and all our members really enjoyed the day with some vowing to return in the future.

Mindfulness Art
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts,feelings,bodily sensations and surrounding environment by doing gentle breathing exercises.
One of our placement students facilitated the Mindfulness Art class yesterday. It was completely new to us and a great learning curve for us. We start off by closing our eyes and doing gentle breathing exercises to get ourselves into the now. We each have a piece of paper on front of us to write down our feelings or draw whatever comes into our mind.
