        <description><![CDATA[Our U16 (Junior) footballers made it two wins from two this afternoon with an impressive performance, running out winners on a scoreline of 7-12 to 3-05 in the Prairie. Building on their opening success, Salerno showed clear sharpness in attack and strong work rate across the field, with goals proving the difference as they pulled away in the second half.

This performance coupled with strong showings from Orna Dunne, Elizabeth Mannion, Cara Cleary, Sarah Ruane and substitute Juliette Reidy ensured the girls maintained their flawless record.

        <title>Eye Health for students</title>
        <description><![CDATA[Below is a summary of best practice for screen use from our local optician:The majority of people have greatly increased our screen/device use and that&amp;rsquo;s unfortunately having a negative effect on their eyes.Increased screen use can cause the following:1) Dry eyes.We blink much less when using screens, so we are not producing enough tears to keep our eyes comfortable and moist.&amp;nbsp;Every time you blink with a dry eye it&amp;rsquo;s like scraping a dry windscreen.If we keep our eyes moist they will look, feel and perform better.Dry eyes can feel scratchy, burny, itchy, scaldy or just tired.&amp;nbsp;Dry eyes can also look pink and irritated.Blinking more frequently can help. When using screens our blink rate falls by up to 80%.Over the counter preservative free eye drops are fantastic at alleviating dry eyes symptoms. Use them 2-3 times a day and your eyes will thank you.Drinking more water and increasing omega 3 can also help.2) Eye fatigue.Excessive use of our eyes for near visual tasks]]></description>

        <title>Positive Psychology</title>
        <description><![CDATA[We understand that parents are dealing with so many new challenges and changes due to the Covid 19 crisis. Between juggling the demands of home-schooling, working from home and looking after everybody else&amp;rsquo;s needs, self-care so often goes to the bottom of our lists. Yet it has never been more important to prioritise well-being and discover ways to nurture our resilience. The field of Positive Psychology (the science of well-being) can offer parents many skills and strategies to help to develop the resilience needed at this time, so that we feel strong and equipped to face current challenges. This webinar will present practical ideas and suggestions for self-care and wellness from the field of Positive Psychology.]]></description>
