Ms Ann Piggott:

Somebody mentioned the idea of social bonding in school earlier. There used to be far more extra curricular activities in school in the past. Teachers are worn out with workloads, particularly due to junior certificate reform and then with Covid we have not had all of that. If workloads could be decreased in certain ways, there could be a focus on more activities, even just for students to feel good or to bond. It might be worth thinking about trying to bring back what we used to have in the great way it worked.
