Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion

Mr. Darragh Rawson:

I am sport crazy at the moment. I play a lot of sport in the school. It is a breath of fresh air every now and then. Annie and I have physical education on a Tuesday. It is one hour when we can relax and not worry about whether we got the homework done, if we studied enough or if we will pass a test. As she said, we have only been in fifth year for a few months. We have been handed two Sraith Pictiúr to learn and Hamlet to read. The physical education part opens one's eyes. It allows one to relax and have a bit of craic, to enjoy oneself and play sport. We play all sports. We might play dodgeball, soccer, football, hockey or whatever else we feel like on the day. Everyone gets a share of what they enjoy.
