Skibbereen Community School welcomed Dr. Karen Weekes to give a talk on resilience, goal setting and positive mindset.

She gave a fascinating lecture on her Atlantic Solo Rowing voyage last year to all TY students and members of Skibb Rowing Club. She also gave plenty of mindfulness tips. What an inspirational person to have talk to our students.

Pictured with Ms. Weekes are teachers Mr. Ritchie Keating (Skibb Rowing Coach), Mr. Mick Murphy, Mr. Conor Uhl and Principal, Mr. Anton O’Mahony and Ms. Elaine Dennehy of MTU.

Many thanks to Ms. Dennehy for organising the event and Dr. Weekes for her talk.
