As we approach Christmas, we provide some suggestions that could enable you to make the most of the holiday period ahead. You plan for everything and now is the time that you learn to prioritise and plan for some “me time” over the holiday period. Other suggestions will follow with next week’s prompts. It also comes with a gentle reminder of how easy it is for conflict to escalate. Be aware of minor disagreements, tiredness and heightened emotions in both yourself and others. If things become difficult, the Leadership Support Team is here to help. Contact the Support Office on 021 4284070.
Renew your IPPN Membership by 20th December
We would like to remind you to renew your IPPN membership for the upcoming year. Please ensure that your membership form is submitted to the IPPN Support Office by 20th December to avoid any interruption in services.
Please note that if your school is not a member by 2nd January, several key supports and services will no longer be accessible.
