Stand Up Awareness Week 15th – 19th November
This week (15th – 19th November) is Stand Up Awareness Week organised by BeLonG To. The aim of this week is to show support to members of the LGBTI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Intersex and other) community. Student wellbeing and feeling included in Naas CBS is of utmost importance to us all. Therefore, this year, we hope that the students and staff of Naas CBS can show their support by taking part in BeLonG To’s Stand Up Awareness Campaign.
Throughout the week in wellbeing classes there will be different aspects of Stand Up week taught as well as other activities students can get involved in. Friday, 19th November, is the national Rainbow Day for secondary schools in Ireland. Once again this year, BeLongTo is asking students and staff to #ComeIn Choose words that heal, not hurt.

1st Years – red
2nd Years – orange
3rd Years – Yellow
4th Years/Staff – green
