On 12th November, the 6th yr LCVP Class were delighted to welcome Winifred the amazing guide dog accompanied by 2 volunteers from the organisation. Anne and Anna, talked the students through a day in the life of a puppy raiser, the patience needed to train the dogs from 8 weeks to a year old and prepare them for their new homes as assistants to the visually impaired or families of children with autism. Winifred demonstrated her calm nature by obeying her trainer and allowing students to pet her. The students proudly presented the cheque with funds they raised by organising a murder mystery escape room activity. After weeks of organising this visit in, the 6th yr students have not only covered content for their Leaving Cert exam, but some have been inspired to offer their services in the future. A huge thank you to all those who volunteer to improve the lives of those in need of assistance.#www.irishguidedogs.ie
