Welcome to Stand Up Week 2025!
This is the 16th National Stand Up Week (organised by BelongTo in association with the Department of Education and Youth & their sponsors) and the 4th in Our Lady of Mercy College, Beaumont.
We want to make our school a safe and welcoming place for all students and this is a week where we look at how we can help our LGBTQ+ friends and be a good Ally. This also supports the Bí Cineálta anti-bullying policy in the school.
The Inclusion, Diversity and Equality ALliance (IDEAL Club) have been busy planning many events – Friendship Bracelet Making, Short Film Showings, Poster Competition, Fact of the Day, Paper Chain of Kindness etc.
We will also be unveiling the club leaders board, which will be updated each year to celebrate our wonderful student leaders and all their hard work.
A playlist of LGBTQ+ Artists and Ally Artists has been made and is available here: SPOTIFY PLAYLIST
Full details of our events this week can be found in the attached pdf slideshow, as well as on the digital noticeboard and your year group google classroom page.
