Urshie Welcome Packs

On Friday 27 February during Year 7 L@unch, Year 7 students received an individualised gift from Year 8 2026 in the form of a Urshie Welcome Pack. The welcome packs were designed in Term 3 2025 by Year 7 as part of their project based learning in Year 7 L@unch. The aim of the task was to create a welcome pack for students that captured the charism of St Ursula’s and to assist new students in feeling a sense of belonging and shared identity. In the Urshie Welcome Packs, Year 7 students were given a personalised welcome letter, reflection/affirmation bookmark and a red reflection journal to assist in documenting their journey into secondary school. A huge thank you to Year 8 students Diana Karam and Mary Rose Semrani for helping present the Urshie Welcome Packs to Year 7, 2026. We hope that these individual packs can be a practical way of communicating how excited we are to have the new Year 7s join our college community.

As part of the Urshie Welcome Pack the students designed a ‘day in the life of’ short video. Please feel free to access the following link https://clickv.ie/w/fKl5 and view with your family.

Thank you, Year 8 2026 and the Year 7 L@unch Team
