Treoir in BKC
Treoir means 'guidance' or instruction. Treoir is integral to the provision of Wellbeing in Ballymakenny College and is scheduled in accordance with the needs of our students and the characteristic spirit of the school. The allocated time for Treoir each morning has been identified as the cornerstone of our pastoral care system in our school and underpins the essence of wellbeing for our students. This time affords students an opportunity to build positive relationships and a sense of identity within the greater school community and provides a reliable ladder of referral for identifying and supporting students’ wellbeing.
