What is Meitheal?
The Meitheal Programme is an anti-bullying mentoring programme for students in secondary schools. Senior cycle students receive training to equip them with the skills to become mentors for incoming First Year students. It is a programme based on pro-respect within the school community, and one that enables students to take responsibility for the happiness of others and for the safety and well-being of all who share a school environment.
Our Meitheal Leaders are drawn from sixth year. They mentor our first year fulfilling a supporting role guiding them through their first year in Coláiste an Átha. The Meitheal programme is invaluable in giving the leaders experience of leadership and mentoring as well as providing positive role models for the first year students.
