Meitheal

Meitheal

NAPD Region 5 has a proud tradition of facilitating an annual 'overnight' which usually takes place in mid June.  

The event aims to provide members with a short but effective 'breather' from the rigours of the daily responsibilities to focus on a well-being session (generally on the Friday evening) and another topical subject which needs to be addressed in the near future (half day on Saturday to lunch-time).

A very nice aspect of this overnight event involves both the NAPD Director and President being in attendance to meet members and discuss both on a social and education relevant basis.  
This event has gone from strength to strength since it was first initiated by Region 5

Between 20 and 30 Members attend each year, and it is always very beneficial for newly appointed Principals and Deputy Principals to attend.  

A flavour of the topics that are covered is outlined below;
