New Sensory Room and Chill-Out Zone

​✨ Transforming Our School: Help Us Build Our New Sensory Room & Chill-Out Zone! ✨

​Dear Parents and Carers,

​We have some incredibly exciting news to share! Inspired by the fantastic feedback from our School Council during Mental Health Week, we are officially creating a dedicated Sensory Room and Chill-Out Zone in school. This space will provide a vital, calming environment to support our pupils with their social and emotional regulation.

​Over the last week we have commissioned a specialist artist to create a stunning, custom ultraviolet forest mural that transforms the room into a magical, glowing sanctuary when the blacklights are on!

​Take a look at the incredible mural in the images below. 

​🌟 How You Can Help!

​Now that the artwork is finished, we need to fill the space with the sensory items, seating and calming tools that will bring it to life for our children.

​To make this happen, we have set up an Amazon Wishlist featuring various items chosen specifically to support emotional regulation, including soft seating, tactile toys and specialized lighting.

​If you would like to support this project and donate an item, you can view our wishlist here:

Every single donation, big or small, will directly impact our pupils' well-being and give them a safe space to reset when they need it most.

​Thank you so much to our School Council for the brilliant idea, and to our wonderful school community for your ongoing support in making St. Oliver Plunkett's a nurturing environment for every child.
