Students at St. Joseph's National School in Mulhussey enjoyed a fun and educational morning recently, thanks to a special visit from Glenveagh. Peter Morgan from the Health and Safety team delivered an interactive talk focused around site safety to the school’s pupils.
The students learned about the importance of safety on construction sites in a way that was both age-appropriate and memorable. They were shown what personal protective equipment (PPE) looks like, including hard hats, high-visibility jackets, gloves and safety boots, and learned why these items are essential for keeping construction workers safe.
The pupils were also encouraged to ask questions, with many showing enthusiasm and curiosity about how buildings are made and what safety measures workers must follow each day.
Glenveagh’s visit was warmly received by both staff and students, with teachers praising the initiative for making safety education fun and engaging. It’s another example of how meaningful collaboration between schools and industry can help lay strong foundations — not just for future homes, but for the next generation’s awareness and wellbeing.
A special thanks to the staff of St. Joseph's National School for the warm welcome, and to the students for their curiosity throughout the session.
