Zeus has teamed up with  St. Joseph’s N.S. School in Fermoy, Cork, to create a new, exciting learning space for students. This collaboration underscores Zeus’s dedication to corporate responsibility and helping to make a positive impact on communities.

Introducing the “Zen Den”

The school’s collaboration with Zeus will fund the creation of an innovative learning resource at the primary school called the “Zen Den.” This versatile space will serve multiple purposes: enhancing break times with a relaxing and engaging environment and providing a dedicated room where students can interact with their peers while developing essential learning skills. The Zen Den aims to foster creativity, problem-solving, and effective communication in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Additionally, this space will be used for various educational activities designed to encourage critical thinking and collaborative learning, ultimately helping students to thrive both academically and personally. 

 

Creative Collaboration

Assistant Principal Colm Barry and his class brainstormed and devised a creative name for the room, wanting to incorporate an element of Zeus. Colm’s role at the school centers on physical education and well-being, aligning perfectly with the project’s focus and crucial within any school environment.

Geraldine Burke, St. Joseph’s School Principal shared her enthusiasm for the project 
“Research highlights the positive link between enjoyable learning experiences and long-term memory retention. Students thrive when learning is associated with positive emotions, reducing stress and anxiety. The Zen Den will embody these principles, providing relevant and enjoyable educational experiences. Thanks to Zeus, we can bring our vision to life and make a lasting impact on our students’ education.”

Brian O’Sullivan, Owner and Founder of Zeus expressed his excitement about the project, stating, “At Zeus, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. We are thrilled to partner with St. Joseph’s N.S. to create this valuable resource – a space that will inspire children and allow them to shine, learning skills to succeed in school and beyond.”

 

A Significant Step Forward

The inspiring collaboration between St. Joseph’s N.S. and Zeus marks a significant step towards ensuring that every student has the tools and support needed to excel both academically and personally.
