PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWS (Ages: 5-12)

Wellbeing Specification (NCCA 2025) - new revised editions of OTB's two widely used whole-school well-being programmes, are now published:
- Welcome to Well-Being (Junior Infants to 1st Class)
- Weaving Well-Being (2nd Class to 6th Class)
All materials from previous editions of these well-being programmes remain available (Teacher Books, Digital Companion Pages and Pupil Activity Books - the revised Pupil Activity Books are largely unchanged and are suitable for the old and new frameworks)
Demand for Weaving Well‑Being and Welcome to Well‑Being pupil activity books is particularly high this year. Whether your school plans to begin the new Wellbeing Framework in September 2027 or continue with the existing SPHE Curriculum (1999), it is advisable to place pupil‑book orders with OTB or your local book supplier well in advance of the September return. Schools may request delivery for late August if that timing is preferred
