C3 Trip to Dublin Zoo

For their CSPE Action Project, students in C3 along with their CSPE teacher organized a visit to Dublin Zoo to raise awareness about animal conservation and their chosen animal, the red panda. They actively participated in the ' Zooardship’ programme and learned about how they can be better stewards of our planet, by recycling, using less plastics and not wasting food. They took part in a photo workshop, where they had to decide if various photos showed examples of good or bad treatment of animals, and debated whether or not zoos were better for animals than the wild or nature reserves. Then the class visited the zoo's two red pandas, Jasmine and Brunei. The students learned about the threats their species face such as poaching and habitat loss, and how raising awareness can help to protect them. Finally the girls spent an hour visiting the zoo's other inhabitants, including the elephants, giraffes and sea lions. Overall the visit to Dublin was a living classroom experience brimming with valuable experiences. A great day was had by students in C3.

1st Year

Well done to all 1st Years (and parents!) for navigating the first month of secondary school! Today the girls attended the Bin It workshop focussing on social responsibility. It is also Study Skills Week in OLS. The theme for 1st Years is organisation and to get the girls thinking about it, the 1st Year team presented the students with their own pack (see photos) on Friday. We look forward to meeting parents of 1st Years tomorrow evening, Tuesday, at 7pm in the GPA for some introductions, information and a quick cuppa.
