International Women's Day
Happy International Women's Day to our students, staff, and the entire school community. The school held its annual celebration in St. Joseph's Hall from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. We were delighted and inspired after hearing from Ailbhe Smyth and Niamh Byrne. Huge congratulations to Ailbhe, Niamh, and current student Alisha Weir on their induction onto the school's Wall of Inspiration.
Thank you to Ms. Donlon for organising the day! We are so lucky to be surrounded by dozens of inspirational women at OLS every day. See the first photo in the gallery.

World Book Day
Thursday marked World Book Day in Ireland and the UK. There were a few activities happening at the school library during the lunch period, including Book Speed Dating (where students had two minutes to assess a book and decide whether or not they wanted to take it out). Check out the second photo in the gallery! Students also had the chance to work on their entry for the World Book Day's National Book Token Competition. Details of which can be found here: https://www.worldbookday.com/competition/design-a-nbt/
Le Chéile Day
OLS celebrated Le Chéile Day today. Students wrote the name of someone they're grateful for on a petal-shaped piece of paper. The "petals" were arranged on a wall in the GPA to make a gorgeous mural (see photo gallery). Thank you Mr. O'Rourke and the Le Chéile students for your artistic skills!
Waste Free Wednesday
OLS held its first No Waste Wednesday today. Students and staff were urged to refrain from using plastic and single waste wrappings. Ms. Filaih's TY class designed their own newspapers from old class projects (see photo gallery).
World Book Day
Tomorrow (March 7) is World Book Day in Ireland and the UK. The library is running a Design Your Own Bookmark Competition. Students can stop by the library during Thursday's lunch period to work on their designs. The winner will receive a small prize. Additionally, their bookmark will be laminated and copies of it will be available to take at the library desk.
Our Lady’s School Parents' Council invites you to a Quiz Night on the evening of March 21st.
