We had a superb sporting week this week!

A HUGE congratulations to our Senior Camogie team who are now Dublin A Champions. In the heavy rain, the girls put in a spectacular performance against Maynooth to win by a scoreline of 5-7 to 2-8. A massive thank you to our great supporters from 6th Year who braved the conditions to cheer them  on!

The TY students involved in Toastmasters had their showcase on Thursday night. A huge well done to all the students involved. They created and delivered wonderful speeches, evaluations and topic masters. We hope you learnt a lot during the 10 week course.

Today, our chaplain, Mr Sneyd, and the TY2s took part in a short reflective ceremony focusing on the light of hope as we near the end of the first week of Advent.

We would kindly ask parents to fill out the following survey as part of our school self evaluation process. Your responses provide us with a valuable insight on how to move forwards and improve the learning environment for our students. Click here

We are back to all our activities again this week after the exam/Work Experience window of last week!

The Senior 4 hockey team kicked off the action on Saturday with a 2-0 win in Mt Anville.

Congratulations to Xiang (1st Year), who won 1st Prize in the Kennedy Cup (U14 Piano) at the Kilcoole Music Festival last weekend.

The 2nd Year retreat was on Tuesday and the 5th Years are in action with theirs tomorrow.

We wish our Senior Camogie finalists the very best of luck tomorrow! 6th Year supporters need to ensure they have their bus money paid and the Away Sporting Fixtures permission form submitted (in the Forms section of the app).  Unfortunately, 5th Years cannot support at the match as there is a calendar clash with their retreat. Please note that only students who travel on the school supporters' bus may attend the match and will be under teacher supervision.

Please see attached letter from our canteen suppliers, Get Fresh, regarding a €3 annual card charge. Many thanks.
