Well done to our two TY teams, who won both debating challenges, in TU Dubln this week. One team had to oppose the motion "Climate activists must stop eating meat" while the other team successfully supported the motion "charities should stop using celebrity ambassadors". A big thanks to Concern and TU Dublin staff, for organising the debates and to their teachers Ms. Cooney, Ms. Barry and Ms. Harte, for preparing the students for them. 

Don't forget , our Halloween Disco will take place tomorrow at 1 o Clock in our school hall, lots of prizes for best dress are up for grabs, so make sure to get the facepaint out and get ready to scare. 

Entrance into the Disco is €2 per student with all proceeds going to Pieta House.

As part of our JCSP Literacy initiative and to tie in with our DEIS goals, our junior students enjoyed a trip to The Lighthouse cinema. Students watched the Halloween classic with subtitles to support literacy, and some classes are engaging in pre and post-worksheet activities related to the film as well as the below competition.

Junior students, here's a chance to win a €20 cinema voucher in our competition!️ 

Write a brief review of either "Hocus Pocus" or your recent cinema trip ‍️️

Thanks to The Lighthouse cinema for hosting us today and to JCSP Librarian, Siobhain for organising the trip.
