This week, TY students Erika, Chloe and Sarah were in TU Dublin, where they attended a podcasting workshop. The students got a lecture on communications and broadcasting and then had the opportunity to produce their own podcasts.  A big thank you to Ian Roller from TU Dublin for organising the workshop and to the staff involved, in delivering it. 

Parent/Guardian. As the current academic year is coming to an end, letters have been mailed to each student for school costs for 2023/2024. Many thanks

This week TY students visited BNY Mellon, where the staff there, mentored the students about their own career paths and give them useful tips on navigating their own career journeys. While the careers of some of the staff followed along a STEAM route (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics), others didn't, with students being encouraged to be open to change, learn from failure, pick something you like and keep learning new skills. A big thank you to all the staff of BNY Mellon, for giving so freely of their time on the day and to Elaine O' Brien Lynch and Emma Barrett from Junior Achievement Ireland (JAI), for organising the visit. 

Well done again to all the students who participated in our 24 hour Readathon.

Students raised €451.30 for The Lourdes Fund, this will enable some of our students to travel to Lourdes in September to volunteer with the Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage.

Beginning at 9am Friday to 9am Saturday, staff & students completed reading and/or reading activities such as bingo, movie with subtitles, massive table quiz, mini reading challenges, Karaoke and much more!!

TY students, with the help of Localise, recently organised a School Fashion Show. The students themselves modelled, as well as some of their teachers. Our guest models on the day were Ellen and Carmel from 'Friends of the Elderly' and they 'stole the show'. The aims of the fashion show, were to highlight fast fashion, climate justice, positive aging and encourage upcycling/ recycling of clothes. All clothes used, were from the 'Friends of the Elderly' charity shop 'Ritzy Rags'. A big thank you to Harry Keogh from Localise and their teacher Mr Daly, for organising the event. A big thank you also, to their Home Economics teacher Ms Cassidy, for the help with the clothes upcycling.
