Congratulations to Aidan Gilroy in 3rd Year who took home gold at the International Boxing Tournament in Olaine, Latvia last weekend. Aidan beat his Latvian opponent in the semi-final and defeated the Estonian National Champion in the final to win the gold medal.

Aidan is part of Fr. Flanagan's Boxing Club where he started boxing at the age of seven. He is now on the Leinster Development Boxing Team that travelled to Latvia at the weekend.

Well done on this great achievement Aidan and best of luck in the upcoming Michael Andrews Competition for Dublin and Leinster.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The Rosary Hub takes place at lunchtime every Thursday from 1:30 to 1:45 in Room 1/26 (music room) for all the school community; both students and staff.

The Rosary is a type of meditative prayer which can help ease anxiety, irregular sleep patterns and increase empathy towards others. 

The Rosary is a very powerful form of prayer and not only helps with any personal struggles but also collectively praying the rosary can be very powerful in bringing about peace in our times. It can also ease any suffering for those of our loved ones who are close to us in times of sickness and trial.

All are welcome!

Ms. McCabe
