Thursday 19th of April at 9am, George Walsh - AIB Dungarvan Branch Manager along with bank staff members Sophie and Clodagh visited our TY students. The girls gave a very informative presentation. They chatted about online fraud and how to recognise and avoid phishing scams. They talked about money mules.
A money mule is a person who transfers illegally obtained money between different payment accounts, very often in different countries, on behalf of others. These are very real issues in the bank and they spoke about the importance of reporting if you spot unusual activity in your account. As the majority of our TYs have there bank accounts set up they were able to engage and pose questions to the bank staff. George Walsh a past pupil of the Friary went down memory lane with the students of his days as a student in TY. He chatted to them about the varied careers that AIB offer. He also spoke about the importance of teamwork, communication and motivation in the workplace be it during work placement or a Summer Job. He said examples of these skills are what shine through at an interview. Many thanks to AIB for discussing financial life skills with our TYs.

Munster Junior B Cup Final
Rockwell College 1
St. Augustine’s College 0
Heartbreak for our girls as we lost out by a single goal in what was a game fit for a final. The standard of hockey from both teams was exceptional in a tense and thrilling match in Rockwell today.
The first chance of the game came when Siun Kiely squared a ball to the unmarked Eva Hogan but unfortunately it was read by the Rockwell keeper who managed to clear. Soon after Siun found herself unmarked and through on goal only to be denied by the on form keeper.
Rockwell’s best chances of the half came from two short corners which our defence dealt with comfortably as Sarah Gaffney’s pace ensured Rockwell couldn’t get their shot off.
So at halftime it was 0-0 and our girls felt they had more to give.
We got on top in the second half and started to apply more pressure but disaster struck as a long hopeful ball was played by the Rockwell defence and managed to evade the entire midfield before arriving at an unmarked Rockwell forward, Cashel our keeper brilliantly saved the first attempt but somehow the ball managed to squirm past her and was tapped in by a Rockwell player.
This fuelled a response from the Friary team and they played their hearts out creating numerous chances, twice finding the back of the net but both attempts were ruled out.
They eventually ran out of time to snatch the equaliser but each player can hold their heads high and know that we couldn’t be prouder of them as players and ambassadors for the school.
Fortunately they will get the chance to end the season with silverware as they contest the South Munster League Final at home on Tuesday April 25th.

The correct uniform is to be worn at all times during school.
- Green jumper

On match days and days when students have PE. They should arrive to school in full uniform and bring their gear with them. (As page 6 of our code of conduct)
We are also going to trial an optional summer black polo shirt for the final term. (Plain No logos - stripes etc). This does not have to be worn and students may continue in the uniform.

What an amazing day!!!!!! Starting with pulling back the curtains to reveal the view of Home of the GAA, Croke Park has been at the heart of Irish sporting life for over a hundred years. We enjoyed breakfast at 7.45am and then made our way across the road to the Hogan Suite to register and set up our stand. Once all 40 schools set up their stands we were brought to a room where last years winners of the calves were honoured and Holy Rosary College, Mountbellew, were crowned overall winners of the 2023 Certified Irish Angus School's Competition sponsored by ABP and Kepak. Then it was promptly back to this years competition where everyone took their positions and were visited by a minimum of 5 judges. They certainly put our girls through their paces but no bother to Lisa and Sarah they were well prepared to answer questions that came their way. Well done to Ms McGann for mentoring the students. The girls gave it their best and represented their school and county in the best possible way. We now wait with bated breath for 3 weeks before the 5 schools to receive 5 Angus calves is announced. Fingers crossed & many thanks to Ms Buckley for driving the girls to Dublin.
