Tomorrow (Friday, 10th) we will celebrate Galentine's Day together in HFSS. A little early but we are breaking for mid-term break tomorrow too.The idea to do this comes from the SCR (Students Rep Council). No non-uniform day donation but please embrace our kindness theme by wearing PINK and/or RED. For G(V)alentine's Day on 14th February, why not do a kind deed for a good gal pal and keep sharing the kindness for each other as part of school family kindness.
Congratulations to 1st Years Saoirse Donnelly and Ali Gorman who won a Gold and Silver medal in The Golden Girls boxing competition in Sweden last weekend, representing Ireland with their boxing club Setanta Boxing Academy. The best of luck to them in the Leinster's this weekend.
