Congratulations to our three Junior Teams who competed and placed in their respective debates in the UCD Junior schools competition last night.

Second year students Amelia Scallan and Evelyn Roche, Eve Byrne and Winni Chan placed first in their debates. Aoife Smith (3rd Year) and Alison Heeney (2nd Year) placed second in their room. 

DCU Mercy Superleague Team coached by our school coach, Mark Ingle, play UUJ in Loreto Foxrock at 2.30 this Sunday 30th October. This will be a great opportunity for our students and basketball players to watch high level basketball in their own sports hall. All Loreto Foxrock Students will be admitted to the game free of charge. 

Just a reminder that Evening Study will finish up this Thursday 27th October at 7.30pm for the Halloween break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday 7th November. 

Wishing everyone a well deserved rest

As our school community enjoys all the wonderful events of Readers and Writers Week, we are delighted to announce our first ever whole-school Loreto College Foxrock Reading Challenge.

As winners of the 'Readers for Life' School Award, we love to promote reading for pleasure in our school, with our parents and with the wider community.  

This year we have created a series of "reading prompts" which is attached as a PDF. We are inviting students, parents, school staff and the wider community who follow us on Twitter @WellReadFoxrock to get involved. 

You can share your reads with us on our Twitter account (@WellReadFoxrock) - we would love everyone to get involved and share the joy of reading for pleasure!

Happy Reading!

Your WellRead Committee 

TY English students are all participating in a Reading for Pleasure challenge this year as part of their English class. All the girls are aiming to read at least one book a month and are keeping a log of what they read. To mark Readers and Writers Week this week, we are attaching the Reading Prompts that have been given to all TYs. Now parents and siblings can join in the challenge by choosing prompts from the list.

Happy reading!
