Well done to Jennifer McCarthy in 2nd year who recently medaled & came in 10th from a field of 165 in the U15 Girls Cross Country Championships last weekend in Navan, Co. Meath.

Conditions were really tough on the day.

Jennifer also came 4th in Connacht against a very strong field. 

Well done Jennifer, great running. 

This year, 2nd Year student Deepta Suresh has taken part in 'Teen Turn', which is a charity program that provides girls an opportunity to experience hands-on STEM.

Deepta participated in the  STEM Inside Business Intelligence during midterm with BNY Mellon and Teen Turn. During this, she learned about interpreting data using Power Bi and Python.

The organisers very impressed by her efforts, and she won an award for a 'science selfie video competition'.

Well done Deepta and keep up the hard work!

Well done to our girls and to Ms. O Boyle for another fantastic contribution to the Shoe Box Appeal 2023.

The pictures are a combination of the advertising we completed, the packing of boxes by Ms. McNicholas' and Ms. O'Boyle's 6th Year RE classes, 4.2 and 4.3 working sorting and checking shoeboxes at the Race course and Kevin's delivery van full of the 156 complete Shoeboxes.

The items were donated items by the whole school community.

We also raised 500 euro for the shipping of the boxes with a cake sale in Rosary Hall.

The boxes (9036 in total for county Galway) are being shipped from the Racecourse on Wednesday to Burkino Faso, one of the poorest countries in West Africa.

Well done to all involved.

FYI Parents of relevant students:

As your Transition Year girls have done a coding workshop with us (https://www.codeplusireland.ie/), either this year or in the previous two years, I am writing to let you know of a webinar we are running specifically for parents/guardians on Monday Dec. 4th at 8 p.m.

Some parents may be interested in finding out more about careers in the tech industry, and the webinar will be of interest. 

The webinar will last about 40 minutes. Two women who work in the technology industry will speak about their school days, college life, career path and their present jobs.

There will be an opportunity for parents and guardians to ask questions of the speakers.

The link for parents to sign up to is https://forms.gle/RWR6A5kgmdRc8xyY8
