We are excited to introduce our new PE uniform!

 

Our school community has been involved in sorting through various options and designs and I'm sure you will agree that our new uniform looks excellent.  

The PE uniform will be phased in with our incoming 1st years. Should girls in other year groups wish to buy and wear the new PE uniform on the days that they have PE, they will be able to do so.

Le Chéile Day
Created : 31 Mar 2023, 12:00 PM

Today we marked Le Cheile day and our house system, which fosters a sense of belonging by having a crazy hair day and by giving a lollipop to each person in our school.
 
The junior captains and vice captains delivered lollipops to each classroom and two of our first years said the Le Cheile prayer in English and Irish over the intercom. We also lit a candle to St Dominic in our foyer.
 
 
Well done and thank you to all involved!
