First Year Business Studies Trip To The Central Bank
Created : 20 Apr 2018, 8:07 PM
Archived : 20 Jun 2018, 12:00 AM
On Thursday April 19, some of our first year Business Studies students got the wonderful opportunity of visiting The Central Bank in Dublin. Once there, the boys got an insight into the workings of the Central Bank; what it does, what it's responsible for and how it's run. This was followed up with a short video which even featured team 'Greenspan' from Summerhill, who won the Generation Euro competition last year! It was then onto looking around the exhibitions which included '75 Years of Change - The Story Of The Central Bank Of Ireland' and 'Pounds, Schillings & Independence'. The trip then continued onto Croke Park with a tour of the stadium which included sitting in the VIP area, getting a birds eye view from the media centre, sneaking a peak inside the dressing rooms and walking in the footsteps of Gaelic games legends as they go pitch-side through the players' tunnel! A great day was had by all.

CanSats are small ‘satellites’ containing all the necessary subsystems found in a real satellite - such as power and communications - that fit into a 330ml soft drink can. Even if they do not actually go into space, they are released from a rocket at an altitude of about 1 kilometer. On their way back to the ground, CanSats have to perform a certain mission and land safely, just like a space probe descending and landing on another planet. CanSat brings together teams of 4-6 students and a teacher to represent their school and country in regionals, nationals and finally, internationals where they will have the opportunity to meet the industry's top scientists in aerospace technology from ESA (European Space Agency) as well as compete against Europes top international teams where a team's chosen missions, data collected, technology, presentation of data, communication and teamwork are all taken into account.

Catholic Schools Week took place from the 28th of January to the 4th of February. To begin the celebration of this week our Transition Year and 5th year students who are completing the Pope John Paul II Awards participated in a Mass in the Cathedral alongside students from the Ursuline College. Throughout the week reflections were read out over the PA system, allowing students to pause and reflect on the role of family, the school and the parish in the living out of faith. Students took part in a number of activities during their Religious Education classes including making posters, St. Brigid's crosses and going to the College chapel. 1st year students invited their grandparents in on Thursday to celebrate a special Mass which highlighted the importance of the grandparents in passing along the faith. This week provided the opportunity for our school community to reflect on what being a Catholic school means to us.
