Congratualtions to all of our students who played in Feile over the past two weekends.  Issy McGovern (2nd year) and her Raheny Camogie team won the Fèile Camogie Division 3 final yesterday beating Fingallions by 1 point. 

In Clontarf GAA, three camogie teams reached their Feile finals yesterday, divisions 1,6 and 8.  Div 6 won their game and Div1 and 8 were beaten by just 1 point each.

Fifth Year computer science students are attending an event in Trinity College today, hosted by Code Plus. The event is promoting careers for women in technology. Google, Workday and Sales Force are involved. Thank you to Ms McGuill for organising the outing for the class. 

On Tuesday, the first year cricket team played their first match, and won against Kings Hospital. Sophie Lawless  (TY) was the umpire and Chole Rogers helped with managing the team.

On Wednesday, the junior team played their first match, against Sandford, and they won.  Jenny Wilson (6th year) was very helpful and left her studies to be scorer for the match! It took place in Clontarf Cricket Club.

A big thank you to Ms Rogers for organising the Cricket this year.

And the sun came out to shine on us.
