Thursday, 7th March, is World Book Day.  There will be a number of activities and competitions taking place during the week to promote reading for pleasure.  Students are asked to bring a book to school with them every day next week as there will be opportunities to "drop everything and read".

Congratulations to Sarah Courtney of 5th year who has been selected for the U18 Ireland Women's squad that will participate in the Four Nations basketball tournament in Scotland in early April.  This is Sarah's first of what we hope will be many Irish caps.

Congratulations to Juvenile golfer Rachel O’Dea (3rd year) who hit an ace on the 3rd hole in last weekend’s junior competition with St Anne’s golf club. What’s even more impressive is that she did it with her brand new clubs. Well done, Rachel. It’s great to see many of our students playing golf. 

1st year art students have been working on crafts this term. Classes have created clay pieces and lino prints. 

1st Year French students created cards to celebrate la fête de la St Valentin. Well done, ladies

1D have been busy making, baking and painting Medieval Castles for their February History competition. Brilliant work, ladies!

Some members of our Ember group and TYC, baked over 250 cookies for the 3rd & 6th year students before they started their mock exams. Thank you to the students and Ms Halpin for organising this.

Congratulations to Orlaith Benham and Louise Gallogly, 2nd Year, who won their debate last night in UCD's Junior Debates. They opposed the motion 'Space Exploration is a waste of time'. The girls spoke very well and were very convincing. Well done girls!
