As part of the process of trying to gain an Active Schools flag, the school must set up a school walkway where learning on the move can take place. During lunchtimes each day this week the TY Active Schools class ran a competition with daily prizes that will help all students familiarise themselves with the location of each station.

Yesterday to celebrate Pi-Day, 16 students (4 teams) represented our School in the Annual Pi- Quiz held in Naas Community College. Our students put their excellent brains to the task for 8 challenging rounds of Maths Questions. Despite an admirable performance by our students the honours for 1st and 2nd were claimed by Piper’s Hill College. Well done to all students involved.  

As part of International Women Day celebrations, TY and 5th Year Business students created profiles of success Irish women in business. These included entrepreneurs, CEOs, influencers, tech giants, founders of charities, advocates for gender equality and diversity, Kildare natives and even some of our own students. Here’s some samples of what they produced.

Two of our students got to visit our local vet on Tuesday. It was a great experience for all.

Hard luck to the 2nd year basketball team who were narrowly beaten by Moate CS in their midlands final on Tuesday! It’s still all very much to play for as this talented group are now preparing to play their part in the all Ireland series in April!

Thanks to our TY student Leah O'Toole for writing this report.

Strength and conditioning classes for Senior Cycle students continued yesterday evening. Great effort made by the participants and some strong progress is being made. Well done girls! These will run to before Easter break!
