Congratulations to the TY MUN (Model United Nations) team who recently participated in the Newpark MUN event. 

The Foxrock delegation comprised Katie O'Donnell, Sarah Kearns, Helen Shang, Aoife Smith,Katie Montayne (all pictured), Parina Rucktooa-Gukhool and Alannah McCarthy.

Congratulations in particular to Katie O'Donnell and Sarah Kearns who were awarded the prize of "Best First-Time Delegate" for their committees SPECPOL (Special Political and Decolonization Committee) and Security Council. 

Well done to Bohan Zhang who came in the top 52 out of 18,500 entries in the Maggie Gough Maths competition.

Well done to the 3rd year students who took part in a fundraising event to raise awareness and funds for the Dublin Simon Community. Last night a group of 3rd year students with their CSPE teacher, Mr Nulty, took part in a 'Sleep-in' in the school sports hall. Students returned to school at 7pm and stayed until 8am this morning. Many thanks to Mr Nulty for organising the event. 

Students have sponsorship cards and all donations, no matter how small are greatly appreciated.

Hopefully the 3rd years will hold a couple more events to continue to raise awareness and funds for their chosen charity.  

Congratulations to all the students and staff who gave a fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable performance last night at the Christmas Concert. We enjoyed a selection of pieces from both orchestra ensembles and solo performances from a range of students. A big thank you to Ms leMay, Ms Smith, Ms Scully, Ms Gleeson and Ms Forde for giving their time and sharing their talent with the school community. Thank you also to the housekeeping staff who provided some gorgeous refreshments and treats at the intermission. 

Wishing everyone a healthy, restful and safe Christmas.

Congratulations to Ciara Redden and Lucy Mullins who recently won the LawSoc Mace debating competition in UCD.

The competition was open to TY, 5th and 6th Year debaters and was run over one day. Debaters are given 15 minutes to prepare debate motions - and there are three initial rounds. High scoring teams "break" to the semi-final and from there qualify for a final.

Lucy and Ciara made it to the final where unfortunately, Lucy was called away from the competition. Ciara had therefore to deliver two speeches in the final on behalf of her team. Impressively, she went on to win the competition by herself. Well done to both girls on their achievement.

Congratulations to our 1st Yr Student Sian Mc Crohan who has been selected for the Irish Water Polo team.
