For the first time in the schools history our Senior A Hockey Team have won the Leinster Senior League. The team, captained by Sophie Maher and coached by John Pearson, beat Wesley College on sudden death penalty shuttles. Jennifer Rourke scored for Foxrock in the second half before Wesley came back with a goal with only 4 minutes to go. Penalty shuttles after full time would determine the winner. Grace Jones saved Foxrock over and over with Anna Lucey scoring the winner much to the delight of our wonderful supporters. 
Thank you to our brilliant students who were like an extra player on the sidelines cheering the team on. Thank you to our wonderful teachers who welcomed the students back to school for a celebratory reception. Thank you to Hunters Estate Agents for their sponsorship.  Thank you to the parents for their continued support. Thank you to our 6th years who have been committed to hockey since their very first day in Foxrock. Thank you to all those who helped to make it happen and thank you to the team who have been committed from the very first day of the season. 
The team now qualify for All Irelands in April in Wesley College.

Safer Internet Day 2024

Dear Parents / Guardians,

The launch of our student Anti-Bullying Ambassadors’ Every Day should be a Safer Internet Day Campaign on SID 2024, February 6th got off to a flying start.

The ABAs distributed SID 2024 wristbands to our first, second and fifth years. First and second years also received School pledge bookmarks, made by the ABAs, for their journals as a reminder that kindness and respect matter, both in person and online. We were delighted to share the video clips of our celebrities – Amy Huberman, Lucy Kennedy and the boyband Next in Line - who all recorded their special good wishes to the students of Loreto College Foxrock for Safer Internet Day 2024.

There has been a fantastic response from first, second and fifth years to our SID 2024 poster competition so winners will be announced after mid-term.

Finally, six of our ABAs were invited to participate in the Webwise* Live-Streamed Webinar designed to give young people a platform to voice their online experiences and concerns. The event was hosted by Claire Brock at Microsoft Dream Space, Leopardstown on Tuesday 6th February. Second year students Alexis Ryan, Cordelia Caton, Molly Andrews, Cara Keane and Charley Veitch led by our fifth year Webwise trained SID Ambassador, Ciara Redden, all contributed to the discussions on the theme of Tech in our World.

Well done to our two SID Ambassadors, our student SID Support Team, our representatives at Tuesday’s Webwise Webinar Event and to all our student ABAs for their wonderful work.
