Friday Finish & Reminders!

27 Sep 2024

Another busy week at OLS! Well done to the 6th Year Geographers who battled the elements on Wednesday to complete their field investigation at Powerscourt! We welcomed our 1st Year parents on Wednesday afternoon for an information session followed by a cuppa and the Parents' Council AGM. Our Opening Year Mass is always a special occasion to bring the school community together for a few moments of quiet reflection and a pause in the busyness of school life. We celebrated this on Thursday in the Sports Hall with the M5s, Fr. Pat and Ms Keogh at the helm. It was a meaningful ceremony and the 5th Years really inspired us to reflect on their theme, 'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their purpose.' The 6th Years headed to the RDS today for the Higher Options & World Skills Conferences, while back at school, the Active School Flag class kept us highly entertained at lunchtime with a student & staff mixed team relay takeover event. Well done to all who took part and to the TYs for getting us going (and laughing!)!  Important Reminders: Admissions: Remember that the window for applications for 1st Year 2025-26 opens next week: website School closure: Monday Sept. 30th as per school calendar. The 6th Year Parent-Teacher Meeting on Tuesday October 1st means a 3.15pm finish for the whole school. Study Skills Week is next week. 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th Years will have their Study Skills Seminars on Tuesday and Thursday. Click into the Gallery for more pics of this week's action!
