It was a pleasure and a privilege to be invited to University College Dublin (UCD) on Wednesday this week for the Entrance Scholars Awards.

UCD Entrance Scholars are first-year students recognised for their academic achievement who have achieved 560 points or more in their Leaving Certificate.  These awards are part of a range of UCD initiatives put in place to recognise exceptional students when they join.

Cross and Passion College had a fantastic six students receiving this award on Wednesday - most schools present had perhaps one recipient. This is a fantastic tribute to our students and our staff who worked so hard over the years together to achieve such success. It is also a tremendously proud achievement for the parents and families of the recipients.

The recipients were Hannah Breen, Eoin Clarke, Hannah Crowley, Halo Domican, Lorcan Murphy and Jill O’Toole.

Many congratulations to all and continued success in the future. We are so proud!

The 1st Year Prefects organised an Easter Activity for the 1st years this afternoon, from 2.00-3.30 p.m. 

The 1st years played some bingo to start off their afternoon of fun. 

Then in teams, they took part in a table quiz. The table quiz consisted of six rounds, with 10 questions in each round. 

Congratulations to the deserving winners; 

1st Place (47 points) - Team F6 (Jamie Pullen, Charlie Rafferty, Lainey Swan & Sean Wilson) 

2nd Place (46 points) - Team E2 (Ellie Connolly, Emma Deering, Ben Dixon & Kian Farrell) 

Joint 3rd Place (39 points) - Team E1 (James Baars, Ruby Byrne, Dylan Cagney & Samara Clancy) & Team E3 (Daire Havelin, Taylor Hughes, Calum Jordan & Josh Marron) 

Well done to all of the prefects for organising a fantastic afternoon for the 1st years. 

We are delighted to participate in the Mental Heath Ireland campaign encouraging people to say Hello and ask How are you?
