Second-year students enjoyed a dynamic and engaging French lesson in our new physical activity room. They began by working at the whiteboard to recall previously learned vocabulary, which they then used to create role-plays in a French restaurant setting. With plenty of space to move around, they took on on the roles of waiters and customers, set tables, and served food. We ended the class with circle time, reviewing vocabulary and phrases through a game of catch, followed by an energetic activity where students ran to the coloured floor mats, following instructions from their classmates. It was a lively and exciting way to finish the school day, encouraging movement and interaction rather than remaining seated at desks.

Best of luck to Ms Fennell's and Ms Mc Mahon's 1st Yr Maths classes who recently took part in the nationwide online maths competition with the Irish Maths Teachers' Association (IMTA). We eagerly await the results of the student entries. 

The ‘Our Fundraiser’ national Christmas Giveaway competition was a great success. As a thank you to both new supporters and regular supporters, they are having a ‘Thank You Giveaway’ competition on 30th January 2025. This nationwide competition is open to all fundraising groups who use the service.

You do not have to do anything as you will be automatically entered into the competition if you have a ticket for the fundraiser draw on 30th January 2025. Prizes include a €1,500 Holiday Voucher, a €1,000 Cash Prize or 2 x Oasis Platinum Tickets.
