There were shrieks of joy, hugs, and laughter in our Assembly Hall as our Junior Cycle class of 2023 received their outstanding results. Students took a break from their work experience placements to collect their results at midday. Our principal, Mr Leonard, complimented the students on their hard work which earned the wonderful results they received today. Ms Mills, Year Head was also complimentary and asked the students to enjoy celebrating their achievements safely. Well done everyone! We are very proud of you all.

The student council would like to remind everyone of the Civvies Day on Friday 15th December in aid of the Alzheimer's Society of Ireland. It is hoped that students might wear a Christmas jumper on the day and a €2 donation is appreciated if you are wearing civvies that day.

Dear students, parents and guardians,

Our 4D class have completed excellent work over the last few weeks in their Alzheimer's Education Class. They have completed a number of the stage 1 online modules on growing old, how the brain works and understanding Alzheimer's. This week they were preparing a lesson to teach 1st year students as part of stage 2; the Peer to Peer Education Programme.

Well done 4D.

Ms Mills 

1st year students were provided with a retreat as Cross and Passion College on Wednesday 11th October. The aim to ensure students feel connected to their school community and it is our ongoing effort to create a positive and caring school culture where all are encouraged to grow, with dignity, to their full potential. 

Fr Cyril Odia (lecturer of youth ministry in Maynooth University) and his team from the Salesian community had generously organised a day of music, workshops and experiences that inspire community spirit and thanksgiving. Students engaged in workshops about the rosary/prayer, sport and faith, Salesian spirit and listened to a testimony from Sr Mary. The day ended with some Ceili dancing! 

Mass was celebrated by the whole 1st year group, teachers and the Ember team. A student from each 1st year class read a prayer of the faithful and a member of our 4th year Ember team read a prayer too. Well done to all involved.
