We are very proud of Saffron Ralph, L4, who was one of the 157 delegates taking part in the Youth Assembly in Dáil Éireann on Friday last. The 10 Recommendations produced by the Youth Assembly have been formally handed to the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment. An Ceann Comhairle has committed to circulating the Recommendations to all 157 TDs and to the members of the Seanad. An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar has said publicly that he will meet with a delegation from the Youth Assembly to discuss the Recommendations. There is an opportunity for you to register your support for the Youth Assembly's Recommendations online at www.rte.ie/news/youth-assembly/2019/1113/1090623-show-support-for-the-youth-assembly-recommendations/ .
Clothes Swap

To raise awareness of the environmental impact of our fashion choices and to encourage students to reduce their use of 'fast fashion', we hosted an OLS Junior Clothes Swap last Monday in the GPA. Students from 1st to 3rd year raided their wardrobes and brought in any unwanted items of clothing to swap on a one-for-one basis. The swap was a great success with the vast majority of clothing finding its way to new homes! Anything left over was donated to charity. Big thank you to the students from C4 who helped out with organising this event.

A Tug-rific Active School Flag Launch Event!

What better way to end an exciting, active and fun-filled Active School Flag Launch week than a student-teacher showdown? Staff and students faced off in a fiercely competitive tug-of-war event at lunch today. The teachers got off to a great start, having carb-loaded diligently all week. They took the 6th and 5th Years in their stride. It took the TYs to bring the teacher-streak to a halt as they solidly nailed a student victory. The 3rd Years, however, bore the brunt of the staff efforts to reassert their power and lost out. Down to the 1st and 2nd Years to salvage student pride...staff were feeling pretty confident. Perhaps even complacent. Mistake. If you can imagine it, the 2nd and 1st Year students brought the teachers to their knees and saved the student body from imminent defeat! Youth prevails again! We had to settle for an overall draw, 3 wins a piece. Check out our gallery for more pics...great Friday fun had by all! Well done to the Active School Flag class and Ms Doran for a brilliant week!
