5th Year students returned back from their mid term Ski Trip to Bormio last Friday. They all had a wonderful week of skiing and took part in activities like curling and ice skating in the evenings. It was a thoroughly enjoyable week with no injuries! Well done to all involved.

This morning, the TY into 5th Subject Choice Expo was held in St Joseph's Hall. The place was buzzing with passion for learning! 5th Year students represented each subject and were dedicated to informing TYs about what to expect from that subject. Well done to them for their work and enthusiasm. 

Congratulations to Estella Graham, 5th-Year student, who received a prestigious BSTAI award for achieving the highest result in the country in the Junior Cycle Business Studies exam. This is an outstanding achievement, and we are incredibly proud of her success. Also, a huge well done to her teacher, Ms. Phelan, for her dedication and guidance in helping Estella reach this remarkable milestone. Both Estella and Ms. Phelan have represented our school at the highest level, and we extend our warmest congratulations to them both!
