Our 1000th Post on Instagram - Our TY’s have finally recovered from their trip to @carlingfordadventure. Here are some photos from Day 2 and 3! This is the first bonding trip we have been in a position to organise for the beginning of the year in 3 years! And what a way to start the year. The boys had a fantastic few days and were model students with many locals and workers at the adventure centre commenting on their friendly and polite manner. Well done lads, you are a credit to our school and very fitting for our 1000th post. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support on our social media platforms.

Inspire Education study skills workshop

Our 6th year students received their first study skills workshop ‘Inspire Education’ last Thursday. The boys were introduced to the five steps to exam success in a dynamic and structured way. They examined a range of multisensory study and revision strategies to enable them to make informed decisions about what is most effective and efficient way for them to revise. The role of sleep, nutrition and technologies in overall wellbeing was also highlighted. The boys received an exam countdown planner as part of an exploration of effective time management. Finally, students were shown how to prepare psychologically for exam time and how to maximise exam techniques.  Feedback from the boys was very positive and we hope that they have started to put some of their newly learned techniques into place. 5th year students will have the opportunity to engage in the ‘Inspire Education’ study skills workshop on the 19th of October. We highly recommend your son engage in this workshop to help build positive study habits. Cost of the workshop is €5 which can be paid through the school app.

Ms. Barrett’s 2nd year science class investigated the effect of light on starch production through the process of photosynthesis. They covered leaves in tin foil to eliminate light ️then boiled the leaves to soften them, removed the chlorophyll by heating the leaves in alcohol ️ and finally testing for starch using iodine. They found that the leaves exposed to light turned blue/black showing the presence of starch whereas the covered leaves remained brown indicating no starch is present. Well done guys!

Last year our Green Schools committee, with the help of Solas students, created a display made from recycled bottle caps. The students collected, sorted, arranged, and designed the piece of art. The display is a tree with flowers, on top of the world and our school motto. They really enjoyed this project and it can be seen it in our GPA. #fromeachtheirbest #greenschool @greenschoolsire

‍️Walk to school week takes place from September 19th to September 23rd. We are asking students and parents to make an extra effort this week to either walk to school/ work or walk part of the way there. ‍️ Walking to school is one of the best ways to start the day with multiple benefits to student's physical and mental health. It also has a positive impact on academic performance and behaviour with higher levels of concentration and focus.
