Green School Committee Raises Green Flag!
Created : 01 Jun 2022, 7:30 AM
Archived : 01 Aug 2022, 12:00 AM
Last week our Green School committee celebrated raising their Green Flag. The committee were awarded for their work on Biodiversity within the school. Our members have worked hard to create an environment to harness biodiversity in our school environment. The students have grown their own plants, created bug hotels & bird feeders as well as growing flowers for the bees. We would like to thank each member for their hard work and the teachers who made it possible, Ms. Redmond, Ms, Kerrigan & Ms. Heffernan. #GreenFlag22 #GreenSchool #FromEachTheirBest @greenschoolsire

On Friday last, we had a doggie day in Solas. A few of the teachers and SNA’s brought in their furry friends to help alleviate some exam stress for our students. What a gorgeous idea!

Summer Programme For Interested 1st Years

Letters were sent home yesterday to parents/guardians of a number of mainly 1st year students whom, we believed, would be interested and would benefit from the Summer School Programme which begins next Tuesday. If your son has missed out on school days for whatever reason, and you believe he could do with the extra literacy, numeracy plus the life skills, PE and IT skills, you are very welcome to ring the school office to put your son's name forward. If you have done so already, it is my fault that the secretary did not know it was open to others, and I would ask you to ring again, leaving your name and contact number. I will get back to you today. What is the Summer Programme? It will start next Tuesday 7th June, and finish on Friday 17th June - 9 days - from 10am to 3pm each day. There is no cost to the student and they do not wear a uniform. Lunch will be provided each day. The daily activites will include: Literacy, Numeracy, IT skills such as coding, Life skills ( we envisage some cooking, woodwork/metalwork) and PE. It will all be done in a relaxed and enjoyable environment and will aim at improving their literacy and numeracy which they may have missed out on or fallen behind on with lockdown etc. Time is short to get it up and running. I need to know how many students are definitely registering so I can organise the teachers and the classes. Have a think about it. It is not for everybody but it is for some. I hope to have everyone's name by tomorrow, Wednesday. Thank you.

Today our Transition Year Students had a soccer blitz with SCR Portlaoise. 11 teams of 6aside competed with a mix of boys and girls on each team. There were some fantastic goals and performances on the day but there could only be one winner. Pictured here are the winning team who were treated to some pizza as crowned champs. Well done to Alison Dalton, Tara Byrne, Eoin O’Kelly, Paddy Reddin, Joe Byrne and Aoibheann Swaglis. We would like to thank SCR for taking part and being such good sports throughout the day. Well done all!
