5th Year Rat Dissection

5th Years dissected rats as their wrap up for Science Week. They got to see how similar mammalian anatomy is in terms of the major organs we all possess. They carried out the cuts for the dissection very accurately and identified all the major body systems. They pretended to be grossed out but they were all very into the dissection by the end of it! #scienceweek #fromeachtheirbest

Our 1st Year Soccer team played the first round of the Cup today against Lucan CBS, winning 3-2. ️ Shane Carrol scored an early goal from a quick free kick but Lucan responded with a goal from corner soon after. Portlaoise dominated the second half with two goals in quick succession from captain David Timmons and substitute Ryan Doyle. Man of the match was Callum Devoy. #fromeachtheirbest

Those doing TY work experience should come in at 10.30am, not before, as you have no timetabled classes. 

Others, who are in school, will be called down to the GPA at that time.

All must wear full school uniform as we will be taking a class photograph and then everyone will leave to go home.

Other 5th years, who did not receive JC Results, will remain in school till 4pm. If they come to school, they will not be allowed to sign out early. As there will be very small 5th year classes for tomorrow, we suggest that these 5th years remain at home for the day. 

We wish all our students who receive their results a good day and a safe day and ask that you all look out for each other. Thank you.

Our TY and 5th Year Debaters took on @scoilchriostri_portlaoise last week.
Motion - That this house believes Transition Year is beneficial!
We had some fantastic speakers and both schools were commended on the level of detail and arguments presented in their speeches. But there could only be one winner on the day! @debatingscr narrowly defeated St. Mary’s CBS. Best speaker went to Jack Murrell! 
We are really enjoying both debating committees coming together and working cohesively. Special thanks to Mr. Coolahan from SCR for visiting us and adjudicating on the day! 
The boys are already looking forward to their next debate!
Thanks to Ms. Hyland, Ms. Carroll and Ms. Griffin for organising.
