TY Update

Our 36 TY students had a great start to their year in fabulous weather with a Surfing trip to Strandhill.  This was followed by a treetop adventure in Zipit Forest Park last Thursday.  A great day was had by all. 

TYs hosted a very successful bake sale today 27th September in aid of the Shoebox Appeal.  Through our very generous school population much needed funds were raised for this worthy cause.

Some of our TY mentors will be accompanying the first year students on their bonding tour on Thursday. 

On Friday our TYs will be participating in ‘New Voices’, a playwriting programme with facilitator Miriam Needham.

Their next adventure will take place next Tuesday 4th October when they will journey to Sligo by train to visit the Model Niland Gallery and Sligo Abbey.

Following this will be another adventure to Sligo by train on Thursday 20th October to see comedian Ger Carey perform his live comedy show at Sligo Southern Hotel.

Now as we enter the fourth week of Physical Education, the first years are settling in well and learning new skills. 

Over the past few weeks, all first years have been working on their Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS). 

Here are some pictures of today (Monday 26th) on students working on their Catching & Throwing skills. 

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

We look forward to Junior Cycle results day tomorrow, Wednesday 23rd November as our current TY and 5th year students obtain their long-awaited results.  As per school tradition, TY and 5th year students will have no school on Wednesday 23rd.  TY students should discuss this with their place of work experience if they wish to have the day free.  Students will have two options to obtain their results:

1. Login to the student portal at www.examinations.ie using the unique PIN number which has been provided to them this morning. Those not in school today have received their PIN on Teams.

2. Visit the school from 2pm to collect results from Ms. McNamee's classroom.  A parent/guardian must accompany the student if opting to collect results from the school.

Students will have school on Thursday 24th November as normal. We advise all students to take care when celebrating and to stay safe.
