Thank you.
Our Junior girls gaelic team had the second game of the league today where they faced a strong sided Mercy team. The girls played in some challenging conditions which proved difficult to overcome in the second half. The girls fought hard from the get go and had some great saves and strong defence throughout. Unfortunately it just wasn't enough to get the girls over the line. The girls are working hard and hope to have luck on their side as they face Grange in the next round. Well done to all involved!
Apologies, we have just been informed that the Castlebaldwin bus will not be running this morning. We will update with any further information as soon as we are informed.
Dear Parents/Guardians/Students,
The HSE have asked us to provide parents and students with the following information relating to a webinar that they are hosting:
You are invited to register for our Vaping/E-cigarettes : Get the Facts webinar, taking place on November 22nd 11am-12.30 pm
The number of people who vape has increased significantly in Ireland in recent years. Data focused on 16 year olds, found 1-in-5 were using E-cigarettes in 2019 which is double what it was in 2015. More up-to-date Irish data is due to be published early next year. Based on these recent trends, we expect this will confirm a further increase in E-cigarette use among children and young people in Ireland. Adults' usage has increased from just 3% in 2016 to 6% in 2022.
This is concerning as the longer-term health effects of vaping are uncertain at this time. During this webinar you will hear from experts about this important and emerging issue.
