Go Girls - Karting Initiative

Our school has participated in the Formula Female scheme since its beginning. Each year, the girls spend a day learning about motorsport including the mathematics of cornering, building sensors, pit stop challenges and of course racing go-karts themselves. This year the top drivers from the day attended the Connacht finals to select drivers to compete in the All-Ireland finals. The drivers all performed well but Eve Lyons (shown with organiser Nicci Daly), was named overall champion. She will now undergo additional training and compete in the finals. Well done to Chloe Cubbard, Liadh O Connor, Sienna O Brien, Mikayla Murray, Lillian Sabat Skibinksa and to Eve Lyons who progresses to her karting training camp.

Several of our TY students created some beautiful hampers which were gifted to residents at the Clarinbridge Care Centre. This was part of their YSI class and the social issue they decided to try to make a difference in was loneliness, they decided to deliver hampers to the residents in the care home as they felt that it would make them feel connected, loved and also occupy some of their time with the contents. The girls involved were Aoibhin Fox, Angela Galeon, Meera Joshi, Anna Khvedelidze, Martha Mellotte, Martha McGovern-Kyne, Deborah Mateta & Cara O'Brien. The staff and residents were delighted with the girls’ efforts and they brought great energy and joy to the center. Well done girls, you raised the spirits of many people.

Today, we had a wonderful school community event when we launched our involvement in the One Good School project with Jigsaw. We were joined by guests who shared their experiences and it was an opportunity for us to celebrate our mental health and learn how the One Good School project will help us support this over the coming 14 months. In attendance were our Dominican Sisters, Sr. Maria, Sr. Michael, Sr. Padraigin & Sr. Catherine and past pupils Meabh De Burca & Chelsea Daly. Excellent music was provided by Uisce Jones. We were also joined by members of our board of management and parents' association and our entire school community of staff and students on the hockey pitch on a sunny afternoon. The project will be a whole school collaboration with a focus on positive mental health and the One Good School team is made up of staff, students and parents who have all played a role in organising the launch. Thank you to everyone who made this launch such a success.
