This competition saw elite national rowers, including Paul O'Donovan and Sanita Puspure (the reigning world champion in the women's single scull) compete in their respective categories. This success was a tremendous achievement so well done Grace!!

Today's Irish Independent reports a study from the Higher Education Authority that shows that students who do their Leaving Cert in grind schools rather than traditional schools perform worse in college and university. Students from grind schools are less likely to complete their degree courses and are less likely to get a 2:1 or a first-class degree. The report finds that in relation to college completion and getting a good degree, "grind schools do considerably worse than average".

6th Year Debs POSTPONED

Dear 6th Year Students & Parents, On behalf of the Parents' Council Committee we would like to advise you that we have taken the disappointing decision to cancel the Debs for the Class of 2020.  We know this is a disappointing outcome for you all, but we wish to let you know that we did not take this decision lightly and have done so by taking into consideration all of the Government guidelines. As a committee, we have been in consultation with representatives from the 6th Year student body and have come to the conclusion that given all of the restrictions which are currently in place - and those which are likely to still be in place at the end of August - we have been left with no other option. We would like to compliment and thank the students for their thoughtfulness  and maturity in accepting this decision based on the realities we are all facing right now and into the near future. We would like to advise also, however, that if there is sufficient interest from the Class of 2020, once restrictions permit, we will work with the students to organise an event in the coming months. We hope you are all keeping safe and well and that all of your families are healthy. Kind Regards, Sylvia McDonagh Chairperson Taylor's Hill Parents' Council
