Welcome back TY’s

This year will be different from the other years. This year we take time to find new skills and qualities. We will take part in loads of different activities and modules that will benefit us in the future. We will volunteer in local centers throughout the year such as the Nagle Center, Scoil Aonghusa and many more places.

Junior Certificate Results

Trip to Holycross Abbey

There was great excitement on September 14th when the JC Class of 2016 arrived to collect their results. The whole school community congratulate students wholeheartedly on a terrific set of results, and we salute every student who has worked to their potential. While presenting the students with their results, Mr. Gallagher and Mrs. Cully congratulated all of them for their hard work.

On September 20th we visited Holycross to attend a lecture/prayer service held by the great Peter McVerry, a man many attribute to be a living saint. He and his associates talked to us about the poor in both Africa and Dublin. The service lasted for about two hours and was very informative.

Ploughing Match

On September 22nd, the TY students visited the National Ploughing Championships in Screggen near Tullamore, Co. Offaly. This was the first time the event had been held there. We travelled around the place looking at stalls, stores and info booths. We got lots of freebies and everyone really enjoyed the day.

Upperchurch Hike

On September 8th the class of TY went to Upperchurch for a 7km hike. We left our school at 9:35am. It was our first trip this year and we spent the day there. We were accompanied by Mrs. Maher, Mrs. Neavyn, Ms. Barry and Mr. Quinn. When we arrived at our destination we were greeted by our guide, Billy.
