Hats off to our TY students

Our TY students had the experience of making their own hats with award-winning miliner Suzie Mahony from Loughrea, Co. Galway on Thursday 5th September. Their work will be on display in the main hall of the school over the coming weeks. Well done to all!

 

Welcome 1st year students

We welcomed 76 new first year students on 26th August and for the first time in 15 years we have three first year classes. Students are finding their feet very well and settling in to their new school, trying out new activities and making new friends. Well done to all on a very good start!
