On the 20th of April, all TY students travelled to Achill Island to complete the adventure journey part of their Bronze Gaisce award. The journey involves a 25km hike, completed over two days. As well as doing the walk, the students also got the opportunity to surf and do the now infamous bog run. All students really enjoyed the experience and felt a huge sense of accomplishment upon finishing the hike.

Well done to the TY ‘Positiviteam’ who qualified for and performed in the YSI National Finals in City West, Dublin on May 10th.  Their topic was promoting positivity and mental health. There were over 100 schools presenting on a variety of different social issues on the day and our girls did us proud.

On Friday 8th April, our school Award Ceremony took place in the Excel Theatre, to acknowledge the exceptional efforts and achievements of our students.  61 students were nominated for awards by staff and fellow students.   All nominees received a candle and a certificate recognising their achievement.  20 of those students were honoured with awards.  Continue reading “School Award Ceremony” →
