TRANSITION YEAR

Good luck to all our Transition Year students who are currently on one weeks’ work experience.

Seachtain na Gaeilge is in full swing in the school this week.  ‘Seomra na Gaeilge’ has been set up for each lunchtime where students come and play games and speak as Gaeilge.  The fifth year students will be taking part in a céilí and a table quiz on Tuesday and Wednesday, while the first years will have their table quiz on Thursday.  Bígí linn!

SENIOR GIRLS CAMOGIE

Our Senior Girls camogie team played their first ever match on Friday last, March 7th.  The girls put on a great performance against St. Kevin’s, Dunlavin and emerged victorious.  Both sides were well matched in the first half, but a last-minute goal from Gillian Synnott ensured eventual victory, and the game finished on a scoreline of 4-1 to 2-0.  Key players were Niamh Donnelly, Úna Britton, Jessica Morrissey and Leigh O Neill.  Well done to all!
