It was wonderful to celebrate this new chapter with them! Thank you to all involved, the readers, those who lit candles and to our religion department who helped organise it. A special thanks to Fr Dominic who celebrated our Mass with us.

The international guests representing about 20 countries, from Zimbabwe, Germany, Austria, USA, Slovenia. Bulgaria etc gave the students a well-deserved standing ovation. Well done to all involved.
TY Trip to Delphi: Our Transition Year pupils travelled to Delphi, Co Mayo in September. Each student had an opportunity to do all activities which included surfing, team tasks, zip and trek, archery, climbing and abseiling. Everyone returned having really enjoyed the three days away. While there were a few tired bodies there was a great sense of achievement among the group.
