Rowing Success!
Well done to Maeve mc Loughlin and Kate Smyth who competed at the school’s rowing competition in Limerick at the weekend. They came 2nd in the u16 doubles event and Maeve can 4th out of 24 boats in the u16 singles event. Congratulations to both girls, we are all so proud of you here at OLS!
Careers Week
On Wednesday 24th April the TY and 5th year students attended the OLS Career Expo. A big thank you to all the participants who shared their knowledge and insights with the students during the evening. It was fantastic to see so many past pupils, parents, and representatives from various colleges and apprenticeships/training options attending. Many thanks also to Julie and Bevin and all the members of the parents council who helped run this event. Students got to meet and talk to people from a number of different professions. They also had the opportunity to meet with representatives from a selection of further and higher education colleges and learn about available apprenticeships. We hope the event helped students explore and research various career areas, helping them to make informed career choices.
Poetry Day
The school celebrated Poetry Day on Thursday — some amazing student poems are on display in the GPA (see the photo gallery). During the lunch break, students took part in “blackout poetry” (where words are redacted from a magazine article to create a poem) and a Taylor Swift Vs. Shakespeare Quiz was also handed out. It was great fun!
