– Today the 6th Years had a talk from Joyce McRedmond. She spoke to them about the need to be kind to ourselves if we are to navigate successfully through these times of uncertainty. The girls were told to be the best friend to themselves that they always wanted to have. Lots of us are working in isolation so the act of reaching out is so important. It was an uplifting start to the last full week in January. We also wish to acknowledge Joyce’s generosity with her donation to Pieta House, which now rounds up our fundraising for this cause to €2500.
– Well done to everyone who got involved in last week’s House Challenge to make an origami house mascot. As you can see from the pictures, we have some very creative individuals in all the houses.
A special mention to C House. C6 were very impressive with 22 entries. However the undoubted winners of bonus House Spirit points were C3, with EVERY STUDENT in the class getting involved and making an origami cow! Well done to C3. All other form classes take note – the bar has been set high for future challenges!
-Well done to the 1st Years who entered the ‘Get up and move’ song competition on behalf of their class. The class who entered the most song entries was….L1!! L1 will now receive House Spirit points for L House.
