Last Thursday, the LCA class visited the Mill Theatre for a comic journey inside the teenage mind. They thoroughly enjoyed this stand-up comedy performance by Ger Carey. It was a fantastic day out celebrating Wellbeing Week while also engaging with the arts.
The Teaching and Learning Student Focus Group led by Ms Doran, presented their research at our Staff Meeting on Monday on how students learn best in our school. Our students from 1st, 2nd & 5th Year, spoke articulately about the benefits of active learning which forms an important focus of our School Self Evaluation. Well done to the group and thank you to Ms Doran.
Well done to our Minor Camogie team who made it 3 wins from 3 in the Dublin A Championship. The girls defeated a very strong Maynooth team by 5-7 to 2-2. They will now progress as group winners in to the semi finals against Loreto Beaufort.
