Soroptimist Girls’ Public Speaking Competition

Loreto Wexford experienced great success in the local heats of this year’s competition which was held on Thursday, 23 November in The Riverbank House Hotel. There were twenty-two contestants and both winners were Loreto girls, namely Roisín O’Sullivan and Krishna Ramesh. Hannah Cullimore and Mindulee Senevirathna also represented the school with great distinction.

Roisín and Mindulee’s topic was ‘Education: With guns you can kill terrorists; with education you can kill terrorism’. Hannah spoke about the importance of resilience to improve our mental health while Krishna spoke about the empowerment of women focusing on Thomas Edison’s quote “If we did all the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves”. The girls wowed the judges and the audience with their passion and conviction and their references to their own positive experiences as Loreto students.

Roisín and Krishna will go on to represent Wexford in the Regional Final of the Soroptimist Public Speaking Competition that takes place in The Esplanade Hotel in Bray at 2pm on 20 January. On this occasion, it will be impromptu, where the girls will be given a topic, five minutes preparation time and two minutes to make a speech.

Best of luck girls!

Loreto Interschool’s Equestrian Event – Report by Méabh Byrne

The Loreto charity Interschool’s Equestrian competition, in aid of the MRI Now campaign, took place recently. It was organised by two 4th year students, Méabh Byrne and Alannah Lacey. The event took place in the Wexford Equestrian arena, Tomhaggard. Equestrian Interschool’s events have become very popular over the last few years, with schools all over Ireland hosting events throughout the year. With this is mind, Méabh and Alannah set about organising the first such Loreto event.

There was an excellent turnout on the day, with 14 novice teams and 9 open teams taking part. There was also a large number of individual entrants, taking part in the novice and open competitions. Kilkenny College won the novice team category with a strong performance. However, the Loreto team also performed well, finishing fourth in the jump off. The team members were Tayler Peare, Flora Doran, Méabh Byrne and Chloe Hendrick (Coláiste Bride, Enniscorthy). In the afternoon, there was further success for Loreto, when they won the open team event. They fought off a strong challenge from Newbridge College, by going double clear in the jump off. The Loreto team consisted of Alannah Lacey, Davina Murphy, Eimear Jackman and Anna Browne. Méabh Byrne, the only competitor to go clear from a field of 12 riders, won the 105-joker class.

We would like to congratulate all those who participated in the various competitions, and all of the kind sponsors who provided prizes for the competitors and raffle prizes. Finally, we would like to thank Pat Peare, Orla Roche and all at Wexford Equestrian for hosting the event at their great facility.
