Students of the Month for March

Congratulations to the eighteen 1st Year girls who were selected as Students of the Month for March.
They were awarded a certificate and prize in recognition of their exemplary behaviour, positive attitude, and commitment to creating a supportive and respectful learning environment throughout March. Their dedication and hard work are truly commendable.
Well done to each of them for setting such a positive example.

Junior Cycle Home Economics

Congratulations to our third-year Home Economics students on successfully completing their practical exams last week. Their impressive skills and creativity were truly commendable.

Congratulations to our talented Third Year Home Economics students on completing their creative and inspiring interior design projects! Your hard work, attention to detail, and imagination truly shone through—fantastic effort all around!

Finally, well done to our Second Year Home Economics students on completing their handmade tote bags as part of the textiles module! Students developed valuable skills and creativity, with many upcycling old fabrics and lanyard straps into stylish, sustainable bags

Football

Heartbreak for our First-Year footballers who lost by three points to a strong FCJ Bunclody side in the Wexford LGFA final. Huge credit to the girls, especially captain Shona Larkin. We go again April 30th in the U14 South Leinster semi-final.

Childhood Cancer Ireland.

We’re hosting a monster raffle in memory of Naomi Howlin to raise funds for Childhood Cancer Ireland. All proceeds go toward a room for teens undergoing treatment in Wexford General Hospital —one of Naomi’s final wishes. Donate & enter: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/LoretoWexford

Cycle Against Suicide

Yesterday we had face painting, uplifting music on the intercom, and students wore orange accessories to support Cycle Against Suicide. A vibrant day filled with colour, unity and mental health awareness!
