Congratulations to Hanin Al Kasem:

We congratulate Hanin (5^th Year) on obtaining second place in a national arts competition organised by the Immigrant Council of Ireland. Her poem ‘Being a Hijabi’ was selected from the many entries. This week, Hanin was presented with her prizes by Marton Bisztrai from the Immigrant Council. Well done, Hanin!

Our senior camogie side qualified for the Leinster final after defeating Callan Community School. The final score was 1-16 to 0.7 points.

Commiserations to our senior soccer team who lost out 1-2 at home yesterday to Coláiste Bríde, Enniscorthy. Polly Redmond scored our goal.

We congratulate all teams and thank their coaches and mentors for giving up their time so freely with all groups.

First Year Trips:

Our 1^st Year students have been busy inside and outside of the classroom. On Wednesday, 4 December they had a Science Trip to Explorium in Dublin. Two days later, the group were in Leisure Max for a fun day following the exams.

6^th Year Wellbeing Day – Friday, 6 December:

Our annual 6^th Year Wellbeing Day was a great success. Throughout the day, students attended workshops on drumming, dancing, yoga, reflexology, art therapy and sound baths. The theme of the day was ‘balance’ and this was reinforced by a group assembly with Peader Maxwell, Psychology Manager of Wexford Psychology Services.
