Rotary Competition

Congratulations to Transition Year student Faye Howlin, who took part in the Wexford final of the Rotary competition.

As part of the competition, Faye was interviewed by Ms. Verona Murphy, Ceann Comhairle of Dáil Éireann, and former Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Ivan Yates.

This was a tremendous experience for Faye and she has demonstrated great leadership and wonderful personal qualities throughout the process.

Congratulations to third-year ‘Student of the Month’ for October, Regan Kehoe (3.1). She is pictured here with her class teacher, Ms. Lyng, and her year head, Ms. Browne. Well done Regan!

Congratulations to Tara Hegarty (1.4), who was awarded ‘Student of the Month’ for October in first year. Tara was presented with her certificate by her class teacher Mr Grace and year head Mrs Mullen. Well done to Tara!

Football News

Our Transition Year football team had a fantastic win against a battling Presentation, Wexford last week. Well done girls! A brilliant team effort and a great result.

Our Senior Ladies’ Footballers travelled to Gorey yesterday to take on Gorey CS in the third and final round of their Leinster championship group stage.

After an epic battle in which both teams put on a serious display of football, the game ended in a draw 1-16 to 5-04.

Unfortunately despite not losing a game, with two wins and a draw, score difference means the team will not progress to the knockout stages. A harsh way to end what has been fantastic run of games from the team, who should all be very proud of themselves.

Under-16 Soccer

Congratulations to our four students who are part of the under-16 county soccer team and secured a fantastic win over the weekend!

Pictured are Cora Murphy, Amy Hatchell, Mia Wright and Ella O’Brien. Well done girls!

Basketball

Commiserations to our under-16 basketball team who narrowly lost the South East quarter final against Tullow.

Attendance Update

Our new attendance challenge got off to a flying start last week, with some year groups already setting a brilliant example. Every day matters particularly leading up to the November exams! It’s a short term as we count down to Christmas, and there are even more prizes up for grabs in our raffle draw.

Well done to the winners of our last draw (pictured below) who won either a €50 or €25 voucher for the book centre and to Class 1.1 who had their pizza party yesterday. 

Take a look at the leader board after our first week:

Bí Cineálta – Anti-bullying Week – No one Left Out

This week students and teachers shone a light on one of the most important issues in school life – bullying. With this year’s theme of No one Left Out, a variety of activities took place to focus on exclusion bullying behaviour, its impacts and how every student can do their part as an upstander. Our Head Girls, Isabelle and Hannah, began the week with a reflection for the whole school. Our SPHE/Wellbeing teachers addressed the topic in classes and our Meitheal and Cara teams talked to first- and second-years about how to report alleged bullying behaviour and where to seek help both inside and outside school. Wednesday was Random Act of Kindness Day, where members of the Student Council spoke to students to encourage them to carry out at least one kind act during the day. Our Student Council also helped in collecting donations from students on Friday to help the work of the ISPCC. Students very kindly donated €2 each for Odd Socks Day, showing everyone how we are all different and how we should celebrate our differences and what makes us all unique. Our English teachers will continue the focus by showing the movie Wonder to first-year students and following up with worksheets and discussion. Pictured below is Este Lonergan, 3rd Year, who was the winner of the ‘No one Left Out’ poster competition, which saw some very creative and talented entries. Well done to Este!

As we finish up our focused week, we in Loreto will continue, in partnership with the entire school community, to implement the Bí Cineálta procedures to prevent and address bullying behaviour.
