GAA Future Leaders
Well done to our GAA Future Leaders class who have successfully completed their Refereeing Course!
Over the past week, the girls took part in the Young Whistlers Course, facilitated by Wexford Camogie. A big thank you to Justin Heffernan for delivering the course, Wexford Camogie for providing the programme and Wexford Credit Union for sponsoring the girls with their one-of-a-kind jerseys.
We would also like to thank Denise Kane, who visited the class on Wednesday to share her refereeing journey, answer questions and provide valuable insight and advice.
We can’t wait to see how these girls flourish in their refereeing careers!

Multicultural Day at Presentation Wexford
On Tuesday last week representatives from the Inclusion Committee attended Multicultural Day at Presentation Wexford. There was a wonderful display of cultures along with informative presentations on research the students had carried out on multiculturalism in their school. Many thanks to Ms Carr and her students for a brilliant day
International Pi Day
TY students celebrated International Pi Day (March 14th — 3/14) with a fascinating presentation on the history of π from Mr. Broderick. The celebration continued with some delicious “pi” treats, baked yesterday by Ms. Howlin and her TY students.
It was a very fun, informative, and tasty event. After all, learning about π is always irrationally enjoyable — and the treats were certainly as endless as the digits of π!
Mr. Broderick held a Pi Memory Contest. Congratulations to our winners:
Junior Cycle:
Ellie O’Rourke – 162 digits 
(overall winner!)
Ava Lily Murphy – 57 digits
Sophie Turner – 43 digits
Senior Cycle:
Molly Kearney – 85 digits
Keelin O’Reilly – 81 digits
Evelyn Walker – 31 digits
Well done to everyone who took part, and a special round of applause for Ellie O’Rourke for her outstanding achievement of reciting 162 digits of pi!
Well done to everyone involved for making the day such a sweet success.
