Camogie– County Champions
Congratulations to our First Year camogie team on capturing the Wexford county title today with a superb 5-3 to 4-4 victory over Coláiste Bríde, Enniscorthy. Some fantastic shots of the game can be seen on our facebook page.
The future of Wexford camogie is certainly bright, with both teams producing a fantastic display of skill, determination and sportsmanship
Teachers vs Students rounders
On Monday we saw our annual Teachers vs Students rounders match, and despite numerous desperate attempts at cheating that would put a certain Manchester soccer club to shame, the teachers emerged as emphatic winners, crushing the students 67–0 to extend their unbeaten record, stretching all the way back to 1927.
Commiserations to the students on a truly humiliating defeat and congratulations to the glorious teachers on a hugely popular victory.
More pictures of the event are available on our facebook page.
Bishop Visit
We were delighted to welcome Bishop Ger Nash and our chaplain Fr Jim Fegan for their annual visit to wish our 6th years well. Bishop Ger spoke to the students about the importance of discovering who you are as a person, how school life contributes to this and about keeping the leaving cert exams in perspective. His visit marks the beginning of a number of events for 6th years, marking their transition from secondary school. Thank you Bishop Ger and Fr Jim.

A bitter sweet ceremony yesterday evening as we bid farewell to our class of 2026. The theme “Reeling in the Years” ensured there wasn’t a dry eye in the church.
