Open Night 2025
Thank you to everyone who visited our Open Night last night as well as all the student volunteers and teachers who did an excellent job representing the school. Comments and feedback from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, a reflection of all the hard work that has gone into preparing for the night over the past few weeks. We were delighted to welcome over 600 sixth and fifth class pupils to see our facilities and meet members of our school community.

Goals from Meabh Hegarty and Heidi O’Shea sealed the victory. The team now progresses to the next round of the cup.
Football
Our Junior Football team kicked off their Leinster Championship campaign on Wednesday with a home fixture against Coláiste Bhríde Carnew. Despite a strong performance in a highly competitive game, the girls were narrowly defeated on a 4-10 to 3-10 scoreline.
Next up is Round 2, where the girls will take on Gorey CS away in two weeks’ time. Hard luck today, girls – plenty more football to come!
