6th Class Tour

This year saw the return of the 6th Class Tour. The boys, along with teachers Ms. Sharon McAdoo, Mr. Steven Lynch and Mr. Ger Buckley departed Wellington Road in the early hours of Friday 13th May and made their way to Belfast. It was a packed itinerary and a fabulous time was had by all.

*Full tour report by one of our 6th Class students to follow.

Blessed Edmund Rice

Staff and students celebrated the feast day of the Blessed Edmund Rice last week. Each morning we join together to say the Edmund Rice Prayer as part of our morning prayers and Thursday was no different. We spent some time thinking about Edmund Rice and giving thanks for his life and work. In class, we learned more about the life and work of Blessed Edmund and students worked on artwork to celebrate this.

STEM in 5th Class

Fifth Class had great fun exploring physics and engineering on Monday. Having heard about the ongoing Winter Olympics they were eager to get on the slopes themselves for a speed and distance challenge. See some of our creations below.
Well done to Dónal Hegarty, Jack O’Shea and Ben Dolan who won the speed race with their creation and Killian McCarthy, Jack Watson and Matthew Keane who came out on top of the distance challenge.
