Hazelwood TYs enjoying their driving lessons at Munster Driving Campus. A great days learning and a brilliant introduction to safe and responsible driving
Its always great to welcome back past pupils but even more exciting when they arrive through the doors with an armful of cups. Thanks to past students Seamus Flanagan and Padraig Ahern who called to the school with the All-Ireland and Munster Cups that they won in 2017 as part of the Limerick U21 Hurling team.
Great to see our students keeping good company. Second year student Edward O Connor had the honour of catching up with President Michael D Higgins at Liscarroll Races recently.
