Some photos of our 5th and 6th year LCPE students who attended the Leaving Certificate PE Applied Learning Experience Event in MTU, Tralee. Students had workshops from former Limerick GAA S&C coach Joe O’Connor and Kerry footballer Fionn Fitzgerald. They also had lectures with Irish Women’s rugby captain Ciara Griffin, and Dr. Karen Weekes who became the first Irish female to row 3000 miles solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
2E English class created fantastic bookmarks to mark World Book Day 2023. Well done to Leah Ryan and Margaret White who came 1st & 2nd in the competition. Great work everyone.
This week we marked Safer Internet Day in our school. Classes completed lessons on Internet safety and keeping themselves and others safe online. First years then attended a talk given by Georgie from Cybersafe kids , they learned a lot about how to protect themselves online, they also took part in a poster competition on Internet safety and took part in monitoring their screens time survey. We hope that this week has given students an insight into the importance of Internet safety.

Wishing all of our school community a happy and a peaceful message. We would love to share this lovely Christmas message penned by our talented Ms Davis ! Artwork by Ella Dowling, 1st year
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Yet all through the house the WiFi did reach
And lit up their faces on one gadget each!
The teenagers faces aglow from their screens
Were scrolling their iphones’ nativity scenes
Only fingers were moving second by second
As online treats flashed up and many more beckoned.
And others watched films whilst their tablets they gripped,
While from a can red bull was silently sipped.
Others gripped handsets, pressed buttons with speed
Fighting a battle in Assassin’s Creed.
The young ones played Fifa and dreamed up a team
Whilst baubles and trinkets around them did gleam
Yet the tree stood alone, decorations ignored
While the fairy atop looked lonely and bored.
The presents lay silently wrapped up in bows
But still they held miniature screens to their nose!
The Christmas crib figures, in festive tableau
Outdone by the devices ‘ flickering glow.
The wise Kings said sadly “But we’ve come from afar,
All because angels said follow a star!”
The Sugar Plum Fairy said “Why do I bother,
If people can’t even look up at each other”
And Santa says, nodding, “I know what you’re saying,
I’ve spent the last 24 hours sleighing!”
But Santa as always had just the answer
And whispered his thoughts to Rudolph and Prancer..
That night when they landed on every roof
The WiFi connection was stamped with a hoof!
And inside those faces all looked up in fear
And slowly remembered the day of the year.
Looking around them, and blaming the weather,
Ditching their gadgets, spent Christmas together!
1st Years busy using Oreo cookies to explain Plate Tectonics in Geography. Great work guys.
