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.

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.
