Dia dhaoibh. Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge linn anois agus tá na bloggirls ar bís! Táimid ag ceiliúradh gach rud Gaelach! Táimid ag ceiliúradh ár n-oidhreacht náisiúnta, cultúr agus teanga. Bígí páirteach sa spraoi ag labhairt ár dteanga aon uair gur féidir libh. Is leatsa í, bainigí usáid aisti!

Today, 6^th March, is World Book Day. In commemoration of World Book Day the Second Year students have set up a project called ‘Book Speed-Dating’ for the First Years. For this project, all of the 2A1 class read a book each and all of the 1A1 class went in at lunch time at 1:30 for 10 or 20 minutes and got to hear about some of the books that the students had read. A few of the teachers participated also. All in all, it was a very enjoyable project that would be very fun to try again in the near future.

Best wishes to Laura Ward, Niall Harvey and Ben Dorgan who all run in the Schools All-Ireland Cross Country in Cork on Saturday

There’s a No Uniform Day tomorrow in aid of the Sixth Year Debs so if you want to ditch the school uniform for a day, bring in your €2!

Hard luck to Anna McHugh, Niamh Chapman and Emily Mulhall who lost in the semi-final of their Irish debate. The girls preformed extremely well and we’re very proud to have them representing our school.
