On Sunday October 15th our new Jubilee Building was opened. A mass of thanksgiving was celebrated by Monsignor Paul Callan and this was followed by an Open Day when all were welcome to visit the school and view our impressive new facilities. It was a very exciting day for the school and for all involved in putting this project together. It was lovely to see so many past and present pupils with their parents and also to welcome prospective new students.
Congratulations to our Concern Debating Team who beat St. Michael’s College in their debate on Wednesday 25th October. The motion before the house was, ‘For women to access leadership positions, gender quotas must be implemented’. Kate Eustace (Captain), Maggie O’Gorman, Anne-Marie Kinsella and Lana Fitzgerald opposed this motion.
On Sunday 22nd of October five of our Class 5 girls swam in the Leinster Minor Schools Swimming Gala in the National Aquatic Centre.
