Good evening all, we are all hoping for a lovely la Fheile Padraig on this coming Sunday. Students and staff enjoyed a raucous cheile in the school hall this afternoon. Much craic agus cainte was had by all, thanks to our brave 6th Years and Irish teachers who led the dance.
Our wonderful Chamber and TY choir will be participating in the Emmanuel’s concert tomorrow in the Helix concert hall, DCU. It is a great occasion and well worth going to see. Our students will be joining hundreds of other students from around Dublin to perform a selection of songs. If you would like to go tickets can be bought at thehelix.ie.15 euro per adult and 10 per child.
