The TY and 5th year group had a lovely day out in Glasnevin cemetery on Friday 16th of September. The students were given a very interesting tour of the cemetery's famous historical figures such as Parnell, De Valera and Michael Collins. Here are some of the students pictured in Daniel O'Connell's crypt which is adorned by the fabulous round tower built to commemorate 'The Liberator'.

Best wishes to former student Cormac Haslem and current Leaving Cert student Sean Raftery in the All Ireland Minor Final on Sunday. It is great to see our school represented on such a big occasion and we hope the the lads do the business and bring home the Tommy Markham Cup to Galway.
