Well done to our fantastic First Year Debaters who competed against Dunmore Community School in a Friendly recently. They tackled the motion: 'This House believes that young people are being negatively  impacted by distractions in life'. Eight of our students, competing in teams of two, took on Dunmore in a thrilling and impressive display of skill and confidence. Well done to Alannah and Cian who emerged victorious on the day. We are very proud of you all.

Best of luck to our 1st Year Girls soccer team who are competing in the All Ireland Final today in Athlone at 12.30. It can be viewed live using the following link:

Our Transition Year students recently attended the inaugural Connaught TY Show 2026 at the new Dexcom Connaught Grounds on Tuesday, 28th April. The event provided students with an exciting and engaging day focused on future opportunities, personal growth, and new experiences. Throughout the day, students had the chance to meet with a wide range of organisations, explore different career and education pathways, and take part in various activities. 

   

Our TY and Leaving Certificate Applied students enjoyed a recent visit to Emerald Park, where they had a great day out full of fun. Alongside enjoying the attractions, students also attended a business talk on Emerald Park’s marketing and operations, gaining insight into how the park is run.
