Schedule week of 7/4/25

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Our TY students will be returning to school tomorrow from their Camino de Santiago tour. Completing this pilgrimage is an incredible achievement at their age, demonstrating resilience, teamwork, and personal growth. We are so proud of their accomplishment and huge thanks to Mr. Smith, Ms. Hickey, Ms. Madden, and Ms. Aldous for accompanying and supporting them throughout this journey.

Good luck to our LC students who sit their ART and MUSIC Practicals tomorrow.  Also, all those preparing for orals in Irish and Modern Foreign Languages-commencing Saturday 12th.

Hard luck to the 2nd Year Basketball Girls who were narrowly defeated in the Galway final last week, as well as to our 1st Year Hurling and 1st Year Camogie teams who were defeated in the Connacht finals.  A great achievement nonetheless reaching a final.

Good luck to our U16 Boys Basketball Team in the Connacht final today at 12:45 PM in NUIG Kingfisher, Galway, and to our Junior Rugby Team in their final this Wednesday at 12:00 PM in Ballinasloe RFC.

We are also pleased to inform you that the 3rd and 6th Year results have been published. If you have any queries, please contact the Year Heads – 6th Year Mr. Fallon, 3rd Year Ms. Fogarty, or our Academic Director Ms. Kelly.
