1st Year by Jalen and Sean

Over the past week, the First Years had a garden competition in maths where they had to design a garden, and use maths to find the area of some shapes. We also learn about area of squares, triangles, rectangles, even circles, and more! Unfortunately though, they swapped out STEAM for the garden project.

As of the time of writing, (27/3/2026,) we have our Easter break tomorrow! It is 2 weeks. Then after that (plus a few days), we have our Carlingford trip on April 23rd which will be really fun for us first years and our first school trip in secondary school! Nice.

They had an assessment week too, and it was their first week with our choice subjects! Other than that, not much else happened.

2nd Year by Sam, Cathal and Callum

We have finished our march assessments, they were a very though time as they were very difficult. However all the 2nd years did very well on our tests

Arthur Kenevey and Mohdlskandar MohdSyafiz went to the pi quiz, they did very well with our school getting place ranging from 1st to 15th.

Our trip to Belfast is coming up soon, it’s 23rd and 24th it’s the week after we come back from our Easter break which lasts for two weeks. All the 2nd years going to Belfast are very exited with us doing many activities, there is so many of us going we are being split up into two groups 

Our AP classes have done our auditions for our teacher who will decide which team will go to the Abbey Theatre just after the break so far we don’t know who is going but we know a group from each 2nd year class is going which results in 5 groups going to the Abbey Theatre 

There hasn’t been a lot in the this term for 2nd year but there was still some stuff that was really cool

Transition Year

The musical Footloose was presented by the transition years on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The musical went great on all nights and the work put in by the transition years was greatly appreciated through the skilful acting, beautiful decorations, and a great backstage crew which controlled music, sound and organised quick scene changes. A special shout out goes to Sinead and all of the drama department who made this musical a reality.

5th Year by Daniel

For this term, the 5th years were able to go to Google to learn about jobs in the female industry and how people got to the positions they are in now. We also learnt a lot about AI and how it works. We also had our February exams.
