Well done to all who took part in 'Stand Up Awareness Week' from 13th-17th November, 2017 in SPHE class. It is one of the largest anti-bullying weeks in schools.
Participating also helps to meet the requirements of the Department of Education’s Anti-Bullying Procedures. It is a great opportunity to discuss what it means to be LGBTI, the challenges and the devastating impact homophobic bullying can have on students.

Cork Film Festival: Mardi, le 14 novembre, les élèves d'études linguistiques and culturelles sont allés à Cork pour regarder le film français 'Ma vie de Courgette'. C'est un film animé qui raconte l'histoire d'un garçon (qui s'appelle Courgette) qui doit aller vivre dans un orphelinat après quelques événements tragiques dans la vie. Là, il rencontre d'autres jeunes qui l'aident et le soutiennent. C'est un film de grande importance culturelle française. Après, les élèves ont eu une heure pour manger et pour faire un peu de shopping. Tout le monde s'est bien amusés.
The school community wishes the best of luck to those 5th year students who have made a film for this year’s Euroscola competition. They are in with a chance to win a trip to Strasbourg.
Well done to Muirios Waugh who directed the film and to Niamh Lynch who was the assistant director. A huge amount of work went into this to research “why young people vote in the European elections”.
Well done to the following students who feature in the clip: Jemma Barrett, Eimear Collins, Daniel McCarthy, John McCarthy, Kate O’Connell and Katie Cronin.
