Well done to the U15 Boys Rugby Team and their coach, Mr.Paul Crosse on their exceptional performance at the Munster School's Ruby Blitz in Independent Park yesterday. In the first game they drew 1 -1 with the eventual winners, De La Salle Waterford. S.C.S then went on to record wins over Kenmare, Carrigaline and Blarney. They finished joint top of their group with Waterford but they went through on "more tries scored". Well done to Mr. Crosse and his team for doing their school so proud. Thanks to Mr. Chris O Brien,  for accompanying the team and to all the parents who travelled.

Coding like a Girl Global Programme, March 19th-March 23rd.

Fifteen TY Students took part in Vodafone's Global Coding Programme for Girls which took place in the Ludgate Centre last week. 

The workshops took place over the course of one week and the girls were taught by Vodafone employees. The hope was that the project would give female students a good enough foundational knowledge of development programmes and computer languages so that they can build a website upon completion.

Many thanks to the team in the Ludgate Centre for the invite. The Girls really appreciated this incredible opportunity.
