The Parents’ Association are having a pre-owned uniform and book sale in the school on 25th June from 10AM – 1PM. We are particularly looking for uniforms in good condition.

We would ask that if parents have uniforms, that they wish to donate and books (for the current curriculum only please – if unsure please check booklist), they can drop them into the collection boxes outside the School-office as soon as possible.

The Transition-year Evening took place recently during which all students were presented with their certificates to mark the end of the year, which was a great success. We were particularly gratified by the many comments from parents who saw their child make great use of the opportunities afforded by the TY programme. Chloe Carolan was declared Student of the Year. There are many more photos in the photo-stream on the right (photo-credit: Mr. Conroy).
