The 6th Year Guidance Talk scheduled for Monday November 11th has been postponed until further notice.

The Parents’ Association has asked that we bring a talk to the attention of Leaving Certificate parents / guardians…this evening is designed to assist Leaving Certificate parents and provide practical advice on how to maximise success as their children approach the Leaving Cert…Full details here.

We were proud to have two past-pupils, Shane Carthy and Kevin O’ Brien, on the Dublin All-Ireland Football panel last September when they won the All-Ireland Football-final. The Sam Maguire will be brought to the school Friday next to mark the occasion.

There is a full TY update in the drop-down menu above, including application procedures for ComputeTY (DCU, 30 places only) and the Irish Beaver Computing Contest (online). Both events offer certification that may be useful for certain third-level application procedures.

Good luck to Sixth-year student, Jennifer O’ Keeffe, who represents Ireland, this week, in the World Karate Championships in Guadalahara, Spain (Images: Official National Amateur Karate Association of Ireland and the North County Leader).

TY students recently did a week long training in the Dublin Fire Brigade Training Centre, Marino. The course was delivered by Vincent Carroll and Mark Willson.

The course was run from 9.30 to 4pm each day it was very intensive and students were given a good grounding in fire safety, first principles at an accident scene, CPR, how to use a defibrillator and an advanced First-aid course.

Well done to all the students for their commitment to the course over mid term and sincere thanks to Mark, Vincent and Dublin Fire Brigade for their time and the use of their excellent training facilities (Image: Dublin Fire Brigade Images in Photo-stream from Fiachra Verjans MacDermott).
