National Walk to School Week takes place this year from September 19th – 23rd 2022. This week is all about celebrating walking as a positive mode for school journeys. In this school all students walk through the gate to school. But quite a number of you are dropped at the gate. We are asking all students to walk at least 500m to the school gate. As the driver has to make this journey twice per day, you will be saving them 2km per day (10km per week). You will also be making the school gate area a much safer environment with less traffic and less fumes.

Congratulations to Mozidah Abudulsalamm and Ruby Byrne on their stunning performances in the Dublin City Junk Kouture Final. Mozidah’s moving interpretation of her team’s InnerConeFidence concept drew an emotive response from the audience, brilliantly contrasted by Ruby’s dynamite crowd thriller that was singled out for praise from judge Roz Purcell.
A big thank you to their stand-in team mates Anna Brady and Millie-Sue Robinson for their endless energy and spirit and to Emma Carroll, Orla Mahon and Aine McCarthy and the model’s families for their vocal support on the night. And a special thank you to Ms. Gallagher for her all her help and expert insight as a former finalist and Junk Kouture enthusiast.
Though neither design made the judges final selection of nine entries for the inaugural World Final, they do have one more chance in the public Wildcard vote. You can catch the girls’ knockout performances in an upcoming highlights show on RTE2 and RTE Player on Thursday 19th May at 7pm, after which viewers can vote to send one more design to the World Final in Abu Dhabi.
The Portmarnock Community School swimming team put on an impressive performance at the Newpark Swimming Gala on Thursday. In the 6-School competition, our 25 student-strong team entered nearly every event, with 1st Year, 2nd Year, 3rd Year, and senior students participating in frontcrawl, backcrawl, and breastroke events, as well as relays. Students took home 33 gold medals, 27 silvers, and 9 bronze to finish in 2nd place overall, placing just after the host school, winning 9 individual races and most of the junior and senior relays. The day finished out with some fun relays, where all members of the team got a chance to show off their skill.
A big congratulations to the whole team from Mr O’Brien and Ms. Gallagher!
