Lost Property

Many coats, tracksuit tops and school jumpers are being mislaid each day. Please check your daughters' uniforms this weekend, to ensure that they have their name and class on each item. Many of the items being found have no names, or names from children who are no longer in the school. Don’t forget to label their jackets and raincoats too.


 

Active & Wellbeing Week

Wow what an Active & Wellbeing Week the girls had last week! It was action-packed from start to finish. The girls welcomed several sports stars who answered some fantastic questions during the Q and A sessions.


On Fitness Friday the girls wore their Wellbeing T shirts with pride as we sang our theme song for the week, 'You Can Count On Me'.


We couldn’t have offered the array of activities to the girls without the support of our local clubs – Foxcab, Kilmacud Crokes, Granada FC and the FAI coaches, Blackrock College RFC and Southside Sports.


Our teachers went above and beyond as always offering Yoga, Irish Dancing, Basketball and Athletics workshops to the girls throughout the week.


The week was a true celebration of activity and wellbeing.
