Spooky Outings for Transition Year

Our TY pupils had a great night last weekend when they travelled to an unknown location in Co. Meath for some scary set pieces...

Many thanks to Mr. Ted Sherwood who organised the whole affair and who took the photos below, where thankfully everyone  looks relatively calm and content!

We're off for half term for the coming week, returning on Sunday night for boarders and Monday morning for day pupils but there may well be a post here at S's and D's between now and then.

Junior Cert Celebration Day - Photo Slideshow

Below are a series of photos, taken by Transition Year pupil Christina Alvarez, of the Junior Certificate celebration day reported on earlier this month by Sadhbh Sheeran.

TY Hike - A Few Photos

Yesterday's TY hike in the hills directly behind the college was blessed with perhaps the finest day so far this September. The views afforded by such a clear day from Fairy Castle were breath taking. To the north the city sprawled away, in the bay the tide was low but sailing races were clear to see off Dun Laoghaire, round to Killiney hill, Bray Head, the two Sugarloafs (Little and Big) and on to Maulin, Djouce, War Hill and the mast on Kippure.

Many of the hikers took photos so these are just an initial smattering and we hope to post a pupil report on the walk soon.

A brief rest while stragglers catch up, yes there were some stragglers!
