TY Exchange Trip

After consultation with the Principal the TY exchange trip was changed from Holland to France to help students in their study of the language. The school provided the students with extra tuition in conversational Frenc to prepare them for their trip.

Law Day

Mr. Paul Mc Cormack of the Parents Association Committee was actively involved in coaching the school's law day team for the World Law Day competition held last October in New York.

School Bags

As a result of parents concerns regarding the weight of school bags, the school is currently looking at ways of reducing the number of books students carry to and from school. This will see the book rental scheme become available to 1st., 2nd. and 3rd. years for the next academic year and the availability of school books via computer discs for use at home.

Career Guidance

As a result of a request from the  Parents Association a Career Guidance and CAO/UCAS information evening was held for 5th. and 6th. year students.

A Careers Day for 4th. and 5th. year students will take place in the school on May 20th.
