Students visited the local church and lit candles as part of this year’s Catholic Schools Week theme ‘walk together in faith and love’. They also created appreciation cards for their grandparents. Thanks to the RE Department for organising the activities.
to 2nd yr student Lindel Moran who was awarded U14 County Player of the Year at the recent Leitrim Ladies GFA awards night. Well done Lindel 
Thanks to Music Generation Leitrim who delivered a very enjoyable bucket drumming workshop to class 1B and the Ty class in the Island Theatre recently. Both groups really enjoyed the workshop. A great lesson in the importance of cohesive teamwork!
The Tys had a well -deserved trip to Dublin ice-skating and shopping after a hectic few weeks in the build up to the variety concert. they first went to Swords for Ice-skating and back to Blanchardstown to get some last minute Christmas shopping done. An enjoybale end to a busy term.
Our School Variety Concert made a welcome return again this Christmas, on December 15th and 16th in the fabulously refurbished Island theatre. It’s been 5 years since our last concert, and the students and staff made a massive effort to make this year’s shows a reality.
We had almost 700 audience members watch three different shows with over 200 performers. A great success.
Massive thanks to all the staff and students who took part in any way; to the Island Theatre for hosting the shows, and to all our wonderful local sponsors who sponsored so many very generous spot prizes for the raffles.
We are asking all in our school community to check around your houses for old batteries to give to students to bring in and dispose of in any of the blue battery boxes around the school. WEEE Ireland will then be disposing of them safely. 
If you have any unwanted clothing items we are also doing a clothing collection this week (see the flyer for times we are collecting from). All the clothing collected is going to a company called All Tex and money raised from this initiative we will be giving to charity.
