TYs celebrated National Walking Day and experienced some of Leitrims treasures on Monday morning by hiking up Sliabh an Iarainn to the Mass Rock and visiting the beautiful Pól an Eas waterfall. 
Today we celebrated Aisling’s achievement and two representatives from Farm Peat Project came to the school for the prize-giving event.

Ms Colum’s Ty, 5th Year Agricultural Science and 1st Year Science classes had a very informative visit to the community Garden recently. The group learned about how food is grown at the site in polytunnels and also learned about the extensive work that is being done to encourage biodiversity around our town. They also got a chance to pick some blackberries to make jam in Home Ec class!! Thanks to kay Maguire for facilitating the visit.
The Tys also had a very informative talk and demonstration from local beekeeper, PJ McLoughlin, where the students leaned about the importance of bees in local ecosystems, as well as some of the practicalities involved in keeping bees. A really informative talk.
We would like to congratulate all our leaving cert students on their excellent results and wish them well in their future career paths. We wish to acknowledge both Siomha and Bernard who achieved maximum points this year.
Students, staff and members of our community gathered outside for our flag raising ceremony. We also celebrated our achievement on being the National Winners for the Global Citizenship Energy theme. Special thanks to Mr Mullen, Ms Colum, Ms Cooney & Ms Griffin who coordinate the programme.
TY’s had their Bonding Trip today at Shannon River Adventure Students enjoyed archery, rock climbing, mud sliding, kayaking, pier jumping as well as a number of team games. A great start to what promises to be an action packed TY year! 
One last day behind the front desk
