Forty Foot Charity Swim

Pictured above are the staff and students who undertook the Forty Foot sponsored swim at the end of last term to raise funds for St Luke's Cancer Hospital. Well done to all concerned - the final tally will reach almost €3,000!

Library art competition - Form 1, 2

The competition took place just before Christmas and, with a level of creativity rarely seen before, judging must have been difficult. Congratulations to our winners, pictured above right. Their pictures are to the right.

Swimming gold

The Leinster senior schools swimming gala was held on Sunday 11 January at the National Aquatic Centre. The High School was represented by Anne Marie Finn & Eva Barrett (Form 1), Dayna Clegg (Form 2), John Martin & Niamh Murphy (Form 3). All 5 swimmers competed very well making finals and personal best times. The medal winners were Niamh Murphy gold 100m freestyle (intermediate level) & Dayna Clegg gold 100m freestyle, bronze 100m backstroke (junior level) & silver 400m freestyle (open event). We wish all the swimmers every success in the Irish senior schools finals later this month and thank the Parents' Association for their support.
