Prefects 2004-05

Congratulations to the above who have been elected Prefects for the year 2004-2005:

The system of election for prefects is that they are voted into office by their own year group and the staff, subject to the approval of the Principal. The Principal invites those who have reached the qualifying level of votes to consider the responsibilities and duties attached to being a prefect and confirms appointments in August.

The prefects are responsible for many duties which assist the smooth running of the school and all pupils are expected to cooperate with requests made by prefects.

All Ireland success!

Congratulations to the members of the High School junior girls 4 x 100m relay team which won silver medals at the All-Ireland Athletics finals held at Tullamore, Co Offaly. Leah also won a bronze medal in the junior 100m final.
