Basketball victory

The High School Minor team took on St Laurence’s in the South Dublin League Final on Wednesday 20th April.

At the end of a tense first quarter, we just held the lead 4-1 with baskets from Aoife Gordon and Stefanie Lodola. The girls continued to up their game with another basket each from Richelle McDonnell and Molly Hughes, and a six and seven point contribution respectively from Aoife Gordon and Sarah Burns. Final score 21-9 to High School.

Aoife Gordon was deservedly awarded the M.V.P. - Most Valuable Player.

Well done to all the team on a great win.

Greenschools can recycling scheme

As part of the ongoing Greenschools initiative, the committee is introducing can recycling in the school. We hope this will be as successful as the paper recycling has been. Please show your support for the project by using the can recycling bins you will see dotted around the school. We hope everyone will help protect the environment and create a cleaner school atmosphere by getting involved. We are also hoping to organise a spring clean very soon with more details in the coming weeks.
