Art competition winners

Congratulations to the winners of the annual school art competition 2002-03. 

The rules of the competition are that the winning pictures become the property of the school, are framed by the school and displayed in the buildings. The winning entries can be seen here. Well done to all the other entrants who submitted lovely pictures! These can be reclaimed from the Art rooms.

Why not start painting and planning for the next competition? Entries can be submitted to your Art teacher at any time. The work done for the Junior Certificate is also considered as part of the competition. Thanks to Mrs Larkin and Ms Galligan for their help in organising the competition.

Grant to attend TCD

The Erasmus Smith Trust nominates a pupil each year to receive the John Bennett Fund, a substantial grant towards a former pupil's expenses in attending TCD, intended for someone whose financial circumstances would be considered deserving. Applications should be made to the Principal in writing, explaining the circumstances.

M.A.S.H.

Rehearsals are under way for this year's 5th year play, M.A.S.H. It is a comedy about life in an army hospital during the Korean War. As always, sponsorship would be greatly appreciated. Anyone interested should contact the office at The High School.
