Over 100 of our Transition Year and 5th Year students recently took part in a fantastic few days in Carlingford this week as part of their Gaisce – The President’s Award journey. The trip was the culmination of months of dedication, and the students rose to the challenge with great enthusiasm and determination.

Our Bronze Award students completed a 25km hike through scenic trails, while our Silver Award students pushed themselves even further, covering an impressive 50km. The adventure wrapped up on a high note with a fun-filled morning at Skypark, where students enjoyed a variety of exciting outdoor activities.

Gaisce is a year-long commitment that encourages personal growth, resilience, and leadership. Throughout the year, our students have taken on new challenges—from developing new skills, to volunteering in the community, to coaching sports and more. Well done to everyone who took part!

SciFest Success for First Year Student

A huge well done to First Year student Akshaya Upadhyay, who proudly represented our school at SciFest in DKIT yesterday. Akshaya has shown incredible dedication and determination over the past number of weeks, putting in countless hours of preparation in the lead-up to the competition. Her hard work paid off as she presented her project with great confidence and clarity to the panel of judges. Well done Akshaya.
