Thank you to everyone who sponsored students for our annual Student Council 5K. All money raised will go towards our school wellbeing space and library refurbishment.

The school will open for normal classes on Monday November 7th, however planned trips/sports activities for the day have been cancelled.

Well done to the RSC Chess team who came 3rd in division 1 of the Inter Schools championship in the Green Isle hotel in Dublin this week.

Four of our TY students, Andrea, Claire, Kate and Sara got great news on Tuesday getting short listed into the top 30 with the youth connect project which they made a 3 minute video about income inequality. The next stage is voting! This would help them get into the top 15 (our video would be screened in screen one in the savoy cinema then), win the peoples choice award and help us win the best overall video (the prize is a trip to New York!) So we need all the help we can possibly get. On behalf of the team we would encourage you all to vote for us.   If you could spread the word to anyone and everyone by word of mouth, social media etc. to vote for ‘Colour Us Equal’ we would be very appreciative of it. Every vote counts!   Click on the link below and select COLOUR US EQUAL: https://docs.google.com/a/youth-connect.ie/forms/d/1HS0Cc8OFRb0hbb4BRW999E5NSogBCj9Q3kGuxd9rCTo/viewform?embedded=true   Our Video
