Congratulations to Rachel Alexander, Sophie Reilly, Barry Stratford, Kelvin McNally and Lloyd Hastings on being one of six finalists in the Certified Irish Angus Beef School’s Competition.

The students traveled to Cahir in Tipperary yesterday to meet their five calves which they will receive at the ploughing championships in September. The students will then rear the calves for 18 months under their given theme “The value of Irish Angus in Production System’s” until slaughter. The final of the competition will be held in spring 2020.

Congratulations to Favour Ajogbe and Jodie Olujitan, who received certificates for their poetry entries. Well done Girls!

The Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs & Trade, Mr Simon Coveney T.D., has announced dedicated funding for the provision of modern PE Hall facilities in a number of post-primary schools in the border region one of which being our school.

These schools serve border communities and the lack of adequate PE facilities for the children attending these schools has been raised in the context of the Government’s ongoing engagement with minority communities in the border region, particularly in isolated rural areas.
