All 1st, 2nd and 3rd Year students took part this morning in a ‘Drop Everything and Read’ Challenge to promote literacy and bring back the joy of reading. A challenge in itself to get over 25 classes to drop everything at the same time, but it was a great success.
Well done and a massive thanks to our 6th Year student, Sherwan Almohamad who has been helping to improve the Foyer area of our school. He’s seen here showcasing his work on our diversity wall, which was part of our recent wellbeing initiative.
Our Transition Year students recently visited Ballyhass Adventures, where they fearlessly threw themselves into activities including ziplining, archery and axe-throwing! A great way to get to know their new classmates!
