A huge congratulations to Bobby Reid, who finished 2nd in the Minor category, helping the Minor team to an excellent 2nd place overall.
Well done also to Ronan Ryan, who claimed 2nd place in the Senior category, with the Senior team finishing 2nd overall.
An outstanding team effort all round 👏
Best of luck to all the lads representing us at the East Munsters in SETU next Thursday. 🍀

As part of Wellbeing, our 1st Year students explored neurodiversity, gaining insight into autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Tourette’s.

If your improvement targets were a playlist…woul $If your improvement targets were a playlist…would they actually help you progress?Using your SSE Feedback Tracker is about more than hitting play — it’s about choosing the right tracks. 🎯 Quality feedback deserves quality targets. The best targets are: ✔ specific ✔ clear ✔ focused on one skill or topic ✔ easy to act on 🎶 Your “Improvement Targets 2026” playlist should sound more like: ✅ “Practise algebraic fractions — 10 questions, twice a week” not ❌ “Revise maths” and ✅ “Use PIE structure in my paragraphs” not ❌ “Improve English” 📘 Students: use your Feedback Tracker to turn comments into clear next steps. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents: ask your child what’s on their improvement playlist — not just the subject. Vague targets don’t move the needle. Clear targets change the track. 💪 #SSE #FeedbackTracker #ImprovementTargets #StudySmart #GrowthMindset #ImprovementPlaylist #2026Goals$

A fantastic day out for our U14s at the Munster Ru

A fantastic day out for our U14s at the Munster Rugby Blitz in Fethard 💪🏉
Four games, four wins — a superb team performance. Outstanding tries from several players and valuable game time gained by others, showing great depth across the squad. A lovely bunch of lads who represented themselves and the school brilliantly. Well done to all involved! 👏

On Thursday, January 15th, our TY students attende

On Thursday, January 15th, our TY students attended the Revive Conference at the SETU Arena.
The day was filled with prayer, engaging activities, uplifting music and plenty of fun. Now in its second year, the conference once again proved to be a memorable experience, with Fr John Harris delivering an inspiring keynote address.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the day, and for many it was a truly unique and meaningful experience. We are especially proud to have 30 students taking part in the John Paul II Awards this year as they work towards achieving their Gold Award 🙏✨
Well done to all involved!

Unfortunately our U17s bowed out of the Munster Ju

Unfortunately our U17s bowed out of the Munster Junior Cup today after a narrow 2–1 defeat to Carrigaline.
The lads were unlucky to come out on the wrong side of a very even contest, producing some excellent passages of intricate play throughout. We conceded five minutes before half-time but responded superbly just 90 seconds later, with Alfie Ryan firing home the equaliser.
Despite creating several good chances in the second half, we couldn’t find the breakthrough and were punished when Carrigaline scored on the break.
Huge credit to the team for battling right to the final whistle, with standout performances from Daniel Doyle, Anderson Dube and Sean Lyons Mullan.
Well done to the entire squad on a tremendous season, and best of luck to those making the step up to U19 schools football next year 👏⚽

A lovely way to start the day for some of our 5th

A lovely way to start the day for some of our 5th & 6th year students.

This morning we were delighted to acknowledge a group of our 5th and 6th year students with a special breakfast in recognition of the number of positive points they have earned since the start of the year.

These points reflect consistent effort, positive behaviour and the valuable contribution these students make to our school community every day. It’s important that hard work, kindness and commitment don’t go unnoticed, and today was a small way of saying well done and thank you for your efforts.

We are very proud of you all, keep setting the standard

Well done to the De La Salle College panel on thei
