New Tablets and Speakers
The school received 20 new Lenovo tablets and speakers yesterday which will be a huge help in implementing our new Digital Learning Plan. Huge thanks to Eddie and Hilary from Dublin Lions Club who secured funding from ESB Aid for the tablets. We will use them for Accelerated Reading and in all classes for digital learning. The boys were delighted to receive them and can’t wait to start working with them.

Gaelic Football Champions in Croke Park!!
Our school Gaelic Football team won their Final in Croke Park to cue wild celebrations. This win was based on brilliant teamwork, effort, skill and heart. The boys showed great courage to hang on for the victory as they came under huge pressure towards the end versus a strong St Mary’s, Lamb’s Cross team.
Daragh was excellent in goal, Murphy a colossus at the back, Lucas an artful dodger in the middle and Luke H an ace poacher up top. Jack B was tenacious in defence, Sean a pest all over the park and Darragh a brilliant ball carrier. Cameron and Stephen attacked with aplomb and scrapped for every ball. Brandon, Daniel and Jamie tackled like demons, Jack O’S popped over a beauty and Jason and Luke C ran themselves into the ground. Joe, Craig and Harry got a run-out on the hallowed turf, as would Sean DM have done if the referee had not blown up early. Calum got the winning goal and then there was Josh; just the 2-4 from centre-half-back. When he hits the ball it stays hit!
It was a wonderful win and one the boys will never forget in the sunshine in Croker. Well done boys. You made us very proud.
Sam Maguire came to our school.
Dublin All-Ireland winner Brian Howard brought the Sam Maguire Cup into the school today and most of our boys went to the school hall to see the cup and ask Brian some great questions about his sporting career. After 4 years in Dublin, Sam Maguire has picked up a Dublin accent but says that he expects to head to Galway in 2019!!
