TY Book Launch

 Well done to some of our TY Students, who officially became writers, after their short stories were published, in the book ‘Inficted World’s Colide’. A super achievement by those involved.
 
A big thank you to Mark Davidson and all the staff at the ‘Fighting Words’ centre, whose support, encouragement, advice and mentoring, helped them get this project over the line. 
 
For more information, please see the following link, where the book can also be purchased:

3rd Year JCSP Graduation

We celebrated our third years’ JCSP Graduation last Thursday!

Each student received a portfolio of their work in recognition of reaching the end of their JCSP (Junior Cycle Schools Programme) journey.

The JCSP programme supports students by providing additional learning opportunities and experiences that complement their Junior Cycle subjects. Over the years, students have taken part in storytelling, reading and numeracy challenges, music making, coding, artists in the classroom, and a wide range of STEAM activities

Our students have:
Held a python
Listened to stories about alligators
️ Researched the history of the streets around our school’s Dublin 1 neighbourhood
Created and published their own books

We are so proud of all they have achieved. Wishing our students the very best in their Junior Cycle exams and in the exciting years ahead

A huge thank you to our teachers, SNAs, and librarians for creating such a warm and welcoming library space and for helping make the JCSP Graduation so special ️
