TY students Calista Vaz, Maeve Fernandes and Helloyse Santos Bello were invited to DCU for the finals of the DCU Polyglot Challenge 2026. Finalists were treated to workshops in Kung Fu and Salsa dancing. Congratulations to all TYs involved in making our video translating an idiom into as many languages as possible. Well done!
Last night a selection of our students honoured at the TAP Awards in Trinity College Dublin
We are incredibly proud to celebrate their hard work, determination, and achievements. These awards recognise not only academic success, but also resilience, commitment, and the positive impact our students make within the community.
Congratulations to all of the award recipients, a fantastic achievement and a very well-deserved recognition.
️️ Sixty TY students and staff had the opportunity to attend the play Miasma – a gripping one-hour detective story exploring the fight against the cholera pandemic, at the James Joyce Centre on North Great George’s Street, Dublin 1.
️️ The play was staged so that our students were very close to the actors, which made for a very special experience for our students. This proximity allowed the students to closely watch the actors’ expressions and movements, to clearly hear the words spoken in Dickensian era English and to absorb the costumes and props used.
️️A fascinating mix of history, science and storytelling that brought the past to life!
The librarian was contacted by Caitlin White, Education & Outreach Manager at University College Dublin to invite our students along. The playwright Colin Murphy was there on the day and spoke to our students after the play. He spoke about the themes, and his writing experience and process.
Fantastic Crochet Workshop! Mrs Hassan, the mother of one of our students, did a crochet workshop with students and worked with them to make crocheted hair ties/ scrunchies.
Mrs Hassan is a brilliant instructor and our students picked up crochet skills really quickly and made some great pieces.
We are very grateful to her and for the beautiful crocheted gift she made for us.
