Huge congratulations to Edel Daly on qualifying for a place on the National Youth Squad.  This is a huge achievement for which she has worked very hard.  Well done Edel, we are all very proud of you.

Our second class celebrated their First Holy Communion on Saturday 25th April. Thanks to Fr. Michael and his team for the beautiful ceremony.

Well done to everyone who participated in our no uniform day.  €425 was raised for the Little Princess Trust.  Well done also to the two girls who donated their fabulous hair to the trust.  The Little Princess Trust helps directly with children that have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

We were delighted to welcome back a past pupil and BT Young Scientist Winner Shíofra Ryan.  Shíofra was asked to enter the BT Young Scientist in September and came up with the idea of the hurling boot-An Tionchar.  She developed on the idea and brought An Tionchar to the Young Scientist Awards where she was hugely successful, coming second in the Technology Category and Winning the Best Communicator Award.  Shíofra was then chosen as one of thirty to attend the BT Young Scientist Business Bootcamp in UCD.  She pitched her business plan to a panel  of judges and earned herself a scholarship to UL for three weeks in the summer.  Her success didn’t stop here as she also entered this business plan into Enterprise Ireland, coming first in the All-Ireland in April.  We wish Shíofra every success in her future ventures and would like to thank her for sharing her experiences with us all in Killeen.
