On Wednesday, March 16th , students from Ms. Burke's 2nd Year CSPE class were joined by Ms. McNulty's 4th Year Economics class and LRC students with their teacher, Ms. O'Regan and SNA, Siobhán, to plant native Irish trees in the school grounds.
These trees were kindly donated to the Green Schools.

Last Friday, 2A welcomed Cork South-West TD, Holly Cairns to our CSPE class to find out more about her experience as a government TD. This year we are learning about Global Citizenship and how our government works here in Ireland.
We decided we would like to invite Ms. Cairn’s to meet our class as she is local, young and from a farming background. Adam wrote a letter to invite her to our school and we were delighted when she said she could visit. Next, we asked our class which questions they would like to ask and we selected the most popular questions. We set up the room and organised some refreshments.
Adam, Kate, Donagh and Rachel met Ms. Cairns at the office and walked her up to our classroom. Ms. Cairns started off by explaining her role in government and how she became a politician. Then we took turns asking our questions and we had some biscuits and tea.
It was an amazing experience and we learned a lot about how our government works.

Well done to our Show Jumping Team 2022 who competed in the Inter-schools Show Jumping Event and the Individual Show Jumping Event in Maryville Equestrian Centre Cork.
Our young riders and their ponies put in a stellar performance in representing our school.
The school team competition consisted of Niamh O'Reilly, Callum Connolly, Oscar Wycherley and Benjamin Wycherley.
Within this category two rider's jumped 1m and two riders jumped 80cm.
Our individual competitors were Niamh O'Reilly and Ava Collins, both jumping 80cm in a two-phase competition including a timed component.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially our competitor's families who assisted with transportation. A school's equestrian team is unlike any other in a school. Not only does it require fitness and dedication, it also requires a four-legged friend who also needs fitness and looking after.
We hope to see our other competitors with their ponies, in flying form later in the year.
