TY:
All TY students participated in a Safe Driving course last week. The course consisted of a practical session in which they learnt various things ranging from how to change a tyre to the effects of being under the influence of alcohol when driving and did some driving. They also sat a mock theory test. Thanks to “Irish Driving School of excellence” for their work.
On Wednesday 14th March TY 1 and TY4 had a retreat in St. Mels College. This was in conjunction with their Alpha course. Thanks to Ms. Bohan and Mr. Staunton for accompanying the students.

Seachtain ng Gaeilge:
Bhíomar ag ceiliúradh seachtaine na Gaeilge an tseachtain seo chaite. Seo a leanas cuid de na himeachtaí a bhí ar siúl. Bhí Tráth na gceist ar siùl ar an Luain ag fiche chun a haon do na scolàirí ar fad. Bhí pop up Gaeltacht ar an Mháirt. Bhí Lá Glas ar an gCéadaoin. B'é buaicphoinnte an lae sin ná agallamh leis an leas phríomhoide. Bhí comortás an lae ar chlár digiteach na ndaltaī. Bhí seisiún ceoil ag am lóin. Ag deireadh an lae fogríodh buaiteoir an chomórtais postaeir. Is ár dteanga í. Bímis brodúil aisti.
Thought for the week:
A Dhia,
Deonaigh dom an suaimhneas, Glacadh leis na rudaí nach féidir liom athrú, Misneach na rudaí a athrú is féidir liom, Agus an gaois an difríocht a aithint.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
