Let Programme
Some of our 1st year students accompanied by Ms Cawley have just returned from their second trip to the Share Centre in Co. Fermanagh as part of the LET Programme. The programme is a cross border project with our school linked with two schools from Northern Ireland. Students took part in a range of business exercises including money management and budgeting as well as a number of outdoor activities. They really enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to their third and final trip in March.
School tour to Rome
After much planning the departure date for our tour to Rome is fast approaching. We plan to depart on Feb 9th 2012 for 3 nights. During our trip away we plan to take in all the sights in Rome, a day trip to Mount Vesuvius and the city of Pompeii. We also plan to take in a Serie A match, a pizza making class and a trip to the catacombs.

Boys County Gaelic match
On Friday 13th Jan, four of our senior boys travelled to Riverstown GAA park to play with Sligo County VEC schools team in a game against Leitrim. Cormac Hallinan played a good game at wing back, while Storm Mc Donald played at centre back for the first half of the game. Barry Gillespie and Gavin Kupczak were among the subs on the day. Leitrim won the game with 3 points to spare.
