Week 22

Friday 28th February 2025

Hello There!

My goodness – the end of February and thankfully, the weather has been fairly mild this week.  Lovely to see.  Tomorrow we welcome Mindful March.  Let’s pause, breathe and notice, so we can respond more mindfully.

So, what was the buzz this week.  Well, I must commend Year 11 on their positive attitude and performance during two x GCSE Science Modular Exams.  Another hurdle covered, and we are confident they will receive positive results.

Year 12 had positive discussions re Post 16 Study and future pathways on Wednesday.  It was reassuring to see so many students interested in returning to study A Levels and be supported by parents/carers and staff. Of course, obtaining those desirable grades at A*-C is the priority.  Hard work always pays off in the end and you will see this in your results in August. Good luck Year 12. You will smash it!

The interior of our new build is progressing well.  There are so many decisions to be made at this stage – final colours, door signs, handles, subject areas, and also the type of furniture in each room. It is non-stop but very exciting.  Hopefully we’ll have some new drone footage to show you soon.

The Business Club were hard at their work again this week – designing the Leaver tops for Year 12 and 14.  We are so looking forward to the final design.

If you are looking for an evening of entertainment, I can definitely recommend Friday 4th April Songs of Hope and Inspiration showcasing the wonderful Malachy Cush, Karl Mc Guckin and Holy Trinity College Music Department.  The concert will be held in Holy Trinity Church, with all proceeds going to our new school build via the Holy Trinity Foundation Board.

Football and Hurling were well on the agenda this week and now with a stretch in the evenings, it is great to see these sports back in action. Well done everyone.

It’s Assessment Week beginning Monday 3rd March – a little extra revision never did anyone any harm. Work hard and be proud of your success

Enjoy your weekend.
