Congratulations to Savine Keaveney, Ella Grogan and Tracey Gillooly who made it to the Final 15 in the John Hooper National Maths Competition held by the CSO annually. They received an Order of Merit for their Project entitled “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!”. A wonderful achievement out of 258 projects entered nationwide.

They looked at the effects a sports injury has on teenager’s sports ability, social and mental health.

They will attend an Awards ceremony in Croke Park next October and their project can be found on the CSO website. https://www.cso.ie/en/interactivezone/competitionsandawards/johnhooper/

A group of TY students travelled to the Convention Centre, Dublin on Saturday 20th April to sing at the 180th anniversary celebrations of SVP in Ireland. Our school was invited to perform in front of a packed auditorium along with four other schools from other regions of Ireland. They sang the song Lean On Me, accompanied by Ms. O Flanagan on guitar. 
Keynote speakers on the day included Mary Robinson (former President of Ireland) and Kevin Cunningham (lecturer in politics in TU, Dublin & founder of Ireland Thinks). The MC for the event was Marty Whelan.  
Our students were treated to a delicious meal and goodie bag. Well done to TY our students on their fantastic performance, a very memorable day was had by all.

On Saturday, March 9, three students, Alfie Dowling (First Year), Beth O’Mahony (Second Year) and Hazel McGuire (Second Year) competed in the All-Ireland Cross-Country Final in Tymon Park in Tallaght in Dublin. All three students displayed exceptional endurance and had strong races, featuring well up the field.

Beth said “I think I ran well and the experience and atmosphere is always nice at All-Irelands”, while Hazel said, “I was happy with my performance and pace and it was a great experience that I enjoyed very much”. Alfie, new to Post-Primary School Cross-Country, is showing wonderful talent and this is the start of a bright future in running for him. Congratulations to all three students!
