Making the Cut!
S St. Conleth’s sporting roots lie in cricket and the ‘slowest bicycle race’ but we have come on quite a bit since then… including in the GAA: both Gavin Sheridan (2015) and Timea Kovacs (2023) recently started for their respective Dublin Senior Teams, recently. Here are some file photos… including one of Gavin’s starring ‘staff’ […]
MoreCapt. Juliet Leaves on a High!
After that tough, penalty-time Cup loss, it as back to winning ways for St. Conleth’s Hockey! Our Senior Girls won against Our Lady’s Grove 1-0, in a thrilling swansong for our Capt.

MoreIn One, Full Voice
The Annual School Mass, once again, brought together the whole St. Conleth’s community, reminding us of our past and spurring us towards the future, with our Christian ethos essential to us finding the way… starting with the short, but always eventful walk through the Ballsbridge side-streets to St. Mary’s Church on Haddington Rd. Juniors and […]
MoreA Late Result!
An update on those great X-Country results… Our Senior Girls actually finished Fourth in the top grade race (Rebecca McCullough ran for Jane Sweeney) and we see them here with the loping legend Lochlann Hannon and Luc Ween as well as our younger boys teams, in finishing order.

MoreStars of Track and Field
Mr. Shay Keenan started the tradition years ago: circulate amongst the classrooms and plead, harangue and bribe as many students as possible to sign up for the latest ‘Track and Field’ event. And now Mr. Smith, Mr. Weldon and Daniel Stack are continuing the not very selective, selection process: Experienced runners: welcome! Generally fit, average […]

MoreThey Didn’t Run Away…
…but they did join the circus! Yes, the TYs were spared the sneaking out of the bedroom window/shimmying down the drainpipe/hopping on a westwards-bound freight train routine just to join the circus because the circus came to them! See, amongst TY Co-Ordinator Mr. Trenier’s many past occupations was serving as The Tall Man in a […]
MoreYe Auld Enemy…
… and A New Power! Gone are the days when St. Conleth’s hockey teams could sneak up on the overconfident competition and deliver the shocking upset: we are now a recognised hockey ‘power’, ourselves.

MoreA Conlethian Triptych!
Good things also come in threes! We have a trio of upcoming events which should tempt both alumni and parents to come out and gather in camaraderie and cordiality with their fellow Conlethians… especially, as the events start after ‘Dry January’…and you’ll be in the need of a little lift!
