Champions d’Irlande!
Yes, our very own ‘Alliance Française’ of Ms. Crowley and Mr. Porzadny, professeur émérite, led the St. Conleth’s French Debating team to victory in the Alliance Française Joutes Oratoires National Final! Anna Carroll, Jane Sweeney, Hannah Murphy and Ann O’Keeffe wowed the crowd arguing on the motion that ‘que le meilleur gagne’… but things certainly […]
MoreThey Grow Up So Fast!
Just ask Daniel Karas’s fencing opponents! This past weekend, the East of Ireland Open 2026, a major senior fencing competition, took place in Ireland, featuring some of the strongest fencers in the country. And, at just 14-years-old, Daniel was the youngest participant — but that didn’t stop him from achieving a great result. He won […]
MoreFirst Year Flourish!
Just before our SCT cruised into their League Final, Mr. Morris’s First Year Rugby team capped a very successful first season with a thumping win, 48-22, over the auld enemy, Sanford Park. Their irrepressible energy levels aids their play on the pitch but not their photo-posing!
MoreNot Just Corrie Questions!
This is not your granny’s table quiz… with just Coronation Street Questions and the tough one about Torvill and Dean! This was serious business! The Joint Junior and Senior Parents Associations recently ran another hugely successful Table Quiz. The questions were tough and the coffers were overflowing, raising just over €10,000 for the school. The […]
MoreDads & Lads & Moms & …
A new tradition has begun at St.Conleth’s: Parent and Child coffee mornings. The Kirwan Brothers (of course), Daniel and Luke, came up with the idea, first, and under the banner ‘Dads and Lads’, they invited all male students and their fathers to come in for an hour, have a hot beverage and just… chat. Apparently, […]
MoreCailíní iontach!
Our Irish Debating Team of Anna Carroll, Ann O’Keeffe and Rebecca McCullough stormed into the National Semifinals, where they come up, just short, to a team with interesting coaching techniques! Well done to the girls and Irish Debating Coach, Ms. Fay: we are very proud. Maith thú!
MorePPU…phew!
After waiting for all the local papers’ police reports to be published, we felt it safe to go to print… yes, the good burghers of Greater Ballsbridge and Donnybrook hold their collective breaths every year on the last Friday of February because that is when the carnival comes to town: the Past Pupils Union Annual […]
More…for Winners!
Yes, there are, now, many colleges and universities of note on this island, and some even come with the bishops’ blessing, but some of us still have a soft spot for the dreaming spires and arcane administration of The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin… Well, we were recently […]
MoreDaniel Does It, Again!
New Year… but same old (but young!) Daniel Karas, our Second Year Fencing wunderkind, taking the top step on the podium, again: this time, winning a gold medal for the Best Junior at a recent competition. And, my, what a lovely jacket!
MoreFore! Ryan Wins National Tourney!
Actually, such is this player’s finesse with the club, he rarely needs to shout the old wayward golf-shot warning! Yes, another Conlethian is winning trophies on the sporting club scene. Fifth Year Ryan Hollingsworth has lit up our classrooms with his ready smile and good humour since his arrival here last September, and he has […]
MoreNo Rehearsal Space? No Problem.
Our 2nd-6th Formers did their best impression of Mary and Joseph this afternoon as they wandered from Junior School Room to Junior School Room. There was no room at the inn. No place to rehearse for next weeks Carol Service. Finally an innkeeper appeared in the form of Mr. Nolan- “you can use the corridor […]
MoreThe Debate Goes On!
We have the Leinster Debating crown…again… and we plan on holding it! (By the way… as with rugby, in debating, Leinster is bigger than Ireland!). And what has made St. Conleth’s such a perennial challenger for the Leinster, national and international titles? Well, it is our returning alumni coaches! Oisín ‘Opie‘ Power (Class of 2022) […]
