Invasion Française!
Mercredi, le onze mars, St Conleths was visited by “trente cinq” French students from le lycée Notre Dame of Saint Nazaire, just an hour east of Nantes. We did lots of activities with them et nous nous sommes bien amusés. Pour commencer, we did some “speed-dating” to get to know each other. We had a […]
MoreConleth’s Goes County!
And we bring home the bling! Messrs. Smith, Weldon and Stack are three of our most approachable teachers: famous for their accessibility to students and caring approach to whole child education… but don’t you dare go up for a high ball with any of them at your back! The trio brought their GAA pedigree, heartland […]
MoreROAR!
On a glorious, historic day, St. Conleth’s was in full voice, backing Gav Maguire and the SCT as they won the Leinster McMullen Shield, 24-21, over Enniscorthy in a brilliant match before stands filled with our students, staff, parents and alumni. At our recent Past Pupils Union Dinner, stories of glory days of old were […]
MoreChampions 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!
