A Grand Entrance!
As reported by our Guidance Counsellor, Gordon Weldon: One student from St. Conleth’s was among the 593 students who were awarded prestigious Entrance Exhibition Awards for the 2024/5 academic year from Trinity College Dublin. The awards go to students accepted into the first year of a full-time undergraduate degree programme who achieved the highest points […]
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! First up is the culmination […]
MoreMaking Movies!
We assume it is the highest of contemporary compliments in the world of matinee idols to be designated ‘the next Paul Mescal’ but, at St. Conleth’s, we also know that Ollie West (Class of 2023) has been setting pants on fire for years! In fact, Mr. Mescal has to pick up a few more talents […]
MoreOur LC Results: Crunched!
For an assignment this important, namely an analysis of the Leaving Certificate Results of the St. Conleth’s Class of 2024, the CEO thought our usual debonair doggerel could use some support from two real pros: our Guidance Counsellor Gordon Weldon and our Data Czar Richie Morris. After digesting their two reports, we almost feel ready […]
MoreSt. Conleth’s, Distilled
We have been writing much about Conlethian ethos and spirit lately, and serendipitously we ran into an alumnus who is one, big, boisterous, walking, talking vessel of that true, old St. Conleth’s essence: Gavan O’Connor Duffy (Class of 2009), or as our Sixth Years know him, now, the Earl of Gloucester. Yes, the Leaving Certificate […]
MoreAll Together, Now
‘Assemblies’, by definition, are just gatherings of people but our October Assembly was much more than that. Like our recent Artworks celebration, it showcased the best of us, in terms of talents, achievements and milestones, but it was also, simply but profoundly, a gathering of different people for a common purpose, that of building on […]
MoreMaths Magicians!
Yes, technically, Maths week was last week, but like a repeating decimal or pi… Maths never really stops! This year, we were delighted to welcome back Past Pupil Colm Mulcahy (Class of 1975): Irish mathematician, academic, columnist, book author, public outreach speaker, amateur magician and spinner of engaging Maths stories. Colm is Professor Emeritus at Spelman College, […]
MoreLondon Calling!
Currently, St. Conleth’s is like that quaint, little bistro that opens up quietly, garners a few rave reviews and soon a table can not be had for love or money! In our very busy September, in addition to all the normal school business, we had an oversubscribed Open Morning/Information Evening, spectacularly successful 85th Anniversary/Artworks show […]
MoreArt… Worked!
It was an evening to remember, as the Conlethian creatives, and their many fans, gathered to celebrate our 85th birthday with Artworks, a multi-storey, multi-media tribute to our artistic legacy. The art works of both professional and talented amateur alumni were on display, as well as those of staff and current students, but the greatest […]
MoreStyle and Substance
We expected nattily dressed guys, and girls in gorgeous gowns, and we were certainly knocked out with the style, but we also knew there would be a more important aspect of the Class of 2024 Debs’ reception at St. Conleth’s: a spirit of honest affection and appreciation, tinged with the tiniest bit of regret that we […]
