MoreMs. Kelly is Keeping Secrets…
First week back at school, Senior Infants, keep things nice and simple, nice and calm- right? Not for Ms. Kelly who marched her Senior Infants down to the ‘Secret Garden‘ for a morning explore and peaceful snack time. Students enjoyed the last of the summer sunshine and mild weather surrounded by nature, bugs and a […]
MoreEarly Doors!
Most of the teachers at St. Conleth’s long ago jettisoned the ‘Don’t smile till Christmas!’ advice handed down by our austere teaching elders and it seems like our First Years have responded in kind. Mind you, it was not a particularly taxing First Day, with the last day of the Activity Camp, a tour of […]
MoreWelcome Back!
Yes, the Junior School, once again, takes the lead, with a full day of school for everyone except the Junior Infants, who get one more weekend of summer holidays. And our Senior School welcomes our incoming First Years to No. 28 Clyde Road for their first school lunch, as part of their Induction and Activity […]
MoreBuzz, Buzz…
Cecilia Franken stays busy in both the Junior and Senior Schools: here, she escorts First Form to the Oval in Ballsbridge to see the action in the beehives: a hands-on (carefully) Green experience!
MoreUhhhh…. S Club 7!
Yes, your age might very well affect your ability to answer particular trivia questions…. that, and your cultural taste! Well, everything was on the table at the Junior and Senior Schools’ Parent Associations’ recent, worthy joint venture: a Quiz Night at the Maldron Hotel which raised funds for blackout blinds in the hall, which will […]
MoreWelcome, Parents!
Last Friday morning, the Junior School opened their doors for the second ‘Celebration of Learning’ of the year. Parents from Junior Infants through Sixth Form were treated to a tour through this term’s learning by the most important people in the building (after Chef Mark)- the students! And, quite appropriately considering the Past Pupils Dinner […]
MoreSquires, Arise!
You know you are teaching in a good school when your biggest problem, when on lunch duty patrol, is breaking up illicit chess games in restricted areas of the campus… Well Yubo Wang, Zach Waldron, Joe Kelleher and our other Senior School Knights will soon have some serious competition on the grid as the chess […]
MoreJS Round-Up!
And it has been business as usual in the Junior School, too, which means lots of fun and constructive things going on: the JSPA runs a green (and economical) second-hand uniform sale; the Junior Girls head down to the Herbo for some hockey and Junior Infants Enjoy Irish… on the Move!
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 […]
MoreBert Beaters!
While the rest of us snuggled down further into the duvet, Junior Head of Sport Louis Magee and his crew were out there in the wind and rain! Last Saturday, our Junior School Rugby teams (3rd to 6th) took place in various blitzes from Greystones to Rathmines. 12 games played: 7 wins, 4 losses and […]

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 […]
MoreInspirational Information!
Nearly everyone worked late last Monday night, and it has taken us almost a week to recover but it was worth it as the St. Conleth’s Senior School Information Evening and Junior School Open Morning were, once again, smashing successes. Such was excitement on Clyde Road that the US Embassy security staff were on high […]

MoreIn Full Voice
Juniors and Seniors combined for one of our most important annual occassions: the School Mass at St. Mary’s of Haddington Rd, when we pray and sing together and remember those we have lost over the last year. Student readers and choristers assisted as Fr. Fachtna presided over a beautiful ceremony. Below, you can see and […]
MoreTurkey Time!
Before Santa arrives, we had better pay tribute to the amazing Thanksgiving Dinner which our canteen staff once again laid on for students, staff and extended families. All the sides and fixin’s were on the plate: turkey, ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, roasties, gravy… even creamed corn! Juniors were served first! Our seniors were a bit […]
MoreGhoul School!
There was absolute Halloween Hysteria at St. Conleth’s, again this year! Our women teachers transformed into Sixth Years (and vice versa) and we realised that you can never have too many Gav Maguires. And since this whole mega-holiday started with our native Samhain, our Ghoulish Gaeilge Gals, Ms. Fay and Ms. ODulaing, took on the […]
