Halcyon Herbo!
May has actually agreed this year that it is the start of summer, and many of us have carpied the diem and moved class to our educational annex: Herbert Park! Here we see Sixth Year Gaeilge, Fifth Year Classics and Second Year Wellbeing, all al fresco! What else goes on at the Herbo? Second Years […]
MoreFaith and Fun!
It’s a long road to Waterford but with proper rest, nutritious snacks and the right training, Fifth Years had a great time surfing the waves (and their souls) as Road Warrior Lonergan was at it again. leading them off to Glencomeragh for a Holy Family Mission Retreat. Faith, philosophy, fun, friendship… and a bit of […]
MoreNew World Order
The Donald had better watch out! Mr. Baneham has brought St. Conleth’s back to the Model United Nations and Belarus might soon be a real player on the world stage! Yes, after years of isolationism, St. Conleth’s has once again entered the world’s debating chamber, having last been there in the 1990s with the late, […]
MoreShiny, Happy People!
A few of like to think that we are ‘down with the kids’ but, inevitably, our ability to connect with Zoomers and Alphas is limited by our traditional grasp of irony, image-scanning lethargy and general Boomer mentality. So, the Nobber Knight, Guidance Counsellor ‘Flash’ Gordon, knew that even his jovial juvenilia has its limits and […]
MoreDublin Bay: Covered!
We go South… we go North! TYs took Bray a few weeks ago, so Third Years ventured out in the other direction, enjoying the wilds of the Howth peninsula and, thanks to Mr. Smyth, a Geographically curated tour of Howth Head. Yes indeed, tombolos and sea-stacks were clearly identified. And since Gav Maguire came along, […]
MoreAnd the Winner is…
We cannot seem to cut our ties with the Class of 2024! To be honest, they are just such good company! Two last bits from Graduation to interest you: the complete gallery of Sixth Year Award Winners and the video of the visit to the Hill of Tara, incredibly produced by Mr. Weldon on the […]
MoreStudent Academic Awards 2023
No Buzz Aldrins, here! Everyone likes to win but sometimes, especially in Ireland, we have a difficulty in recognising and applauding excellence. We prefer the hard-luck story, the near-misses, the lovable-lad-who-is-about-to-be-lapped… the Buzz Aldrin over the Neil Armstrong. Faced with greatness, we feel as awkward as that NASA official when he had to pick a […]
MoreCSPCE for the DSPCA!
Mr. Gahan’s Third Year CSPE Class pulled off an impressive Action Project, organising and running a Cake Fair +, with plenty of baked goodies and assorted donation-inducing ‘games’ (all in compliance with the Sales of goods and Services Act, apparently). Precisely €382.94 was raised for the DSPCA. Even the teachers ponied up some, particularly the […]
MoreComing Back to Life!
Springtime always brings a natural and impulsive sense of de vivre and the lambs gamboling in the fields and the students gambling in the yard are just testaments to the irrepressible urge we all have for living life to the fullest. This year, with the Covid thaw finally taking place and yet with darker tidings […]
