This year’s team of 1st Year students (Aoibhinn Danneels, Daisy Savage, Tess Duke and Max Hendrickson) competed with 20 other schools in the Salters Festival of Chemistry 2019 in TCD on Saturday the 18th May. There are 2 challenges in this competition, the Salters Challenge and a University Challenge set by TCD. Our team gave an excellent account of themselves and came second in the University Challenge. The day was great fun and the competition was fierce. Well done too all the pupils involved!

The class of 2019 had their graduation ceremony in the gym on Friday 17 May. Earlier in the day there was the now traditional fancy dress water fight followed by barbecue, bouncy castle, signing of journals before pupils headed home to prepare for the graduations. Memories, speeches, photos and amazing musical performances combined for a wonderful and emotional evening for pupils, staff, parents and guardians. After the presentation of certificates and final parts of the ceremony, everyone went to the canteen for a finger food and drinks reception. Thanks to Max Fulham for a selection of photographs from the night.

All classes will finish at 1:05 on Friday to allow for the 6th year BBQ and Graduation Celebrations. Eye of the Clock Awards tomorrow afternoon. This is a great celebration of the year and full attendance is expected. Awards will finish at approx 3:30pm and students will be allowed home.
