Day 2 for our German students on tour – a good sleep, a hearty breakfast and they were ready for road. First up was the sound of music tour , taking in the famous sites from the film. With some beautiful spring sunshine breaking through it was hard not to be impressed by the spectacular snow capped Austrian Alps. The afternoon was spent with free time to take in the sights of Salzburg- birthplace of Mozart. A great day with lots of laughs on the way 
Some very tired students this evening after day 1 of the Senior German tour to Munich. A journey through the night allowed us to enjoy a full day in Munich – taking in the Olympiapark, the impressive BMW museum and some shopping. A good nights sleep now needed before we head to Salzburg Austria in the morning.

Our Politics students had a great trip to Dublin last week. We had a tour of the Dail Leinster House and were so lucky to also have a private tour of the Seanad with the Clerk of the Seanad himself Mr Martin Groves, who shared his time and knowledge generously!
Some photos of our 5th and 6th year LCPE students who attended the Leaving Certificate PE Applied Learning Experience Event in MTU, Tralee. Students had workshops from former Limerick GAA S&C coach Joe O’Connor and Kerry footballer Fionn Fitzgerald. They also had lectures with Irish Women’s rugby captain Ciara Griffin, and Dr. Karen Weekes who became the first Irish female to row 3000 miles solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

This week we marked Safer Internet Day in our school. Classes completed lessons on Internet safety and keeping themselves and others safe online. First years then attended a talk given by Georgie from Cybersafe kids , they learned a lot about how to protect themselves online, they also took part in a poster competition on Internet safety and took part in monitoring their screens time survey. We hope that this week has given students an insight into the importance of Internet safety.
