Bird feeders made by fourth years for Green Schools’ biodiversity theme.

The All Ireland TY Japanese quiz night was on this evening and 11 TY students participated from Maryfield College. “Wabi sabi nabi” who came 3rd. Well done Abi, Nikitah, Eki and Kiera. The rest of our teams were also very good. We also got a bento each from Daruma restaurant. It was good fun.

On Monday the 9^th of March, the Transition year students had a Religion retreat from the wonderful company of “Shine Bright retreats”. The students enjoyed a day of discovery with games that helped the students get to know each other. The students enjoyed a calming walk in nature and created bunting with positive affirmations. There was a wonderful sense of spirituality and kindness amongst the students. We would like to give a special thank you to Bernie and Maura for facilitating this retreat.

Our second year basketball team beat Loreto Balbriggan 45-10 in their quarter final today, while our first years beat Glor Na Mara on Friday.

Our TYs had a great day out today at the YSI Speak Outs in the Mansion House. Well done to all!

A group of our Transition Year students had the wonderful opportunity to take part in the Emmanuel Concert 2026 at the Helix. This annual event brings together students from schools across the country to celebrate music and faith through a large-scale choral performance.

Our students joined hundreds of other young singers and musicians to perform a selection of uplifting and reflective pieces. We are very proud of our students as they were superb in representing Maryfield. Our soloist singer, Kiera May Macugay was excellent in her performance of “Psalm 23”!

It was a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable event for everyone involved. We are very grateful for the dedication and enthusiasm our students showed throughout their practice and during their performance.

On Thursday 5^th March 2026, two teams of four Senior Cycle students represented Maryfield College at the regional round of this year’s IMTA Team Maths competition. This competition took place in dozens of centres all across Ireland, with nearly 750 teams competing nationwide. Of the 21 teams competing at the centre in St. Dominic’s College in Cabra, our two teams placed in joint 8^th and joint 16^th, respectively.

Students from 4L recently enjoyed a visit to the National Gallery of Ireland with Mr. Scales. The trip provided them with a chance to explore a wide range of artworks and learn more about the history and techniques behind some of Ireland’s most important collections.

A highlight of the visit was seeing The Taking of Christ by Caravaggio. Students were fascinated by the dramatic lighting and emotion in the painting, and they learned about how Caravaggio used light and shadow to create powerful scenes.
