Maryfield is proud to announce that on Saturday 22nd March TRISHA FERNANDES won THE INDIVIDUAL BEST SPEAKER TROPHY

in the FINAL of the Federation of University of Women’s under 15’s Girls Public Speaking Competition

The venue was the Ardilaun Hotel Galway, it was hosted by UCG and supported by Arther Cox Accountancy firm.

Each of the finalists had participated earlier this year in their regional universities which included Queens University Belfast, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin and University college Galway.

Trisha Fernandes ‘speech was outstanding and captivated the whole audience. What is unique about this competition is that although each student has a choice of two topics they are unaware of what aspect of the topic to speak about until 30 minutes before the start of the competition.

Trisha’s chosen topic was ‘Citizenship in the 21st Century’ Her unseen aspect for her impromptu speech was ‘IS IRELAND A PLACE OF A THOUSAND WELCOMES OR IS THAT A THING OF THE PAST’

Trisha, glowing in her Maryfield uniform eloquently spoke out and moved the audience with her beautifully articulated impromptu speech.

Ms Whyte would like to thank Ms Coleman and Ms McLoughlin who allowed Trisha time out from their classes last week to go through final preparations for Galway.

Trisha has sacrificed many lunch hours along with her supporting peers Ava Carberry and Abbie Burwell to prepare for the competition.

Ms Whyte would also like to thank Ms Collins for her assistance in judgement of prepared speeches for entering a team event in February and who very kindly offered to go to Galway to support Ms Whyte, Trisha and Maryfield college.

Thank you all for your good luck wishes

Congratulations once again to Trisha Fernandes-A very worthy winner. Brilliant.

Students from Mr. Dempsey’s 2nd Year Spanish class spent the morning making horchata Mexicana, a traditional drink make with rice, cinnamon, and three kinds of milk. ¡Les ha gustado mucho!

Bhí céilí ag an Dara Bliain sa halla ar maidin. Bhí an-chraic go deo acu!

Bhí biongó trí Ghaeilge againn ag am lóin Déardaoin.

Fuaireamar cuireadh chuig céilí in Ardscoil Rís an Chéadaoin seo caite. Sheinn an grúpa traidisiúnta ó Coláiste Pháirc Mhuire agus rinne beirt bhuachaillí ó Ardscoil Rís píosa ceoil freisin. Bhí spórt agus spraoi againn go léir ag damhsa agus ag caint is ag comhrá.

Tá doras na scoile maisithe do Lá Fhéile Pádraig.

Le Chéile Day

On 6th March Maryfield College celebrated Le Chéile Day. Le Chéile are the trustees of our school. The theme for our celebration this year was spreading kindness.

Students were welcomed to school with a kindness charm and a quote to encourage them to spread kindness. Lots of students wore red accessories with their uniform to show their commitment to spreading kindness in our school community. Students carried out random acts of kindness throughout the day and there were spot prizes for the completion of kindness challenges. Year heads awarded certificates to students who demonstrated their commitment to Le Chéile values.

Thank you to all the students who volunteered and participated so fully in Le Chéile Day.

Bí Cinealta.
