Well done to the first year basketball team who competed in the All Ireland championships. They are the first group from the school to represent Dublin and they played with passion and courage. Well done to everyone involved, including pupil coaching team Ciara, Sophia and Joyce.

Le Cheile Student Symposium in Knock

Ten students went to the Le Chéile student symposium during the week. They left Dublin early in the morning and enjoyed the long bus journey to Knock, Co. Mayo. On arrival students were welcomed by the Le Chéile team and then got to participate in various faith based workshops.

After lunch students gathered in the Basillica for Mass and another workshop with Jim Deeds. His presentation “finding God in the mess” encouraged students to seek out faith in their own lives.

All students are to be commended for their respectful participation throughout the day, you are a credit to your school community. “The trip to Knock was a great experience. It was lovely to meet new people and to hear about the stories and history of Knock.”

“We went to Knock and had a memorable experience. We got to visit the Basilica, the museum and wander the beautiful grounds.”

Our TY Active School Flag classes are proud to announce that we have created a Wellbeing Walkway! This is a signposted route around the school designed to encourage exercise, mindfulness and learning on the move.

Our student council members attended the Irish Second-Level Students’ Union (ISSU) annual assembly in Liberty Hall last week.

Staff and students had a wonderful day today participating in Wear Red Day organised by Immigration Ireland; it was a day of action to raise awareness about racism.

A huge congratulations to the first year A basketball team. They bounced back after yesterday’s disappointment in the final to beat King’s Hospital 24-12. This qualifies them to represent Dublin in the All-Ireland championships, the first time Maryfield has gotten that far. Well done girls!
