The first year basketball team qualified for the Dublin final after a 28-18 win over St Mary’s, Glasnevin. They will now contest the final on Thursday of next week against either St Louis, Rathmines or St Dominic’s, Cabra. Sadly the second years lost their semi against Loreto, Swords after extra time. Well done, everyone!
Activities include: Bug hotel, biodiversity project, cleaning the school and planting in the tunnel.

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 9th 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.
