The third year music class had a lovely time at the National Concert Hall.

A huge congratulations to the first year A basketball team who beat Le Chéile SS by 11 points in the Dublin semi-final. They will face Alexandra College on Tuesday in Oblate Hall. Well done, everyone!

Fourth year students took part in the annual Emmanuel concert in the Helix on Wednesday. Emmanuel is a celebration of liturgical music and it is organised by the Archdiocese of Dublin. Schools all over Dublin take part in the Emmanuel concert.

The fourth years represented Maryfield well by singing their hearts out and getting involved in all the activities. It was a spiritual day where students got a chance to pray, reflect and sing. Two students sang beautiful solo pieces and shone on the main stage.

Fifth year retreats Last week fifth year students took part in class retreats in the beautiful Ruah Retreat Centre. It was a day of prayer, reflection and discussion. It is important to take time out of every day busy lives to rest and reflect.

Congratulations to our two U14 badminton teams who contested the Leinster badminton championships! The A team triumphed and our B team proved gallant runners-up. The A team will represent Leinster on the 20th of March.

Fourth year students have had a very busy week which included four performances of their musical! The week began with all fourth years taking part in the Young Social Innovators (YSI) speak out in the Mansion House, Dawson Street.

Each of the four YSI teams had to present their YSI action project on stage in front of hundreds of other students. The students represented their school with enthusiasm, energy and an awareness of social justice.

Maryfield’s YSI guides were incredibly proud of all the students and their commitment to effecting positive change in the world. Well done everybody. Shout out to our dance representatives who performed a snippet of the musical ‘Legally Blonde’ to win the dance battle!
