Last Saturday morning, the 5th year Japanese class did an online meet up with Numakunai High school in Japan. They are visiting us after February midterm. We are looking forward to seeing them in person!
Catholic Schools Week 2026 was a meaningful and uplifting time for our school community. Throughout the week, our students engaged thoughtfully with the theme of holiness in everyday life. A highlight of the week was learning about sainthood and the remarkable life of Saint Carlo Acutis. Through his story, students discovered how faith, service to those in need and modern technology can be used to bring people closer to God.
The week was also marked by a beautiful sense of joy and gratitude. Students from Ms. Butler and Mr. Scales’ RE class groups were eager to spread joy by designing heartfelt thank you cards for their teachers, expressing appreciation for their care, guidance and dedication. It was wonderful to witness such genuine enthusiasm and creativity. A lovely atmosphere of kindness flowed through the hallways of Maryfield!
Catholic Schools Week provided a valuable opportunity for students to reflect the core values of the Sisters of the Cross and Passion, particularly, thankfulness, compassion and faith lived through service to others.
Well done to our first and second year teams who both kick-started their respective seasons with a win against St Neasan’s today. The first years won 54-6 and the second years triumphed 61-2.
As part of their Transition Year activities, 4L recently enjoyed a trip to the Savoy Cinema to view Hamnet. Upon arrival, the class was delighted to receive popcorn and drinks, kindly provided by the Savoy staff, which added to the enjoyment of the outing.
The trip provided the group with a valuable opportunity to engage with literature and drama in a fun and accessible way. Watching Hamnet on the big screen encouraged the class to explore themes such as family, loss, and creativity, while also deepening their appreciation of storytelling and Shakespeare’s history beyond the classroom.
We’ve just been crowned Dublin U19 champions with a 5-1 win over Edmund Rice College. Well done everyone!
As part of Maryfield College’s 80th Anniversary celebrations, we are thrilled to announce a special celebratory concert taking place this spring. More details about this landmark event will be shared soon, but we have something truly unique to tell you now…For this once‑in‑a‑lifetime celebration, Maryfield has decided to commission an original choral work especially for our school choir. That means on the night of the concert, Maryfield will host the world premiere of a piece written exclusively for us! Even more exciting, we will be working with Irish composer Fiona Shields on this project. But we want your voice to be heardWe are inviting students from ALL year groups to submit a poem or short text that could be used as part of this brand‑new composition. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who enjoys writing, poetry, creativity, or storytelling.
Before Christmas, the 5th year Japanese class did an online exchange with the Numakunai High school. They are coming over to Dublin in February. 2 students Ayaha and Moka are staying with Amelia and Chloe and coming to our school. We are looking forward to seeing them in person!!
