A two day badminton tournament was organised by the TY Active School Flag team today. A lot of fun was had by all.

Well done to all the athletes who competed in the Leinster Open Championships, especially Heidi McDonnell who won the 80m final.

On Saturday 29th March our Lourdes volunteers attended a training and orientation day in preparation for the Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. Students attended workshops, learned about the story of Lourdes, practised assisting “pilgrims” and participated in a beautiful prayer service at the end of the day.

Easter raffle

From Wednesday of this week volunteers will be selling raffle tickets at the student entrance to fundraise for the Lourdes Pilgrimage before school. Students and staff can also buy tickets from Ms. O’ Sullivan in room 12.

Thank you for supporting our whole school fundraiser for the Lourdes Pilgrimage.

A huge congratulations to Ariana Silvestre of TY who finished second in the All Ireland long jump with a personal best of 5.03m!

Our u14 GAA team contested a blitz on Tuesday and won all their matches.

Our athletes are in the National Indoor Arena today to run in the Secondary Schools Indoor Track Relays, organised by Dublin City Council, Dublin City Sport and Wellbeing Partnership and our Active School Flag class.

The day’s events culminated in the TY relay and our girls put in an excellent performance, coming second. Bravo!

Our U19 badminton competed in the All Ireland championships in Gormanstown, finishing in a very credible second place. Our team, comprising of Michelle and Hannah Shocan, Mishalini Gopi, Cheryl Nakka and Rayna Jose, beat Jesus and Mary College of Galway 6-0, drew 3-3 against Colaiste Treasa from Cork and again drew 3-3 against Friends School from Lurgan. Well done to everyone concerned!

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!
