Elaine Murphy of 5th Year Attends European Youth Parliament in Norway

After attending the Regional and National sessions of European Youth Parliament Ireland, I was selected to attend an international session in Tromsø, Norway. The session had 300 participants from all over Europe, and over 9 days we came together in committees and created resolutions to tackle problems facing Europe currently. The resolutions we wrote will be sent to policy makers across Europe and hopefully influence positive change.

 


First Year Business Students Host Fairtrade Event

To celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight, our first year Business Studies students hosted a Fairtrade event to raise awareness about the work Fairtrade does to support farmers, producers and textile workers in the Global South. By switching to Fairtrade, you are using your financial power to help those most affected by the climate crisis and helping to create a more just world.
Next time you are shopping, look out for the Fairtrade logo on some of your favourite household items!
A big thanks to Fyffes for donating the bananas for each of our first years. 🍌
Thank You,
Ms Clancy’s First Year Business Studies Class. ❤️

TY Pupils Participate in Emmanuel 2023

Last Wednesday March 1st, the TY students took part in the EMMANUEL Concerts at the Helix. This is an initiative between schools and the Dublin Diocese. It was great to take part again in this wonderful event after  the Pandemic, and it was so inspiring and uplifting to see and hear so many young people singing. The concerts promote wonderful music that can be used in our schools for Liturgy.

Among the highlights were video greetings from the various composers, and it was a lovely surprise to include a video message from the very famous Bjorn Kristian Ulaevus of ABBA whose song “Ode To Freedom” was one of the pieces performed.
The Religion Department would like to express how well our TY students participated and represented Maryfield College. A special note to our soloists, Cliona Barrett who sang “The Prayer” and Ai Lin Sun who played the piano in the orchestra.
Congratulations and well done to everybody involved. The whole event was a great success.
