4L participated in a guided tour of the GPO Museum as part of their Transition Year Activities with Mr. Scales. It was an enjoyable experience that enhanced their understanding of the Easter Rising and its historical significance. The tour allowed students to engage with primary sources and interactive displays, encouraging them to reflect on Ireland’s journey to independence.

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!
