We were very fortunate to have an Irish Olympian in the school on Friday. Thank you to Ellen Walshe, Olympic swimmer, who gave an inspiring talk to our TY classes today.

Our TYs completed the “Dare to Believe” Olympic Values Programme during their Sports Plus programme this year.
Ellen gave a fabulous talk, taking us through her journey from childhood swimming competitions all the way to Tokyo 2020. Our TY Sports Committee ended the session with an engaging Q&A.
