Student Leadership Team 2022/23.

We would like to wish our senior student leadership team, Aisling Patterson (Deputy Head Girl) Josica Vintem( Head Girl) Adriana Ciot and Zara Stafford (Deputy Head Girls) all the very best for the coming academic year. The girls  will be fantastic representatives for their year group and will be very positive role models for the entire student body.

 

Wellbeing

All second year students attended an assembly on Monday, the theme of which was ‘Respect’. The key messages of valuing each other and our differences were explored in students’ school life and on social media. Students participated very well, identifying their own understanding of what it means to respect and be kind to each other. ‘Respect’ will be a central theme for all second years and will be followed up throughout the year with various activities.

Leaving Cert Home Economics

On Friday 6th Years completed their Leaving Certificate Journals. The journals are worth 20% of the Leaving Cert results and will be submitted to the Department of Education in November. The girls celebrated the early completion of their journals with some beautifully decorated cupcakes.

Student Voice

Congratulations to the newly elected student council. Loreto Balbriggan encourages all students to voice their opinions and the student council works tirelessly to make those opinions heard. We look forward to working with the council over the year on many new strategies and initiatives.

Extracurricular

UCD English Debating

Well done to our 3rd year students (Ella, Caoimhe, Tess, Heather, Jessica and Holly) and 2nd year students (Grace and Sarah) who took part in the Junior Schools debating competition on Thursday night in UCD. The teams debated their motions with great enthusiasm and were highly commended by judges. The girls enjoyed being back debating in person after online debates for the past two years.

Equestrian

A great start to the Killossery inter-schools league yesterday with two of our teams competing. No ribbons, but some super jumping by all the competitors.

Cross Country

On Wednesday 11 students competed in the Clonliffe Brothers Cross Country event in Santry. All girls competed very well and were very pleased with their times. Congratulations to   6th yearHolly Brady who was placed 5th in the senior girls’ race.

 

Soccer

The Senior Soccer squad was narrowly defeated 1 – 0 in their season opener vs Ardee Community College in a close fought contest on Tuesday. Plenty of new faces from transition year as well as new 5th and 6th year have joined the team, each of which performed at a top level and will no doubt reap the rewards of their efforts as the season progresses.

 

 

Basketball

The senior basketball team travelled to Maryfield on Wednesday and had a triumphant win with a final score of 44-22. A brilliant second match of the season.
