“Grow, Cook & Eat”

Students in 6C have being working very hard with Mr. Dempsey growing vegetables in our garden and greenhouse. It was an amazing sight to come back after the summer and see the greenhouse brimming with tomatoes, some sweetcorn and rhubarb. Students picked the juicy vegetables and fruit and then brought them to the kitchen to use in their cookery class. Students made succulent Italian bruschetta and left nothing for anyone to taste. With the rhubarb they make sweet rhubarb muffins which they shared with their teachers. We can’t wait to see what else they will produce for us to cook in the kitchen.

Coffee Morning in aid of Breast Cancer

Category : Post Primary

Well done to classes 4A/4B and 6C and their teachers Shirley Higgins and Shirley Wolverson for organising a coffee morning in aid of Breast Cancer. The students made lemon drizzle cake, banana cake, apple slice, mars bar Krispies, rocky road, malteaser bars, biscuit cake and the smell along the school corridors was just divine! They raised a fantastic €285!! Shirley would like to say a big thank you to Shirley, Suzanne, and Phil for all their help and to everyone who bought cakes on the day.

Category : Post Primary

First Years at the National Concert Hall

Today, 1 A, B & C Class, teachers Mr.Canning, Ms.Owens, and Carmel & Derval visited the National Concert Hall to see ‘The Bluebell Project – Sometimes the Signal Jumps’. Special thanks to Brian Fleming from Dublin Culture Connects for inviting us to this moving performance which was also translated into ISL. We got to see a group from the Bluebell Project performed on stage with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra.
This was followed with a lovely stroll through St.Stephan’s Green on a beautiful sun shining day where the students got to feed the birds. A little birdie told us they had great fun!

Trip to Paris

Category : Post Primary

Transition Years had a wonderful trip to Paris where they got to go and see many great places. They visited the Deaf café, Aquaboulevard (Waterpark), the Lourve (Art Museum) , the Science Museum , Montparnasse Tower, Trocadero, Arc deTrionphe, Champs-Elysees, Sacre-Coeur, Montmartre, Place de la Concorde and they even got to go to Disneyland! Other highlights included visiting the 1000 Signs Cafe which is a owned by a deaf owner and all the staff there are deaf. We also had amazing coffee there! When we were at Trocadero two of our students Japhet & Angelo got to dance with celebrity dancer Salif Guey who danced on the Ellen Show. In the Lourve our tour guide was a french deaf man and he used international sign language as he brought us on our tour. We really enjoyed the tour, he brought the art in the Louvre Museum to life. This was an amazing trip – a trip of a lifetime.
