Each week, we hold an assembly in our school where we award our special, student of the week award. Often we have guest speakers who talk to us about their lives and work. Special guests have included Father Dunphy (Parish Priest, Graiguecullen), Elaine Dunne (Rector, North Dublin), Pat Deering (Fine Gael TD), Mary White (former Green Party TD) and lots of organisations such as Fair Trade. If you’d like to give an assembly, get in touch using the form on the right.
