Olga Lacey (3^rd year) won gold in gymnastics for Tipperary in The Community Games.  She will now represent  her county in the National Final in a bid to win the All-Ireland title.  Emma O’Dwyer (T.Y.) was a member of the Ireland Team which won the Nations Cup in Fontainbleu in France. In swimming  Jane Roberts (3^rd year) won a gold medal in the 100m backcrawl and 200m backcrawl in the Orca Cup, Bratislava, Slovakia.  Lorraine O’Shea (5^th year) won the long jump in the South Leinsters.  She was second in the 100m sprint.  She had a personal best of 580cm in the long jump and created a new track record.

On Friday Night, 13^th May the Transition Year Annual Fashion Show took place.  It was a wonderful success with the students stepping out with great confidence!  They are very grateful to Ms. Claire Bradfield (Co-ordinator) and Ms. Johanna Sheehan for their support.  In the weeks leading up to the show Ms. Karen Morrissey gave lessons in beauty and make-up and Ms. Joan Brennan helped with dress design.  On the night many of the Staff helped out backstage. A great highlight was the bridal wear (with the girls rivalling Kate Middleton!) and the dress design section where they modelled their own creations.

Congratulation to Orla Millea and Verginiya Hristova who came 1st and 2nd in the Kilkenny Photographic Society Transition Year Schools Competition.

First Year students enjoyed a weekend in Kilfinane Activity Centre, Limerick, 10 -12^th March.  Under the supervision of Ms. Philomena Flynn, Ms. Kathy Morrissey and the Centre’s instructors they took part in many team activities including rock climbing, orienteering and canoeing.  It is a tradition in the school to take First Years away together and offers them the chance to strengthen the bonds of friendship that they have been building up since September.
