T.Y.A. Songbooks

As part of their English studies in T.Y, the girls are asked to create a “songbook”. This follows study of poetic images and the students choose a song and create images to accompany the lyrics. Once again superb books were created and it was a very difficult task for English teacher, Mrs. Power and Art teacher, Mrs. Foley to choose winners from the very individual projects. It was obvious that a lot of work, in their own time, had gone into these books.

Prizes were awarded to  Emma Fahey,  Jamie Mulcahy, Maebh Power, Michelle Sheehan, Hannah Warren and the overall prize went to Grace Whelan.

Trocaire Quiz.

Winners at Trócaire Quiz

On the 7th and 8th of April, some T.Y. students organised a table quiz for first, second and fifth year students to raise money for Trócaire. This was very successful and we raised €220. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Trócaire fund which ia helping people live better lives and not suffer from drought. After the Easter holidays a speaker from Trócaire will come to present a workshop on the topic of water in developing countries. The money raised will be presented to the speaker on that day.

This was a great way of fundraising as all participants thoroughly enjoyed the quiz. Thank you to all the T.Y. students who organised the quiz, the teachers who sup[revised it and a special thanks to Tamara Sheehan, Niamh Carltoin,and Michaela Moran who organised the quiz from start to finish.
