We participated in the school’s county badminton competition this week. Our three teams, u/16 girls, u/16 boys and u/19 boys played in the Division 2 competition. The standard of badminton was very high and the teams played very competitively.
Our u/16 girls’ team won all their matches and will now represent Clare in the Munster Competition in January.
Our u/16 boys team played very well but were unlucky on the day and unsuccessful in progressing further in the competition.

On Thursday, the Transition Year (TY) students were hard at work selling a variety of products at our annual TY Christmas Market in the assembly hall. This year’s market was our largest yet, with a steady stream of business as students and staff from across the school visited to buy treats and gifts. It was especially wonderful to see some parents stopping by to support the TY students. Overall, the event was a tremendous success, with every group reporting strong profits. Well done to everyone involved for their hard work and effort!

The Minor Ladies Football team marked an impressive start to their North Munster Championship campaign with a resounding victory over Crescent College Comprehensive on Monday. The final scoreline read 7-10 to 0-1, a dominant performance from start to finish.
The game was effectively decided in the first half, where a rapid-fire hat-trick of goals from Emma Browne set the tone for the match. Browne’s clinical finishing, combined with the team’s exceptional build-up play, left Crescent College reeling. Shortly after, Alli Donnelly added another goal to the tally, finishing off a well worked team move.
Looking ahead, Castletroy College will be the next … Read More >
