Well done to 5th Year student, Ryan Baker, who won Belvedere College's Spelling Bee Competition on Thursday, 30th March.
Huge congratulations to Ryan Baker (5th Year) who was the winning finalist in Belvedere College's Spelling Bee Competition 2017 on Thursday, 30th March. It was a nail biting final round whereby Ryan had to spell his own word and that of his opponents. The spellings were very challenging ranging from 'pulcruidinous' to 'pandemonium'.
Ryan displayed admirable presence of mind, as he broke down his words into coherent syllables, while being watched by a hushed auditorium of over two hundred people. Congratulations to our other students who also competed in today's spelling bee: Cormac Kelly, Jane Henry, and Rachel Murphy. They competed against students from Sandford Park, Gonzaga College, Muckross Park, St Andrews, Castlenock College, St Marys, and Belvedere College.

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
