Tucked in under the trees of Rathgar, Stratford College is a secondary school built around three words – and a promise that every student is known

Stratford kicked off it's Science Week activities at the whole school assembly on Monday with the first of many daily quizzes! So far 1st years have had a Young Environmentalist Awards Ideas Factory Workshop, TYs had an engineer from SSE Eirtricity explaining how to build off-shore wind turbines and there's more to come for the rest of the week ...

Well done to the U19 Boys basketball team who reached the semi-finals against Rockbrook on Tuesday 10th November. In a closely fought match, Stratford lost 41-39 - so, so close! 

Major congratulations to the U16 Boys basketball team who won 52-36 against Firhouse on Monday 9th November!

Stratford celebrated Stand Up Awareness Week (2nd - 6th November) with many daily activities, videos at tutor time and culminating with each year group dressing up in an assigned rainbow colour! 

As the December exams get closer, it can be hard to know where to start. As part of our wellbeing theme 'Own It' at Stratford College, we’ve put together a study skills poster to help students across all year groups find revision habits that work for them.

Stratford College TY students were invited by HETI (Holocaust Education Trust Ireland) and the Department of Foreign Affairs to plant crocus bulbs in a newly established Crocus Garden by the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Helen McEntee TD in Iveagh House on Tuesday, 3rd November.

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.
