Sports Day, 5th May 2016
This year's Sports Day, Thursday, 5th May, was the perfect day for a Sports Day - sunny but not too hot. Everyone was delighted, none more so than Ms. Finnegan and her group of helpers. The Sports Day timetable and teams were posted a week in advance, so that everyone knew what they had to do on the day. What a busy day for all concerned - Junior and Senior Basketball, Junior and Senior Soccer, 3-legged races for all years, Junior and Senior Sprints, Junior and Senior Tug-of-War, as well as the obstacle course and the sumo wrestling. Thank you very much Ms. Finnegan for a fantastic sporting day! Go to the Sports blog for more sporting activities.

Seachtain na Gaeilge concert, 15th March 2016
For Seachtain na Gaeilge, Ms. Ivers, her Irish students, and in particular her 2nd Year and TY Irish students worked extremely hard to put together a fun and varied Seachtain na Gaeilge concert. From music, to singing, to drama and to dancing, the school had an enjoyable afternoon of all things Irish. To mark the 1916 commemorations and Proclamation Day, the Student Council read both the Irish Proclamation as read in 1916 and the Stratford College Proclamation written by students in preceding weeks during History. A big thank-you to Ms. Ivers for all her hard work.
