The annual Awards Ceremony was held on Friday, 23rd October in the school hall. Guests of Honour at the Awards Ceremony were Oisín Orpen, from the Commercial Team of ESB Cars and Ciara Norton, from An Taisce. Stratford's second Green Flag (for Energy), was officially raised after the Awards Ceremony with Ciara Norton. In addition Green Schools had invited Oisín Orpen to bring an electric car which was parked in front of the school. Students got to sit in the car and pretend to drive it! Students, teachers, parents and past-pupils were treated to a wonderful musical interlude - you can listen back to them on the podcast and video. Well done to all the students who received an Award on the day and to all students for their own personal achievements. Go to the School News blog for more details.

The TY students did lots of different activities - including canoeing, surfing and climbing - and according to Ms. Finnegan really pushed themselves to do things they normally wouldn't attempt. Thanks to Ms. Finnegan for organising the trip and to Ms. Bennet and Mr. Smith who helped out too. See also the TY blog.
