On Wednesday the 4th of September, 2nd year students went on an educational walking tour to learn about the poets, people and writers that had connections to our local area. We followed a walking map designed by the English Department.
Alec from 2X read a Yeats poem outside his old school The High School, Sagi talked about the history of Herzog Park, Petya talked about the site of the old Mother and Baby home Bethany House, and Jacob and Shay talked about the War Memorial Hall in Terenure. We were even invited to enter the shul to learn more about Jewish history in Dublin, with an informative talk by Emmet. We are now going to take inspiration from some of these places of interest to create our own scripts, and stage some site-specific plays!
Thank you to Ms Maccaba, Ms Caspi, Mr Eppel and Ms Talbot for coming with us.

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.
