The event happened in Galway University and Cillian Murphy was the special guest invited to talk about the topic. We went for lunch and after it we had a questions and answers session with the actor. Later on in the day we attended workshops such as yoga, mindfulness, literature, music, drama and media."
Thanks to Mr. Priestley and Mr. Fennell for organising.
We welcomed our incoming First Years (2024) for a special visit and school orientation session today. With our current First Years on hand to guide and support, it was a fun filled few hours where everyone got to know each other, play games, meet teachers, learn about life in Stratford and find their way around their soon to be new school.
It was a delight to meet everyone and roll on September!!
