Congratulations to Diarmaid Kelly (3rd Year) who reached the semi-finals opposing the motion that "This House Would Ban Violent Video Games", on Friday 11th February.
On Friday, 11th February, Rory O'Neill and myself took part in the quarter-finals of the L and H Junior debating competition in UCD. Four other schools and two individuals took part in the debate. We were opposing the motion that "This House Would Ban Violent Video Games" and it was a very enjoyable debate. At the end, two school teams and two individuals were chosen to progress to the next round. I was picked to compete as an individual in the semi-finals that will take place in March.

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.
