Tuesday (Dé Máirt) Conradh na Gaeilge are running Gaeilge24. The aim is to speak Gaeilge non-stop for one full day (lá amháin!). In Coláiste Stratford we're going to 'bain triail as' and bring Gaeilge outside the classroom that day.
While completing this challenge we hope to have lots of 'spórt agus craic'. Some activities will focus particularly on Wellbeing (Folláine) including:
The 5ú Bliain agus an Idirbhliain will coordinate the day. You will see them 'timpeall na háite' wearing their tléine. Say hi or even better 'Dia dhuit'. Along with the organised events we hope that the students will 'teach the teachers' a few more 'cúpla focal' so 'cuir ceist orthu'. They will be very proud to show off what they know.
Hope you'll come 'ar bhord' that day and join us with Conradh na Gaeilge.
Beatha teanga í a labhairt! Le gach dea-ghuí!

The 1st years completed a zombie lab today where they used their scientific methods and thinking to identify patient zero from the zombie suspects. Using measuring skills, pH, observation skills and much more they successfully identified the source of the outbreak!

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.
Stratford is celebrating Maths Week 2026 (12th - 18th October) with daily activities around the school, at breaktimes and in Maths classes! The tutor-time daily quiz is proving to be extremely competitive as each form group tries to solve it and then run to find Ms Matthews in order to win the box of chocolates!
