Sports Day was held on Tuesday afternoon, 14th May and it was a glorious afternoon! Admittedly it was meant to be the previous Thursday but rain stopped play ...
Ms Finnegan had organised basketball and soccer blitzes, as well as the highly competitive tug-of-war event and three-legged races (with many innovative approaches taken by some students!)
A huge thanks to Ms Finnegan and all the students who helped her run Sports Day. Thanks too to Brendan for cutting the grass. It was also wonderful to see the newly painted basketball courts in action. Thanks too to Emma Smyth and Adam Eppel for all the beautiful photographs taken with our new school camera. Thanks too to the 1st Year Digital Media Team - Josh Taylor, Kate O'Neill and Sarah Dunne - for their photographic work on Sports Day.

The 5th Years ably hosted their Assembly on Tuesday 17th January. It was combined with a special BT Young Scientist & Technology Assembly where Ayush, Joseph and Liam spoke about their respective projects. Ayush explained the importance of his project in terms of breast cancer research and we now can see why he was awarded the Best Individual Project and Horizon Student Award for the overall best Biological & Ecological project at BTYSTE 2023. Liam and Joseph demonstrated their projects too and there was much interest! The finalists parents were invited to the assembly too.
Ayush Tambde, aged 17 and in sixth year in Stratford College won the prize for Best Individual, with his project, 'Analysis of single-cell proteomic data to understand the mechanisms of oncogenic transformation and how to control them'.
Ayush also won the Horizon Student Award for the best overall Biological and Ecological project.
Contest judge Dr John Monahan said the project had “taken new protein biology approaches to relook at an important existing data set and come up with novel insights into potential treatments for these difficult to treat basal cell breast cancers”. [Irish Times]
