On Tuesday and Thursday, 21st and 23rd April a selection of Junior students were selected to compete in a variety of the West Leinster School Athletics Competition in Santry. 1st Year student, Nicole Gallagher, was one of the competitors and writes a short report about the competition.

On Tuesday and Thursday, 21st and 23rd April some first and second years participated in Santry sports. We entered javelin, shotput, high jump and multiple running competitions. We didn't win anything but we tried very hard and we should train for next year so we can bring back the gold!
