Mr Priestley and the newly formed Sports History Club organised a live viewing of the Ireland/Samoa World Cup Rugby match in the hall on Thursday, 3rd October.
Kick off was at 11:15 and Stratford students came in festooned in Irish scarves and green rugby jerseys. Due to the massive demand on the RTE Player it took a while for the WiFi to be sorted out so that the match could be watched without delays - but a number of 3rd Year students sorted it all out!
Students also raised €60 in aid of Cystic Fibrosis Ireland. A great two hours in the hall! And a great victory for Ireland: 47-5.
Our Transition Year (TY) students hosted a successful coffee morning in the school hall to raise funds for Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services in Harold's Cross. Year groups visited the hall in turn for tea, coffee, and treats. Thanks to Ms. Maxwell, Ms. Talbot, Ms. McGill and all our TY students.
