Tuesday, 10th April and the Sam Maguire Cup arrived in Stratford! Students and teachers alike, all got to hold, touch and lift this beautiful and oh-so-famous cup! Thanks Mr. Priestley for organising this for us.
There was cause for celebration at Stratford College this month as both the All-Ireland and Leinster trophies stopped-off on their tour around the county.
Eager students posed for photos at lunchtime in the French room, many sporting 'Dubs' jerseys from Mr. Priestley's extensive collection which were also generously on loan.
The 'Sam Maguire' was accompanied on a visit of the primary school by Laura Kelly and Alex Doherty, who acted as custodians for the day.
The significant weight of both trophies was noticed by staff and students!
Many thanks to Mick Seavers at Dublin GAA for facilitating this event.
Mr. Priestley

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.
