On Monday, 10th October, Mr Priestley and eight 1st Year students - Stratford's first Futsal squad - entered a tournament organised by the FAI.
At the beginning of October, eight students from first year formed Stratford College’s first Futsal squad to enter FAI competition. They competed at St Catherine’s Sports Centre against teams from Drimnagh, Synge Street and Ringsend in the south Dublin regional tournament.
The tournament took place as a league format, with 5-a-side games of eight minutes deciding which two teams would play-off to progress to the next round.
The Stratford side battled hard and gave a good account of themselves but did not qualify from this stage. Their attitude and will to compete was in evidence as they came close on several occasions against strong opposition.
Ultimately, the players are eager to improve and aim one day to represent south Dublin in regional competition.

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!
