A group of TY students reached the Regional Finals of the AIB Build-A-Bank competition, held in Leopardstown Pavilion on Thursday, 16th March. It was the first time a Stratford team entered the competition and a lot of experience was gained as a result.

This year a group of TY students entered the AIB Build-A-Bank competition for the first time. The group reached the Regional Finals of the competition held in the Leopardstown Pavilion on Thursday, 16th March. The aim of the  competition is to create a school bank with a focus to developing links with community. The TY students - Eoin, Tim, Molly, Megan and Rebecca - organised this year's School Table Quiz in December, in aid of St. Vincent de Paul. Every Wednesday at lunchtime the bank was open.

Well done to all involved!
