Table Quiz: The Parents Association Table Quiz, held last Wednesday evening in Kenny's Pub, proved to be a fantastic success. A sincere thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to such an enjoyable community event. The atmosphere on the night was lively and welcoming, with plenty of friendly rivalry and competitive spirit on display as teams battled it out across a wide range of challenging questions.
There was no shortage of fun, with laughter echoing throughout the venue as participants put their knowledge to the test. A wonderful selection of spot prizes and raffle prizes added to the excitement and ensured that there were plenty of winners on the night.
Importantly, the funds raised will go directly towards the purchase of new school laptops, supporting students' learning and access to technology. The generosity and continued support of the school community is greatly appreciated.
Basketball: Well done to our 1st yr basketball team who qualified for the East Boys Shield A Final on Tuesday after an impressive 41-30 win against Templeogue College. Nathan Adjinakou (11), Billy Gogarty (18), Alfie Donohue (4), Aidan Forster (4), Daniel Breen (2), and Jack Collins (2) got the team's scores.
1st Years Basketball Team
Our 2nd yrs were beaten by Templeogue in their Shield semi-final, going down 49-42 in a competitive and high-quality encounter. Nathan Adjinakou impressed again with 23 points, with Daniel McDevitt (6), Elliot Reilly (5) and Sam O' Brien (2) and Max O' Neill (4) and Daniel Kavanagh (2) getting the other scores.
Fundraising: Last Friday was a day of colour, community spirit and generosity as 23 Transition Year students volunteered their time to support the Oesophageal Cancer Fund by selling lollipops in Lucan. From 9am until 3pm, students were stationed outside Centra in Lucan Village and Spar on Dodsboro Road, proudly representing both the school and this very worthwhile cause.
Dressed in bright pink and white Oesophageal Cancer t-shirts, our volunteers were certainly hard to miss! Their enthusiasm, friendliness and good humour made a wonderful impression on everyone they met.
We would like to sincerely thank the managers and staff of Centra Lucan Village and Spar, Dodsboro Road, for so kindly facilitating our students. Their support and cooperation made the day run smoothly and ensured our volunteers were warmly welcomed.
A very special word of thanks must go to Ms. Casey for her fantastic work in organising the event and securing permission from both shops. We would like to extend our sincere thanks also to Muintir na Tire Hall in Lucan Village for their very generous donation of 200 euro towards the fundraising event. Ms. Casey, who is involved in running the Hall, arranged the contribution.
The fundraising efforts were not limited to Friday alone. Throughout the week, students eagerly purchased lollipops in school to support the cause. A particular mention must go to our 1st yr students, who were especially kind and generous - although the delicious strawberry-flavoured, fruit lollies may have helped boost sales!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the local community for their phenomenal support throughout the day. The final amount raised will be known next week.
Hurling: Our 1st yr hurlers produced an outstanding performance last Thursday to secure their place in the next stage of the Dublin League with a commanding 4-14 to 2-3 victory over Clonkeen College. Eoghan Ware (1-6), Eoin McKenna (0-1), Luke Whelan (0-1), Will Keane (1-6) and Noah Buck (2-0) got the team's scores.
From the throw-in, the team showed great determination, skill and teamwork, setting the tone early with some excellent points before clinically taking their goal chances. Their work rate throughout the pitch was impressive, with strong defending, sharp passing and intelligent movement creating numerous scoring opportunities.
Eoghan Ware, Eoin McKenna and Daniel Breen were the standout performers on the day, each making a significant contribution to the team's success. However, this was truly a squad effort, with all 25 players seeing valuable game time and playing their part in a well-deserved win. Well done to the entire panel on a fantastic team performance, and best of luck in the next round of the league.
Our 2nd yr hurlers faced a very strong challenge last Friday as they took on Maynooth Community College in their second and final group stage game of the Dublin League. Despite a determined effort, they were beaten on a score-line of 10-12 to 1-5.
There were some well-taken scores on the day, with Rory Dowling (0-2), Liam Whelan (0-1), Finn Brunton (1-0) and Daniel Kavanagh (0-2) all contributing to the scoreboard. The team will now compete in the Shield competition.

Lucan ICA Visits St Joseph's: A huge thank you to the ladies of Lucan ICA who visited our TY students this past week for another crocheting workshop.
