Head Girl's Welcome

Head Girl's Welcome

Welcome to the 2025/2026 school year! As your Head Girl and Deputy Head Girl, we’re excited to welcome all students, especially those joining us for the first time, along with their families and new staff. We hope you had a great summer and are ready for a positive and successful year ahead!

To the first years, welcome to our school. Starting a new chapter can feel exciting, overwhelming and everything in-between. Just know you are not alone, everyone from teachers to mentors and students are looking out for you. Best of luck with your secondary school journey.

Second years, welcome back to another school year. It’s great to see your familiar faces and to have the halls filled with your energy once again. You made it through first year. The year of finding the way, learning the ropes and discovering yourselves. This year is about building on what you have started, learning more and creating new friendships. Best of luck with starting your CBAs this year.

Third years, this is your final year of the Junior Cycle. You have the confidence, curiosity and the determination within you to take on your exams. Put in the effort this year so you can enjoy next year. Best of luck with your exams.

TYs, welcome to Senior cycle. This year is all about growing personally, socially and academically. Try everything this year, get involved in all of the activities, the more you put in the more you get out of it. It’s a great year to make new friendships with people in your year group. Just remember you don’t have to you get to!

Fifth years, this is the year you start Leaving Cert prep. One piece of advice we would give is take it day by day. It’s the year to figure out what study habits work best for you. Just focus on showing up, doing your best and being kind to yourself along the way. You are capable of more than you know and this year is just the beginning.

Our fellow sixth years this is our last year of being Pres girls. This is the final push towards the leaving cert and all the hard work we have done is going to pay off. This will be a hard year in the buildup, but we have all put in the effort. Take it step by step. Take breaks and ask for help. This is the year we prove how far we have come. And just remember we are all in this together.

As we look ahead to the new school year, we’re excited to continue growing together as a strong, supportive community of students, staff, teachers, and parents. We want to sincerely thank our dedicated staff for their incredible commitment to excellence. Your hard work, both in and out of the classroom, does not go unnoticed—we are truly grateful for all you do to support our students and uphold the high standards of our school.
