We’ve had a busy start to the year already kicking off with our Open Night which took place on the 16th and showcased to prospective students and their parents the many academic, sporting and extra-curricular activities on offer in St. Fintan’s High School. The night itself was a colourful display of student’s achievements across the curriculum, sporting displays, science experiments, craft workshops and a speech and welcome from Principal, Ms. Kathy Mullen. Transition Years have had some wonderful sunny September days to experience sailing and getting to grips with their tacking and jibing while just enjoying being out on the water and experiencing the thrill of sailing! The TYs have also attended a Careers Expo to inspire and inform themselves on the variety of career options out there! Meanwhile, back at base, auditions for the annual TY Musical are complete and it’s full steam ahead now with rehearsing, dancing and designing a stage for the big nights next March. Good luck to all. Sports activities have well and truly kicked off with the Senior Basketball team playing against Portmarnock Community School , St. Paul’s, Malahide and St. Finians, two Senior Hurling matches played and a cross country running event which took place in Donabate. Here’s to a great active and productive October when we will celebrate Dyslexia Awareness Week starting on the 8th of the month with events planned throughout the school!
