It’s been an action packed albeit very wet start to the year here in St. Fintan’s. Our Transition Years enjoyed a very successful Ski Trip in Austria aswell as cultural trips to the city, cookery school, driving school, and workshops in forensics, first aid, hygiene and skincare, bodhrán playing and an excellent SOAR Workshop on mental health. We welcomed our French friends over to the school for the first part of the French Exchange. Our students will be making the return trip to France in April. Transition Years are also in back to back rehearsals for this year’s school musical ‘Oliver’ which will take place over three nights from the 13th of March! Sports as ever has been action packed with Senior Soccer action in the North Dublin Quarter Finals, Junior, Senior and TY Frisbee Cup, Junior Basketball v Malahide. Our Senior Rugby team fought valiantly against St. Michael’s with lots of support from fans who made the trip to Donnybrook on the day. Unfortunately, it was not our day but we’ll rise to fight another battle!! Full Sports Report to follow after mid-term. Our 6th Years and 3rd Years sat their Mock Exams and after alot of hard work and effort are looking foward to a break over the next week! We’re building up to celebrating the Chinese New Year with lots of events planned for the week of the 23rd-27th of February! Wishing all staff, students and their families a well deserved mid-term break with hopefully some sunshine on the horizon! Forensics Workshop Ski Trip Ski Trip
