On Sat May 11th, we in St Fintan’s High School are taking part in Darkness Into Light to help raise vital funds for Pieta and people affected by suicide and self-harm. All welcome to join us at 4.15am out the front of the school for the most important sunrise of the year on 11th May. Organised by our Prefects, Student Council and our Senior Hurling Team, and led by teachers, Sandra Guinan and Peter Ryan. Pieta House wants to make sure Pieta’s services continue to be FREE to anyone who needs support. They want to make sure that there is always a qualified Pieta therapist there to support someone in crisis.

It’s All Stars time of year again and trials have been taking place in the last few weeks ahead of the big game on the 3rd of May. We’re very much looking forward to the event again this year!

We’re well and truly back up and running after the Easter Holidays with lots happening all round the school! Well done to all the 6th Years who took their Irish and French Oral exams over Easter! Our Transition Years are out on Work Experience! We’ll be looking forward to all their stories on their return next week. Some of our 5th Year Business students visited the Central Bank today and a 5th Year Music group will visit the National Concert Hall tomorrow. In Sports this week, our Under 16 Gaelic Football team played Benildus today and our 1st Year Gaelic team will play Donabate on Wednesday whilst 1st Year Hurlers will play Colaiste Eoin on Friday. The big fixture of the week is on Wednesday with our Senior Hurling Team taking on Ardscoil Rís in the Senior A Dublin Hurling Semi-Final. Best of luck to all the team!
