“Well done to another outstanding tennis team from St. Fintan’s High School.  The team did very well to reach the final of The Leinster School Boy’s Tennis Tournament. The final was held at the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club and the team battled it out on court against St. Andrew’s College. It was St. Andrew’s time to bring the cup home.  The team had a fabulous day at Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club. A special thanks to Rob Turpin who coached most of the players as Juniors. Thanks to Orna Morrissey from Sutton Lawn Tennis Club, who coordinated the logistics of court allocation for all of our teams.  We look forward to competing in this tournament next year and hope too see our tennis players on the court during the summer.”

6th Year Graduation

Last night, we had a wonderful and special graduation evening with our departing 6th Years. The sun shone again for our graduating class as they entered the hall looking resplendent in an array of gorgeous suits. Together with their parents, families and teachers we paid tribute to a year group that have achieved so much in the last five years. Their academic, sporting, artistic and outreach work were highlighted in a video  specially compiled by Mr. Smyth. After receiving their certificates and yearbooks, Head Boy, Anthony Sheridan gave a powerful and witty speech remembering their time here. It was heart warming to see the bonds that this group have made together and their celebration of each other’s diversity and unique talents. The fantastic music and singing led by Ms. Fox was uplifting and meaningful. Thanks to Mr. O’Donoghue and Ms. Considine for coordinating such a beautiful final goodbye! We are so proud of you, Class of 2025 and wish you every success with your upcoming Leaving Certificate and beyond. We know you will make a significant impact on the world. Best of luck all!

This week, we celebrate our founder, Blessed Edmund Rice whose feast day was on Monday, May 5th! We honour and give thanks for the life of Blessed Edmund Rice. His feast day is a time to celebrate his unselfish work for others. Edmund Rice had a great love for all of creation. We pray for our planet and for communities across the world as we unite to live in harmony with allof creation. Blessed Edmund faced personal pain during his own life and showed resilience and great faith in God. He lived through the challenging times of revolution, the Napoleonic war and famine. Today we pray for all those in Ukraine, Russia and across the world who are suffering because of war or violence. Guímid ar son na síochána san Úcráin, sa Rúis agus ar fud an domhain. Edmund welcomed people from manycountries into the port city of Waterford. He extended the hand of friendship and helped people find work so they could start a a new life. Today we offer sanctuary in our schools and across Ireland and welcome those displaced by war and seeking refuge. We celebrate his Life, Love, Spirituality and Charism. We give thanks for his vision and mission, the raising up of the poor and the oppressed to be pillars ofChrist’s presence in our world.
