Last week it was “History Week” and we commemorated
the centenary of the 1916 Rising. Our history classes decorated the Atrium in
honour of 1916 with projects, artwork and letters.
Last Friday, we also had a former
student and who is now a member of the Irish Defence Force read out the
Proclamation followed by a film created by 4th years, Jordan Kane and Amy
Louise Hall on 'Being Irish'. We had a variety of events on in the school which
included talks with different guest speakers, a 4th year history trip to
Collins Barracks and Glasnevin Cemetery, a re-enactment of the rising on Friday
and announcements that reported the events that happened during the week of the
rising. We also received a flag to be raised in a national ceremony on the 15th
March.
Here is a collection of some of the projects that were on display last week.
