We recently went up to Belfast on our Civic Link trip. We met with Ms. Lawlor and Mr. Walsh at 9.30am in Dun Laoghaire to get the Dart up to Connelly Station; from there we transferred trains to the Enterprise which would bring us to Belfast Central Station. The Enterprise took two hours to reach Belfast, but it didn’t seem so long as we just entertained ourselves playing cards and listening to music.

As part of our Civic Link programme we went with Movilla High School to Glendalough on a 2 night trip.

SKIN AND BLISTERS....

This was the title of a performance given by Team Educational Theatre Company to all junior cycle girls and some parents, on the 19th November.

Holy Child, Sallynoggin, Dublin, provides more support for special needs students than any other school in the city, topping the recent Irish Times list. Principal Eileen Morris is determined that inclusion permeates the ethos of the school, writes LOUISE HOLDEN

HOLY CHILD Sallynoggin transfers students to UCD, NCAD, DIT, DCU and Mater Dei. The school has a science block, art studios, soccer pitches, tennis courts, a sports hall and a dance studio. Famous for its arts and music division, the school offers dance tutorship for all students with RTÉ choreographer Pat Howe. Every student gets a chance to play the instrument of their choice in the school band.
You’d pay a lot to send your child to a school like that, wouldn’t you?
