National Tree Week Competition Winners!

1st and 2nd year woodwork students won first place nationally in the competition which was run by JCT and The Tree Council of Ireland for National Tree Week. The task was to create something regarding 'Trees and wooden material have a unique relationship with humankind'.

Our students chose to design a project which would create awareness about our environment and the importance of protecting nature. They used recycled and natural materials and created a ‘Biodiversity Village’ with various insect/bug hotels.

Congratulations and well done to all the students for their hard work.

St John Baptist De La Salle Tercentenary Celebrations - Knock Shrine

On Saturday 6th April, a group of students travelled to Knock Shrine. We gathered with other Lasallian schools to celebrate the Tercentenary (300th anniversary) of the death of St John Baptist De La Salle. We joined together with other members of the Lasallian community to celebrate the work of St John Baptist. Each of us took part in the ceremony by reading, singing, carrying a banner and a presentation. It was a really nice day that all of us enjoyed in Knock. It was nice to gather with all the other schools and learn more about the Lasallian community. All of us who travelled would like to thank Emilie and Emma for organizing the trip for us, for making sure we had our banners, blazers, permission slips and getting us to the bus on time. Most of all thank you for your help making sure we made it back to Dublin. We look forward to our next trip to Knock. It was a really great day and it was nice to see all the different De La Salle schools in one place.

Lasallian Competition 2019

With an early start of 7:00am on a Tuesday morning, nine Ardscoil La Salle students set out for Castletown, Co Laois on a mission. This mission was to represent our school in the Annual Lasallian Competition and maintain the excellent standard set in previous years. The theme for this year’s project was ‘Then & Now’. As a group of 2nd years, we created a ‘Back to the Future’ themed mode of transport. Our idea was to include three forms of transport that were/are/will be taken to school. These forms of transport were a wagon (past), an American School bus (present) and a hover car (future) with St John Baptist De La Salle as the driver.
