Blue Run, 10th May

There’s still time to register at the event for the Blue Run taking place today.

While I won’t be there myself due to a family commitment, I’d like to wish the very best of luck to all participants!

Flynn Park Adventure

Tuesday, 13th May

We’ll be heading to Flynn Park, Balbriggan this coming Tuesday. Students should meet at the Ailesbury Road Gate at 8:20am, ready to depart promptly at 8:35am.

The day will include two activities:

Aqua Lough Water Park
- What to bring:
  - Swimwear, sunscreen, a towel, and a full change of clothes. A wetsuit and buoyancy aid will be provided and must be worn over your swimwear.
  - No footwear, jewellery, watches or glasses (except prescription goggles) are allowed on the course.
  - Changing areas are communal (one male, one female), with public rinse-off stations.
  - Lockers are available for valuables only; all other items should be left with a non-participating group member and are the responsibility of the owner.
Paintball
- Important: Please wear suitable footwear – no open-toe shoes allowed.

We will be returning to school for approx 2:30pm after which TYs are free to leave.

Sports Day

Friday, 16th May

We’re looking forward to Sports Day next week – our final whole-year group event of TY.

We'll be speaking to the group this week to go over schedules and arrangements. It promises to be a great way to round off the year together.

German Exchange - Farewell and Safe Travels

Best wishes to our German exchange students as they head home this week. It’s been a pleasure having you with us and we hope to see you again!

Prize Day – Congratulations

A huge well done to everyone involved in this year’s Prize Day. The range of talent and achievement on display was truly impressive – congratulations to all who were recognised and to those who supported them.

InterAction Council – Representing St Michael’s

Congratulations to the students who represented St Michael’s College so well at the Intercontinental Hotel this week. Your conduct and contributions were exemplary. Sincere thanks to Mr Hogan for his support with the arrangements.

Gambling Awareness Workshop

Our thanks to Tony O’Reilly for his impactful workshop on gambling addiction. His honest and informative talk offered invaluable insights into a serious issue affecting many young people and families in Ireland.
