<p>On Tuesday 21st March 6th Year Higher Level students attended the Helix to see a production of their Shakespearean text, Macbeth. Produced by Cyclone Rep the play took a modern take on the original Shakespeare show. Macbeth, a successful businessman, becomes embroiled in a vicious quest to both take power and then hold onto it. It was great to see Ciara Doran volunteering to perform a line of the play during Macbeth’s Banquet Scene. Well done Ciara! The English Department hopes that the visit to Macbeth will be beneficial to your studies as you prepare for your exams.</p> <p> </p>

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar delivered a speech, in which he expressed that he believed the tricolour is “integral to our national identity”. The Irish flag is a symbol of pride, respect and peace, and stands for the inclusion of, and aspiration for, unity between people of different traditions on this island. There was a display of traditional Irish music, after which students were presented with an Irish flag, that had been flown at the 33 the Mall, where Thomas F. Meagher first flew the Irish flag. It was an incredible opportunity and a thoroughly enjoyable experience! </span></span></div> <div style="border:0px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;"><span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;">Thank you to the Thomas F.

<p>Dear Parents / Guardians,</p> <p> </p> <p>We have been informed of a case of head lice in one of our Junior classes.

<p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#424242;">Dear Parents & Guardians of Sixth-Year,</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#424242;"> </span></em></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#424242;">The State Examinations Commission (SEC) has recently been in touch with schools and has confirmed the following:<span style="border:none 1pt;padding:0cm;"> </span></span></em></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#424242;"> </span></em></p> <ul><li style="color:#424242;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:inherit, serif;border:none 1pt;padding:0cm;">The Leaving Certificate Music Practical Performance Tests for 2023 will be held in school term in advance of the Easter holidays.

The Music Department will give the details to students.</span></em></li> </ul><p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#424242;"> </span></em></p> <ul><li style="color:#424242;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:inherit, serif;border:none 1pt;padding:0cm;">For the 2023 Leaving Certificate, it is intended to extend the arrangements that applied in 2022 for a further year and to conduct the Oral examinations, by SEC appointed examiners, during the Easter holidays. For the 2023 Leaving Certificate (Established), oral examinations will be held in Irish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Lithuanian and Portuguese. It is intended that oral language examinations be conducted over a six-day period commencing on Saturday 1st April and concluding on Thursday 6th April 2023. All of the days (Saturday to Thursday inclusive) will be available for scheduling these examinations. In the event that the SEC cannot facilitate all of the examinations in the 6-day period, two contingency days have been identified. The contingency days are Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th April 2023. Decisions on the use of the contingency days will be made by the SEC in conjunction with the SEC appointed examiners, not the school. Candidates who miss their oral language examination due to certified illness (from a medical professional) will be facilitated in mid- late May with a later examination. In the interest of equity and fairness, the SEC have stated that it will not be possible to make bespoke arrangements for individual candidates, groups of candidates or schools. This includes, but is not limited to, sporting events, competitions, school trips, holidays or appointments..</span></em></li> </ul><p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:inherit, serif;color:#424242;border:none 1pt;padding:0cm;"> </span></em></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;background:#FFFFFF;"><em><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:inherit, serif;color:#424242;border:none 1pt;padding:0cm;">It is therefore very important that all sixth-year students are available for their oral examinations during all the dates specified above.

It took us awhile to get into the first quarter and unfortunately this is when Cabra really dominated and did some damage. St Mary's fought really hard in the quarter 2 and reduced Cabra's lead. The final 2 quarters were a real battle. We had lots of shots on target but just not enough luck. St Dominics Cabra secured the win 19-14. <span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px 1px;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:inherit;">Congrats</span> to Stephanie Behan voted Dame of the Game by her team mates. </span></div> <div style="border:0px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;"> </span></div> <div style="border:0px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;"> </span></div> <div style="border:0px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;">On Monday 20<span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;color:inherit;">th Feb we were in action again against local rivals Maryfield College. The game kicked off to a wonderful start with St Mary's gaining a quick lead. The quarter was a good test with St Mary's winning it 8-4. Quater two continued in a similar fashion with the team working hard to develop their defence and rebounding skills. In the final two quarters St Mary's pulled away with a strong lead and dominated the game. The team won 29-9 and should be delighted with their efforts and teamwork. <span style="border:0px;font:inherit;margin:0px;padding:0px 1px;vertical-align:baseline;text-decoration:inherit;">Congrats</span> to Ava Hinchy voted Dame of the Game. </span></span></div>
