TYB Geography Beach Study

TYB walked to the South Beach on Thursday to do a beach study in Geography with Ms. A Kinsella, Ms. E Kinsella and Elaine. The weather was fabulous and it was a welcome escape from the classroom for the boys. The students got to do some geographical experiments at the beach and stopped at Murt’s on their way back from school. Thanks to the staff at Murt’s for catering for the students during a busy lunch time. An enjoyable trip was had by all.

A huge congratulations and well done to TY student Jamie Tobin who took the runner up prize in the recent Wicklow Student Enterprise Awards with his mini company and cookbook “Positively Delicious Recipes”. This is a fantastic and well -deserved achievement for Jamie. Jamie kindly donated the proceeds of his book, a whopping €6,900 to Pieta House. Well done Jamie we are extremely proud of you.

Indeed we would like to take this opportunity to wish all our students from the class of 2020 the very best in their upcoming 3^rd level exams and continued good luck for the future.
