COLÁISTE GAMES
For the month of October we are running a school-wide series of competitions aimed at giving our students a chance to showcase their many talents and to participate in different activities. Every student is allocated to a team according to their tutor group. Every competition allows the students the chance to earn points for their team to win a prize at the end of the games. Every week different events will be run which they can decide to take part in. The list of events, how to enter and the leaderboard, will be on display in the first and second year social area. Teachers also can award points to individuals as they see fit. BEST OF LUCK EVERYONE!
