Coláiste is Buzzing!!
Congratulations to Coláiste Students Noah van Wyk, Damian Tomkow and Mohammed Seyf who found a unique Bee specimen which is now housed in the National Museum of Ireland. They collected the Violet Carpenter Bee specimen. This is only the second ever specimen of this very rare insect found in Ireland. They received a fantastic letter from Dr. Aidan O’Hanlon, Curator of Entomology at the National Museum of Ireland thanking them for their find. We are very proud of our students and hope they continue their interest in wildlife in the future.

Geography field trip
On Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th October the 6th year Leaving Cert Geography class went on their field trip to the Glenbarrow waterfall. The group carried out several experiments that they will use to complete their Geography project. The geography project accounts for 20% of their Geography Leaving Cert exam. Well done to all the students for their diligence and hard work on the trip.
