Both our junior and senior quiz teams took part in the Credit Union primary school quiz during February. Both teams performed well and represented the school with pride. We thank Ms Walsh who mentored the teams this year.

Returning Star Boys: Clanna Gael Under 21 Success
We were delighted to welcome several past pupils back to Star of the Sea following the Clanna Gael under-21s victory in the Dublin champuonship. Daragh Lawlor, Darragh McDonnell, Tom McGrath, Jack Flanagan, Oisín Darcy and Dean Holmes were fantastic footballers for Star in the past and they were happy to speak to our current pupils about how they achieved success as a team. The Clanna Gael players were kind enough to mention the development and coaching that they received while in Star. We are blessed to have so many great past pupils for our current boys to look up to. A happy occasion for the school and the community!
Carol Service
Our Christmas Carol Servive was a great success this year. The Carol Service is always a great team effort between pupils, teachers and families, with all working together so that the boys can perform many Christmas songs and carols to a high standard. Well done to all involved, and with St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church packed to the rafters, thanks to all who attended.

Athletics Season Comes To A Successful Conclusion
The Star of the Sea athletics team took part in the Cumann na mBunscol Dublin athletics competition in Santry during June. This event concluded a successful season for the athletics squad. Each athlete represented the school with pride. We were delighted to see pupils return to Star of the Sea with medals. This is a testament to the training and practice that they participate in throughout the year, both in school and outside of school. We are always thankful to Mr Collins and Ms O’Hara who run our athletics programme. Participation levels in third to sixth classes were at an all time high this year.
