The Lego Competition was a big success this year.  Run by the Parents Association and judged by Lucy Rainey of LUCA Architecture, this year there were more entrants than ever before.  Lucy Rainey gave a fascinating presentation to the boys at a school assembly about the work of an architect.  The boys were fascinated as Lucy described why and how she trained as an architect.  Suitably inspired, the boys turned in some creative masterpieces of construction.  Every entrant received a prize and one boy from each class received an extra prize.  Thanks to all who assisted with this competition.

As part of a letter writing project, Ms Mannion’s senior infant class walked to the postbox in Sandymount, where they posted their letters!  Well done to the boys on completing this assignment!

We celebrated International Women’s Day at Star of the Sea.  We are fortunate to have wonderful female role models on our staff.  This year, some of the boys’ mothers kindly gave of their time to talk about their lives and careers.  The boys were an interested audience and had many interesting questions for the Star mums.  We thank the Parents Association for organising this International Women’s Day event.

Bhaineamar taitneamh as na gníomhaíochtaí éagsúla i rith Seachtain na Gaeilge.  Bhí tráth na gceist ar siúl sa halla.  Bhí ceachtanna rince ag na buachaillí.  Mar is gnách in ár scoil, ghlac na buachaillí páirt i gceolchoirm mhór ar ‘Lá Glas’, an lá roimh Lá Fhéile Pádraig.  Bhí a lán Gaeilge in úsáid timpeall na scoile.  Tar éis Seachtain na Gaeilge, bhí gach buachaill sona sásta.  Buíochas le Ms Mulhern agus an Coiste Gaeilge.

Our senior athletics team took part in an event run by the Dublin City Sport and Wellbeing Partnership.  The boys were delighted to compete at the National Indoor Arena in the Sports Ireland Campus.  Every athlete did their best, with Star of the Sea taking first place in the 4 by 100 metre relay.  Our tanks are extended to Mr Collins and Ms O’Hara for training boys in the senior school each week and to the parent volunteers who accompanied the boys to the event.

As part of Catholic Schools Week, Ms Doyle’s junior infant class welcomed their grandparents to the classroom.  The boys were so excited to receive their guests.  It was a great morning of fun and excitement!  Thanks to all the grandparents who were able to attend.
