The Battle of the Cube continues… ⚡️
Staff vs Rang a Sé is really heating up!
Yesterday, Mr Foley kicked things off with a win for Team Staff, setting the tone early in the week.
Today it was Ms O’Callaghan’s turn to represent the staff, taking on a very determined 6th class boy! It was an intense, nail-biting showdown right to the very end…
But today’s result is still unknown… 😮
We’ll find out tomorrow who takes the lead in the Cube! 🎲🔥

We are very proud of our Rang a Sé pupils who made their Confirmation today 🤍
A special day filled with joy, reflection and celebration as they took this important step in their faith journey. They conducted themselves with such maturity, respect and pride. They are a credit to themselves, their families and our school community.
A sincere thank you to their teacher Ms Dunne and Ms Kelliher for their dedication and all their preparations with the class in the lead up to today.
We would also like to thank the pupils and their families for their support and presence on this very special occasion.
Special thanks to Father Fitzgerald and Bishop Crean for their presence and for making the ceremony so meaningful.
