The Senior choir recently participated in two separate competitions in the Navan Choral Festival, conducted by Max Philpott.

In the Popular Music competition the choir finished in second place, having performed wonderful renditions of 'The Impossible Dream' and 'Bui Doi'. The choir were accompanied for this competition by TY student Rajiv Das.

Finally, the choir participated in the National Post Primary School Choir of the Year and placed a fantastic 3rd place out of all the choirs in the competition. As always, a wonderful achievement to claim a prize in any national competition so a huge well done to all the lads involved and particularly to 6th year Max Philpott for all his enthusiasm, dedication and leadership throughout the year.

Try to stay calm and take each exam as it comes.
We’re all behind you and cheering you on. Best of luck to each and every one of you — you’ve got this. 🍀

The Leaving Cert can feel like a lot.

Study. Sleep. Breaks. Pressure. Worries about what comes next.

To help make things feel a little more manageable, has created **Steady Through Their Exams**, a practical toolkit for students and parents during exam time.

The toolkit includes an interactive PDF that students can fill in and use throughout their studies, with simple pages to help plan the day, organise the week and check in when things feel overwhelming.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗸𝗶𝘁:

✅ Daily study planner

✅ Weekly planner

✅ Study notes page

✅ Quick reset tools

✅ Mood check in

✅ End of day reflection

✅ Support information for students and parents

This is not about adding more pressure.

It is about taking things one step at a time, building in breaks, keeping support close and reminding young people that they do not have to figure everything out on their own.
