    Monday/ Tuesday
    TY BLOGS:
    This Monday and Tuesday we
    were requested to start
    setting up our TY blogs which
    we were very excited about.
    Our blogs are used to
    document everything we do in
    TY. Soon you will be able to
    get access to all our blogs
    from the TY website.
    We will be regularly updating
    them with pieces about our
    trips,
    work
    experiences,
    projects and more.

    ECDL started on Monday & Thursday last week. It


    takes place in the Computer Room and is taught
    by Mr Craig. It was explained that there are seven
    modules that we can complete to gain different
    grades of certificates.
    The modules are taught using online e-learning
    and we have to take a test at the end of each
    module to get that much-valued certification. We
    got started immediatly, eager to learn. We
    looked through slides that we would then be
    tested on later. We thoroughly enjoyed our first
    class and cant wait for the next one.

    CARA System:

    HOCKEY:

    The TYs were told that this year we


    would be doing the CARA system, acting
    as buddies for the 1st Years.

    On the 19th of September The


    Academy Team beat Loreto
    Foxrock with Isabelle O Brien
    scoring twice.

    The girls will be meeting up with their


    first year CARA for Hot Chocolate on
    Monday while the boys will be meeting
    thiers on Thursday.

    The Senior 3s drew 1-1 with


    Amy Carroll scoring.

    We all found out who our CARA were on


    Thursday and are looking forwardto
    meeting them all next week.

    On the 23rd of September the


    Junior 1s sadly lost against St.
