Well done to our YSI members who took part in the YSI Speak Out last week in the Lime Tree Theatre. The results are to be announced on April 17th and the finals will take place in Croke Park on May 2nd. Our project aims to tackle the issue of exclusion due to physical disabilities. We are working to promote an inclusive environment for all and remove blind ignorance from society. We hope to take an important step towards the creation of a world which accommodates all the people who live on it. See MoreSee Less

Today some of our Ty students travelled to Neptune stadium in Cork. They competed in their first TY Wheelchair Basketball Regional Championships!
They made it to the finals and played a very talented team from Coláiste Pobail Bantry.
The lads raised €1200 in the process, which will go to the IWA. A great day was had by all!

Well done to our 17 students who competed in the Munster Indoor Schools Track and Field Championships in Nenagh yesterday, Wednesday, 8th March, 2023.

We had students competing in the 60m sprint, 600m/1000m, long jump, shot putt and relay events. Every student competed to the best of their ability and did our school very proud.
Jack Culloty ran strongly to claim silver in the Minor boys 600m race.
Isaac Vickers put in an excellent performance to win silver in the Junior boys 600m race.
Our Minor boys were crowned Munster Champions in the 4x200m relay.
The team members included Jack Culloty, Kiernan Kelly, Tobias Iheme, Rafsan Bhuiyan and Shane Tomlinson (reserve).

This competition was a great stepping stone for students as we look forward to the Kerry County Track and Field Championships which will be taking place in April.

Heartbreak for our senior footballers and their mentors today when, despite a really brave performance, they came up short against Summerhill of Sligo. Harsh lessons for young men, life isn’t alway fair and the best team doesn’t always win, and while the disappointment is hitting hard right now, in time there is no doubt they will look back on some great moments they shared and real friendships formed. These lads have been great ambassadors for our school and we are very proud of all they have achieved, the commitment they have shown and the manner in which they have represented St. Brendan’s all year. We congratulate Summerhill College Sligo on their win and wish them all the best in the final when they face Omagh CBS. See MoreSee Less
