A lot of you went to Glendalough and Kilkenny on the ISI trip and seemed to really enjoy yourselves, despite the weather! Some of you had your family over from your home country and travelled around Ireland to see the different sights. I hope you all had fun and your family enjoyed it.<br \/>\nExam season is now upon us, and you all have been working very hard. Remember to take plenty of breaks and walks to stretch the legs and clear your minds \ud83d\ude0a Don\u2019t stress about them and take each day as they come. Some of you have only over a month to go so please make the most of your time here. Go on trips at the weekends, or join your school club, and try to make as many friends as possible, because before you know it you\u2019ll be back home again.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you all have a great weekend, and stay happy and stay safe \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<p>From the high school team.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bruna, Emilio, Maebh and Sarah<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!-- Final Tiles Grid
