Open Night Success

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:54:09 +0000

St Leo’s Open night was held Wednesday 9th November 2011 from 6.30pm – 8.30pm. Great crowds were in attendance from early evening with guided tours being given around the school by Prefects and Meitheal Leaders. Displays of student’s work along the corridors and in the classrooms received great admiration from all visitors and evidenced the variety of activities on offer in the school.

The Principal addressed the crowds at 8pm and spoke of the range of academic options available to students. She emphasised the high level of academic standards pursued and set in the school and congratulated the class of 2011 on their results, so many of whom had achieved in excess of 500 points. She also spoke about the array of extra-curricular activites that combine to make the school such a vibrant community following which a short variety performance was showcased, displaying the wealth of talent that we are proud to boast of.

Registration is currently open for the 2012/2013 academic year and enquiries can be made by calling into Reception or by contacting (059) 9143660.
