Our Senior Debaters took part in the opening round of the UCC Philosophical Society debating competition last night (8th December 2022).
Sam O’Farrell and Pierce O’Neill progress to the quarter finals whilst the remainder of the team have a second chance to qualify in an upcoming debate. Well done!
We were treated to a week of wonderful music, art and craft work here at Glenstal this week in a celebration of the many talented artists of all genres and calibres that we have here.
Many thanks to all the participants for their hard work.
Fr Oasan from the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal were here on Saint Nicholas Day to collect the many toys and presents which will be gifted where most needed this Christmas. Well done the entire school community for their support for this annual appeal.
On Saturday 15 October we welcomed prospective First Years and their families to the school. Our Fifth and Sixth Year prefects did an excellent job providing tours of the school and sharing their experience of Glenstal with parents and boys alike.
A number of students from each Year Group created display stands in the Atrium to showcase Glenstal and talked to visitors to their stands on the day. Many visitors commented on how much they enjoyed meeting our students.
A big thank you to all the staff and students whose efforts made the day such a success!
