St. Vincent's Secondary School has been involved with Trend Micro's Be Smart Internet Safety Programme for many years. The main aim of the programme is digital literacy and safety. Trend Micro's online safety and poster competition What's Your Story? was recently launched with a media push across Ireland to engage more primary and secondary school students with the campaign. The competition promotes the safe, responsible and successful use of technology among young people. Munster Rugby have been wonderful supporters of the work of Trend Micro over the past five years. Munster Rugby's James Cronin, Niall Scannell and Cian Bohane with Avril Ronan from Trend Micro Online Youth Campaign visited the school recently for a photo opportunity with St. Vincent's students to launch competition.

Staff and students commemorated and reflected on the events of 1916. The National Flag received from the Thomas Francis Meagher Foundation was raised in pride of place over the Main Entrance. A narration of the Events surrounding the 1916 Proclamation was performed by the first year students from Class Aislinn. It involved a drama production of the events of Easter Week including a reading of the Proclamation, poetry from Pearse and Plunkett and the singing of the National. A major focus of the day was the unveiling and reading of St. Vincent’s Secondary School’s Proclamation for a New Generation by TY students Class Éanna. This document reflects their vision for a modern Ireland which embraces people from many nations and cultures. A display of project work focusing on the women of 1916 was also presented. Mar chuid de imeachtaí Seachtain na Gaeilge 2016 d’eagraigh daltaí na cúigiú bliana 'Tráth na gCeist' do lucht na céad bliana. Dhein gach éinne a seacht ndícheall ceisteanna a fhreagairt ar raon fairsing topaicí. Bronnadh uibheacha seacláide ar na buaiteoirí. Bhain idir scoláirí agus oidí ceol (agus eolas!) as an ócáid.
In early March students from St. Vincent’s enjoyed a three day tour of Paris. The group comprised of over thirty students and four teachers. The activities included the following:
Students and teachers greatly enjoyed themselves Un grand bonjour de Paris! Nous avons passé un séjour formidable à Paris. Nous nous sommes très bien amusés ensemble.

Nous attendons notre prochain séjour en France avec impatience. À la prochaine fois……. |
