​St Vincent’s 6th Year Art students had a fantastic start to the new school term when they were treated to a very informative guided tour of the Crawford Art Gallery.  

The tour was specifically aimed at supporting our students’ work within their Leaving Certificate Examination 2018. Paintings, sculpture and stained glass works by Irish artists past and present were discussed in a student-friendly manner with the girls, giving them plenty of inspiration and new ideas for their own future artworks.  

Many thanks to the Crawford Gallery Education Office for their continuing support of St Vincent’s budding artists. 

Transition Year students from the 2017/18 class visited the Cork English Market recently.  They are currently researching a project on the Market, its people, the foods for sale and the local history. In their Home Economics class they will cook dishes with fresh local produce and some interesting ingredients.  A taster session is greatly anticipated!

​This summer SVSS student Lauryn Homan was one of two Irish players chosen to attend the 11th edition of the Fiba European Womens’ Basketball Summit in Slovenia.  She attended the camp for a week and met up with players from all over Europe.  Lauryn enjoyed the experience, learning new skills, making new friends and experiencing what international standards are like in other countries.  Lauryn is a member of the SVSS U16 Basketball Team,  U16 Brunell Ladies’ Team and she is also a member of the U15 Irish Squad.                                                           Congratulations Lauryn!
