Festival of Music
The DDLETB Festival of Music took place in the National Concert Hall yesterday (the 13th of March). The event had to be rescheduled due to Storm Emma but it was well worth the wait for all those who were in attendance last night.
A massive congratulations should be paid to all our students who participated; Aaron Meehan 5th Year, Orla Mulvey 5th Year, Wisit Nigon 2nd Year and the college choir (pictured below). All should be congratulated on their fantastic performances.

6th class students and teachers from Bishop Galvin were visitors to our science lab for the last two Wednesday afternoons. During this time they got hands on experience using scientific equipment and got a taste of what they will experience as first year students in September. A huge thanks to all the 5th Year Biology students who helped out on the day.

GAA Update
The Boys Under 14 team suffered a narrow defeat in the Leinster Semi Final against Cross and Passion from Kilcullen, Co.Kildare. The team did exceptionally well to come back from 8 points down to level with five minutes left before Cross and Passion got two exceptional late scores. We are very proud of the Boys efforts throughout this long campaign (which started back in September) and they represented the school with distinction at all times.
We wish Cross and Passion the very best of luck in the Leinster Final.
