As Principal nothing brings me greater
satisfaction than to witness our students
blossom into the best versions of
themselves. It fills me with pride to see them
not only excel academically but also grow into
more socially aware, compassionate and
resilient individuals. Watching them embrace
challenges, learn from mistakes, and become
wiser with each experience is truly rewarding.
This transformation is made possible in De La
Salle College by the dedication and hard work
of our caring staff and the unwavering support
of the Board of Management. Their tireless
efforts and commitment to our students’
success serve as the foundation upon which
our school community thrives. In particular I
would like to thank all the staff involved in
Seachtain Na Gaeilge and Catholic Schools
Week held during the Spring Term.
As we enter the final term, our focus naturally
shifts towards academic pursuits, with
students preparing diligently for Summer and
State Exams. I urge all parents and guardians
to join with us in supporting their efforts, by
creating conducive study environments,
minimizing distractions such as phones and
gaming and encouraging dedicated study time
or participation in After School Study in the
college. Together let us ensure our students
have every opportunity to succeed
academically and continue their journey
towards becoming the best they can be.
Again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to each
member of our school family – parents/
guardians, staff, the Board of Management,
the Parents Association and our students for
their ongoing dedication and commitment to
excellence.
I hope you enjoy reading the Spring 2024
Newsletter. Special thanks to the editorial
team and to all the students and staff who
wrote articles for this edition.
