Day of celebration

Our 6th-year students marked their final day at De La Salle with a day of celebration. They enjoyed some well-earned pizza and wrapped up their time here with a spirited soccer tournament. Wishing them every success in the future

History trip

Our third years accompanied by their history teachers undertook a history field trip to Cork City. They visited St Finbarr's Cathedral, Elizabeth Fort and UCC. Through these visits, they were able to learn about a variety of topics, including the presence of Vikings in Cork, medieval crime and punishment, as well as the famine period.
