🎭 DAY ONE 🎭

It looks like the sun won’t be coming out tomorrow for poor Annie ☀️ but who will be chosen?
Will we be spending our Money, Money, Money on a trip to Greece? 🇬🇷 Will we be singing around the campfire at Camp Rock? 🏕️ Or will Ms. Trunchbull be the new principal of St. Colman’s ahead of this year’s musical? 📚
I guess you’ll have to wait and see….

AI and Our Kids’ Future – Free Parent Webinar Next Thursday, 10th September at 8pm
A quick reminder that our free parent webinar, AI and Our Kids’ Future, takes place next Thursday, 10th September at 8pm.
With AI developing so rapidly, many parents are wondering what the world of work will look like for their children - and what skills, choices and opportunities will be be important in the years ahead.
In this webinar, I will be joined by leading technology and AI expert Mr James Gorry to explore what these changes could mean for our children and how parents can begin thinking about their future.
We would be delighted if you could join us next Thursday evening, and we would also be grateful if schools could share this reminder with parents in their school community.

🎶 We didn’t go to the Zach Bryan concert - but our classroom Room 11 did!

On the 20th and 21st of June, country music star Zach Bryan played two sold-out nights at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. Our Raspberry Shake seismometer here in Room 11 picked up the seismic signal from the crowds - over 25km away!

According to the Irish National Seismic Network (INSN), Zach Bryan’s encore “Revival” was so powerful it was detected more than 125km away - in Kerry, Wexford and Tipperary. Zach Bryan’s crowd even out-shook Metallica, who were playing in Dublin the same night! 🤘

A special shout-out to INSN technical officer Paddy Smith for spotting our data, alongside our friends at Coláiste Éamonn Rís 👏

Science is everywhere - even in an encore 🎸
