TYT is the home of the most exciting weekly events in TY - watch this space!

The TY Fridays provided opportunity for an array of workshops and guest speakers to enlighten, challenge and educate our TYs. Examples include, Discovery Gospel Choir, Workplace Relations, GOAL, Show Racism the Red Card, Recreate Business, Trocaire and the Irish School of Etiquette. A lot of learning took place outside the school campus such as trips to RTÉ for the filming of ‘Know the Score’ as well as with the school choir to lead Sunday Mass, Zeminar, Comedy Club, ITB, TY Expo, Reel Life Science, Fresh Film Festival Grand Final and BT Young Scientist. It wonderful to have finalists in latter three exhibitions mentioned above. Check out the NEWS archive for more.
