I am delighted to welcome you to this 5th Edition of our Digital Newsletter. It has been a busy start to 2025 and this edition of the newsletter speaks volumes in terms of all the wonderful things that are happening in LETSS, both inside the classroom and beyond. There are many highlights that come to mind in terms of co-curricular and extracurricular activities. Some of the highlights here include both our Senior and Junior Ski Trips which saw students and staff tackle the slopes of Axamer in Austria and Madonna di Campiglio in Italy. It’s fantastic to see skiing grow from strength to strength in our school. More recently, we were delighted to welcome and host students and teachers from La Reunion as part of an Erasmus+ Exchange programme and we are already looking forward to the return trip in 2026. These are just some examples of so much more! We continue to witness our students excel on the sporting field in soccer, athletics, basketball and badminton to name but a few. Hurling and Gaelic Football continues to grow as our student body increases. Creative Arts continues to flourish and this is evident in the art classrooms, artistic performance and of course, in the rehearsals that are in full swing for Aladdin - The Musical, which takes place next April in the Lime Tree Theatre. We have seen incredible work by students and staff with our awareness campaigns and charity work and this is an aspect of school life that we are very proud of. One of the big highlights of 2025 is the Belong To LGBTQ+ Quality Mark which the school received this month on the back of an amazing whole school effort which was steered by the Proud Together Committee in LETSS. I invite you to have a read of this edition of our digital newsletter. Well done to all our students, staff and parents who have contributed to a wonderful 2025 to date in LETSS.
