For the second year in a row our “Gairdín Glas” has won the Platinum Award in the Wexford in Bloom competition. The judges were so impressed with our range of plants, our “Outdoor Classroom” and our biodiversity areas that they gave us the top award in the competition. Congratulations to our Green Flag Committee and all who have helped to make the garden such a wonderful asset for the school; a special word of thanks to parents Helen Mc Lean and Senan O Reilly for all their work in the garden. This is a photo of members of our Green Flag committee Sinéad O Reilly, Liadh Dwyer, Ms. English and Senan O Reilly receiving the award.

This year we grew 2 sunflowers in “An Gairdín Glas” and they are now flowering. We took a photograph of 2 sixth class and 2 junior infant pupils beside one of the sunflowers. When Mr. Gately stood beside the sunflower it was even taller than him.

3 past pupils of the Mercy School will tog-out for the Wexford Ladies Football team competing in the All-Ireland Junior football final against Offaly in Croke Park on Sunday Sept 29^th 2013.

Mary-Rose Kelly is the wonderful goal-keeper who has made many valuable saves to make sure that Wexford reached the final.

Kellie Kearney is the hard-working and skilful mid-fielder who powers the team forward.

Katie Redmond is the team’s top scorer and free-taker.

All 3 ladies first played football in our school and we are really proud of their achievements so far. Let’s hope that they can bring the cup back to Wexford and we will get them to visit the school if they do.
