The school bank.

Hey Hey Hey everyone. Something very exciting has happened in Ty (aswell as many other exciting things), The school has opened a school bank. It is sponsored by the bank of Ireland and it has a team of management. Two weeks ago the bank of Ireland sent the info to our teacher and sent us an application form. A number of Tys applied and Tuesday of last week the interviews began. I had mine at twelve o clock. I was quite nervous but excited aswell. Two member's Of management from the Bank of Ireland came and gave us the interviews, they were very nice and welcoming. Two days later on Thursday I found out I got the job I went for, The sales and marketing manager. I was so happy and still am. Now alongside my team, we plan on making the bank a huge success and achieving our goals in order to win the rewards offered to the school, members of the bank and to us. This Monday the 7th of December will be our bank launch day and we hope it will be a stunning success. Hope you all get a chance to come down and open your own account and see what exciting surprises lye in store for you. This is such an amazing opportunity and I already love the job. I look forward to all the exciting tasks to come our way very soon.

hey hey hey, its Amber day :)


Hey Hey Hey everyone, Today has been a very exciting day. The date is December 4th but in our school it was better known as Amber day. Over the past three weeks or so the students of TY and the the religion teachers have been working extra hard to make this day a huge success. The aim of Amber day was to promote mental health and positivity around the school as well as work towards getting the schools Amber flag. The students have been making posters, noticeboards, decorations, going around the classes spreading the word, and more as preparation for this day. We had different committees such as PR, Events, Noticeboard, Website, and more.  Each group had a job to do in order to make amber day a success. as well as those groups there were also committees for the day itself. We had the face-painters, The bake sale group, The positivity fairies and the Buskers as well as the website girls getting pictures of the day and presenting the new website for us.. Each student played their part and in result, making the day a huge success. The TYs arrived dressed in Amber the morning of the fourth and headed straight to the Library. We set up the chairs into a circle and sat down. Four girls from Ty went and gave the morning announcements and then played some music. Afterwards we got together with our positivity posters and emoji's and took some pictures. It was really great fun. After little break we began decorating the library and writing down positive quotes as well as discussing mental health and giving examples of how to deal with stress. Then the positivity fairies went to all the first years and most of the third years to hand out amber friendship bracelets. Sadly we didn't have enough for the entire school but its the thought that counts. When we returned we began setting up the hall for the bake sale and the library for the face-painters. Soon lunch rolled around and amber day fully began. The whole school got involved and I could see hundreds of girls with their faces painted eating cake wondering the school which made me quite happy. The buskers in the first year mall were excellent as they sang for the school. Absolutely beautiful. Before the end of lunch half of The tys were to go to the mill for Pe the rest stayed back to clean. It was a excellent day and a huge success. hopefully we made everyone's day a little more positive. I really enjoyed this day and everything about it. I hope the school did too. Ive already heard some lovely feedback which has made me feel proud for all of us. Stay positive everyone and have a great day <3

hello there ..... MR PRESIDENT

HEY HEY HEY. Another amazing trip with ST Wolstan's. The date is October 8th and the Ty classes have taken a trip To the lively streets of Dublin. Alongside our English teachers Mrs Brogan and Mrs Holmes we take the bus the our capital city. Our first destination was the National Library of Ireland where we would visit the Yeats exhibition. We split into two groups. We headed into the Library and explored the Yeats exhibition. Every aspect of his life, From birth to death and everything in-between was there on display. As you may have guessed we have been studying Yeats and his poetry in School so attending this exhibition has definitely been of benefit. Not only educational but it was also great craic. My friend and I were walking around and we had a great laugh as we walked into the dark room and thought we were being chased by a ghost. We also ended up standing behind the screen where the movie was playing and the security guard thought we were part of the movie hahah.
 As we were about to leave the exhibition the security guard at the door told us the president was about to arrive. We all quickly assembled into a line ready to introduce ourselves to the president. He arrived  alongside his wife, The general and some security. Sadly he was in a Rush so it was a quick meet and greet. Looks Like we weren't the only ones visiting Yeats today :). We left the library and headed towards the Wold War One exhibition across the road. Inside we explored the room, Listened to some music and got an exclusive insight one World War one from the security guard.
We walked back to the Library so we could meet the rest of The Ty class. As we waited on the street just after they arrived the President came outside and we got a big group picture. He was very nice and his wife also talked to us for a few minutes. Then they were rushed into the car and drove away. We were all very happy. It was now time for lunch and we were given time to explore Grafton street in search for some lunch. My friends and I went for a lovely McDonald's. We then went to get some Ice cream. Just before we were too meet with the year group again we spotted a band plying some music at the end of the street. We all gathered around and started singing and dancing along. Our own mini dance mob. Tourists were recording and the band was cheering. The whole year group had joined in aswell as many other tourists and fans. The atmosphere was electric and it made the day. We started walking towards the national museum of Ireland for our final tour. As we walked people cheered and clapped, some football fans ran over to us with the Irish flags cheering, it was quite entertaining. We explored the museum and the bog bodies. I really enjoyed them and found them quite interesting. There was another school there  too and we were chatting for a while.
After a very exciting day we found our bus and went home. It was a lovely day.
