Colaiste Clavin’s drama group staged their murder mystery ‘Cafe Murder’ by Nathan Hartswick on Thursday evening. It was an enjoyable evening and everyone enjoyed watching students showcasing their acting talents.

Second Year Geography Students visited Dunmore Caves outside Kilkenny City where they saw several dripstones formed by the Process of Carbonation. The caves are also home to several species of bats and it was a site of a Viking massacre. After they went to view the impressive Kilkenny Castle in the city.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting the inspirational Tomi Reichental a holocaust survivor. He spoke to our students about the Holocaust and his experiences at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. His time during World War 2 was moving and harrowing. Pictured below is Tomi Reichental with Mr O’Connell the History Teacher who organised the visit; some students
