Celebrating Jessa’s Texaco Art Competition Success

School School — Fri, 29 May 2026 10:42:05 +0000

We are delighted to share a further update on Jessa Jukic’s success in the Texaco Children’s Art Competition.

On Tuesday, May 27th, Jessa Jukic (2 Ward), accompanied by her family and her Visual Art teacher Ms Norton, attended the official awards ceremony at Druids Glen Hotel, where she received First Place in Category B (ages 14–15) for her stunning coloured-pencil portrait of her sister Jolié, titled I Want to Be Under the Sea.

It was a wonderful occasion celebrating young artistic talent, and we are delighted to share photographs from the day.

Congratulations once again to Jessa on this outstanding achievement — we are extremely proud of her.

Best wishes to our Third Year students

School School — Fri, 29 May 2026 07:52:04 +0000

I would like to extend my very best wishes to our Third Year students in their upcoming examinations.

They are a wonderful group who have grown so much—both academically and personally—and have built strong friendships over the past three years. They have worked hard, and now is their time to show all they have learned.

I would also like to express my sincere thanks to the Religion Department for the beautiful prayer service on Wednesday. It was a special and uplifting occasion, offering students a meaningful moment to reflect, feel supported and approach this important time with a sense of calm and confidence.

All the very best in the coming weeks and I hope you enjoy a well-deserved, happy and relaxing summer.

Le gach dea-ghuí,

Planting Seeds of Hope

School School — Fri, 22 May 2026 12:40:04 +0000

1 Poyntz Religion class planted summer bulbs on Tuesday. We busily cleared out old beds, weeding, raking and preparing the ground for new life. We each planted a flower bulb in an organic container and dug a hole in the earth for it. It felt good to be outdoors. Our final task was to water the bulbs and wait for the sunshine to do it’s magic! We look forward to tending the flowers, our seeds of hope, over our time in Loreto Foxrock.

Foxrock Games 2026

School School — Tue, 19 May 2026 10:44:14 +0000

Last week we had our amazing Foxrock Games and what a fantastic day it was for our school community.

There was a brilliant atmosphere throughout the day with huge energy, teamwork and school spirit on display from all year groups. Events like these would not be possible without an enormous amount of work behind the scenes.

A huge thank you to Joanne Brock for all of her hard work and organisation, and to all staff, students and volunteers who helped make the day such a success. We had over 35 parent volunteers and we would like to thank them for taking time out of their day to join us in the fun.

Well done to everyone involved.

1st year Home Economics – it has been a busy term

School School — Mon, 18 May 2026 07:02:16 +0000

As we come to the end of first year, our Home Economics students have been very busy using their sewing skills to produce a range of craft items. A fantastic variety of skills and talents were displayed. We encourage all students to continue developing these skills over the summer.

Using seasonal fruit, students also learned how to prepare, cook, and serve dishes such as apple and berry crumbles, smoothies, and bruschetta. We also made protein energy balls—an ideal snack for when you’re on the go during exams and over the summer holidays. Get a well deserved rest over the summer and hopefully you can revisit some of the skills learned over the past few months.

Congratulations to the class of 2026

School School — Fri, 15 May 2026 17:48:19 +0000

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 as they marked the end of one chapter this afternoon. Our 6th year students, together with their parents and teachers, gathered to celebrate the completion of their time in school in the beautiful Foxrock Church.

We wish each and every student the very best over the coming weeks and months as they prepare for their exams and take the next steps in their journeys. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and look forward to seeing all that lies ahead for them.
