'Pending', a Conlethian band made up of Sixth Years Zalán Kovács and Michael Jones released 'Payback' (open.spotify.com/album/0tp0Xucf…) in July and Dan Hegarty 'The Alternative Show' of RTE Radio 2 featured it on his show and voted it his song of the week. Watch out, Pants on Fire!
And the first (of, hopefully, many) member of the Class of 2024 to fall victim to our cub reporter's selfie-cam is... Emilio Sadofschi! As well as Gav Maguire (Class of 2000), but he is always hanging around the place!
85 years ago, today, Bernard Sheppard founded St. Conleth's College. In some ways, we have changed immensely but in the important things, not at all. We raise a prayer, a song and an ice cream cone in honour of that enduring vision!

O'Dualings on the Double! Mr. and Miss O'D (and tusty sidekick, Mr. Toal) accompanied 1B to the Museum of Modern Literature for a workshop titled 'Shut Your Eyes and See', which explores Irish literature, past and present, hoping to inspire the next generation to read and write.
Muralist Vanessa Power is working with student artist volunteers to create the school's new mural in the Hall.

Almost...almost... yes! It is finished! Muralist Vanessa Power (@signsofpower) has completed our new school hall mural with the help of student artists, gangmaster Louise Halpin and patron, CEO Tony Kilcommons!
Boomer Reunion! The Class of 1968 (and '66) enjoyed an impromptu gathering at The Dropping Well! Thomas Rogers, Anthony Roche, Bryan Strahan, Gerald Mooney and John Corbet (in no particular order) reminisced about the good, old days... and never looked once at their phones!
