First class visited Bray library today.  We got to read some very interesting and fun books.  There were so many cool books to choose from.  

A huge well done to Alana Murphy Porter and Dylan Mason in 6th Class who recently won their categories in the Bray Alcohol Awareness Campaign poster competition! Today, joined with their families, they were awarded two beautiful trophies and a really generous One-For-All voucher in a beautiful lunchtime ceremony at the Barracuda. Check out some pictures and tweets below!

Even though it is tough work, we know that the team are having a lot of fun... 

A lot has happened since our last update. Our 4th class flag is slowly making it’s way up Everest. Our flag reached Advanced Base Camp on the 27th April. It then returned to Base Camp on 1st May. You might be wondering why the team had to come back down to Base Camp. This is because of the high altitude. Rob needs to acclimatise to this high altitude to prevent altitude sickness. After a few days rest in Base Camp, the team (and our flag) travelled all the way up to Camp 1 which is at 7000m. They arrived at Camp 1 on the 8th May. Today, 9th May, the team returned to Advanced Base Camp. All...
