“Where’s Bud?”In a variation on the “Where’s Wally?” books Mr. Morrissey is concealed in this Govs photo. This was an inspired touch from the Form VI students who all looked very well in their ‘glad rags’.

“Guitar Hero”

Julian Power channels his inner Lenny Kravitz while performing on

Prize day.

“All creatures great and small!”

Nick Daly had the unique opportunity of examining an anaesthetised cheetah during his work experience at the Gilabbey Veterinary Clinic. See article p. 29.

“Hooray for Hollywood”

Members of Form IV made a short film under the direction of Ms. Linehan. They won the Audience Choice Award at the First Cut! Youth Film Festival.

“Present Arms!”

Former members of Ms. McKillop’s horticulture module giving her a crossed

“The Old Dog for the Hard Road!”

“Let them eat cake!”

These Form IV pupils were participating in the Christmas Fair but Owen

McIlreavy on the right seemed bewildered by the whole business!

Our new D-P, Mr. Kevin Stanley “togged off” for the Portobello team to help make up numbers during the rugby tour in Scotland. This will probably not be the last time he risks life and limb for the good of the school! See article p. 52.

Fiona Quinn sports an impressive peacock’s tail of Jameson labels as part of her Junk Kouture ensemble. See article p. 32.

These members of Form IV were delighted when they received

their Junior Cert results this September. Aiga Adler, far right, is

especially pleased since she never sat the exam in the first place!

“The Paper Chase!”“Gimme Shell-ter!”

“Whisky Galore!”

Rather than Marie Antoinette, here we have Ciaran Lydon and Ms. Henry baking German macaroons to feed the masses.

Mr. Rory Graham, the school chef, tending to the roast pig on Sports Day.

“The Three Wise Men”

Ed and Sean Hayes (in black not purple!), performed in “Blood Brothers” but were not cast on the basis of being actual brothers!See article p. 20.

Barry Kenneally, Eric Scully and Rob Stafford were dressed to impress as they tried to persuade Santa to invest in their Mini-Company project! See article p. 31.

While most people stuck to the rules on Sports Day one pair seemed to change the

wheelbarrow race into a relay race.

“Blood Brothers”

“High on the Hog!”

“Model Students!”

“On the Straight and Barrow!”

This was a scene worthy of Woodstock as pupils got involved in the Holifest fundraiser for the Hope Foundation.

“Purple Haze!”

Here we see Ms. Cronin, Mr. Morrissey (junior), Ms. Power, Mr. Callender, Ms. Serret and Mr. Baker modelling dressed as students during the Fashion Show in Fota. See article p. 50.

This picture shows the staff and students that played in the testimonial soccer match in honour of Bud Morrissey’s retirement. Bud managed the student team which played in the West Ham strip while Mr. Nugent managed the staff in the Waterford colours. Fortunately for us Mr. O’Neill proved to be a very biased referee! See articles p. 57.

“Band of Budders!”

Weekend boarders at Crafty Hands Pottery learning how to make various ornaments and realising it is not as easy as it looks. See article p. 51.

“Elfie Selfie?”

“The Potter not the Clay!”

Form IV students on the ferry to Heir Island, clearly the excitement was too much for some people! See article p. 29.

A blinding array of Christmas jumpers were on display at the Christmas Fair.

“Rock the Boat”

Julian Power is shown in a poignant moment visiting the war grave of his Great Granduncle during the recent History tour. See article p. 55.
