Marist Geography Week was celebrated recently, a jam-packed week with numerous events. These included scavenger hunts using Ordnance Survey Maps of the school, Grid Referencing skill activities and quizzes. Both Junior and Senior students got involved in a wide range of activities. A Geography Table Quiz also took place for 1st and 5th year students led by our Marist Leaders.

We also linked in with our Green Schools Committee engaging in daily litter picking and recording a Podcast. Lastly, we planted a beautiful oak tree in memory of our friend and Geography teacher Ms. Cryan.
