CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX APPEAL 2019 As part of our Wellbeing and Citizenship modules in MEC we are appealing to students to become involved in the Shoebox appeal for 2019. As a large school community, we have the opportunity to make a real difference this Christmas. We hope that many homes in Maynooth would have a few bits and pieces in their homes this October and November. It should not cause a financial strain if the students can get organised and start gathering a few things together over the coming weeks. Maynooth University Prizes Congratulations to our sixth year students who were recipients of Maynooth University Prizes based on their excellent results in their fifth year exams. 3 rd Year Singing Success It was wonderful to see 3rd yr.
