HTAI HISTORY QUIZ
Four JC History students headed for Tallaght Community School on March 31st to take part in the Annual Junior Cert Table Quiz run by the Dublin History Teachers Association of Ireland. This very prestigious competition, second only to the Senior HTAI quiz, was well attended with 20 schools from across Leinster.
At the half way stage, St Pauls Hannah Duffy, Loura Cleary, Sarah Roche and Gemma Dunne were very
much up with the leaders, being only a point behind. As the rounds progressed, St Pauls kept pace with
the leaders being only a point or two behind. In the final two rounds, the students put on a great flurry
of points to tie in 2nd place with Clonkeen, agonisingly only one point behind the winners, 1500 pupil Gorey Community School. In the play off that ensued, St Pauls managed to get 4 questions out of 6 correct, while Clonkeen managed 2. The team eventually finished with a grand total of 52 out of 60, a great achievement.

MONASTEREVIN LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY |
We were very fortunate that members of the Local Historical Society opened our 2013/14 History week for us again this year. This time they decided to grace us with uniforms, weapons and stories from the 1912-22 period in Irish History. In front of a large group of 2nd and 3rd Years, both Eamonn Dunne and Barry Walsh kept the audience enthralled with tales of Irish and European history, from the trenches and beyond. |
