Big Welcome to all our New First Year Students!🖐🖐

We were so happy to welcome our new 1st Year Students to Chanel last Thursday for their first day of secondary school! With lots of smiling nervous faces in front of me, all I could think was to try to keep this experience as normal as it always was despite the wearing of masks and restrictions in place! They did so well, kept their masks on, followed instructions and got comfortable in their new classrooms and school.

Chanel U-14s produced a cup final performance to claim their first silver of the year at Stella Maris Friday. Playing into a stiff breeze, Chanel were indebted to their super keeper Jude McKenna for three top class saves in the first half alone. Slowly, the Chanel defence marshalled by Connolly got on top of the tall and pacy Portmarnock attack. Callum Dunne dominated the centre forward with his physical presence. Reece Moloney was very dependable at left full and Cal...
