Congratulations to two of St Paul’s secondary School's past pupils, Monasterevin who have been awarded academic scholarships from the Institute of Technology, Carlow.

The scholarships were awarded due to these students' high points in the Leaving Certificate. The scholarship winners were Nicola Mahar who is studying for a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies and Elaine Buckley, who is studying for a BA (Hons) in Legal Studies. Both students are in the first year of their course.

The equine tradition continues also in St Paul’s with five students from the school taking part in the All-Ireland inter schools hunter trials in Ballyhale, Co Kilkenny recently. A team of Ciara Fahey, Brendan Fahey and Ronan Whelan took on a challenging course of 25 fences. A tiny snag at the coffin fence meant they were out of the winner’s enclosure. Shane O’Mahony competed in the senior championship, and was unlucky to shave the top of the knockable fence. The youngest competitor was first year student Mark Morrissey who rode a great round in testing conditions, with the same coffin fence posing a problem! Congratulations to all for their excellent turn out of their horses and better luck next year.
