Christmas Festivities at Taylor's
The Christmas season at Taylor’s was filled with activities, and celebrations that brought the school community together.
Exciting Trips and Activities
On Monday, December 11th, the 5th Years enjoyed a day of ice skating at Galway on Ice at the docks, while the 6th Years attended a screening of Wicked at the Palás Cinema. Midweek, the festive fun continued as 1st and 2nd Years gathered for a movie afternoon on Wednesday, watching the classic Home Alone.
Thursday was a busy day for the Transition Year (TY) students, who hosted their annual Christmas Enterprise Fair in the morning. The event showcased their creativity and entrepreneurial skills (check out the photo gallery for highlights). Later, they joined in the ice-skating fun at Galway on Ice.
Choir Highlights and Performances
Ms. O’Boyle and the school choir spread festive cheer with a series of performances across Galway. On Thursday, December 12th, they participated in the Live Crib at Galway Cathedral. The choir also visited St. Joseph’s Special School on Saturday, December 14th, where they performed a selection of Christmas songs.
A highlight of the season was their participation in the Le Chéile Galway Schools Carol Singing. This unique event brought together the choirs of the three Le Chéile schools—Taylor’s, The Bish, and Salerno—for a day of performances across all three schools.
The term concluded with the annual Carol Service, which celebrated the spirit of Christmas with the entire school community and the Dominican Sisters.
