All Ireland Lego Champions: Mr Smyth, Ms. Dorrepaal and the six girls from GPS travelled to Norway on Monday 13th of May representing Ireland at the First Lego League European Finals. We wish them all the best.
The FIRST LEGO League is a global engineering competition that combines robotics, engineering, and coding with real-world problem solving and team work. As part of the competition, 6 girls from Mr. Smyth's 6th class designed and programmed their own robot. They also identified a problem and used the engineering design cycle and technology in an innovative way to solve it. The girls have worked tirelessly with their research, alongside the other aspects of their project, to achieve the incredible feat of winning the All Ireland finals. The girls are Ava, Caitlin, Hollyann, Mollie, Tara and Kayleigh. Their group name is 'GPS - Girls Play Sport'.
GPS has researched and found that there aren't enough girls of their age playing sports and that girls quit sports at a young age. They have carried out multiple school surveys to over 350 pupils. The girls have also designed a prototype website (to help increase young girls' participation in sport).
This group of remarkable young girls were invited to present their research project in Norway this May at the Open European Championships of the FIRST LEGO League. This is equivalent to the Olympics of the FIRST LEGO League. It is a unique opportunity for these girls to showcase their hard work, research, and contribute meaningfully to the sharing of information surrounding women in sport.
Congratulations!
Basketball Success: Congratulations to our girls' basketball team and our boys' basketball team who both won their finals at the Dublin Mini-Basketball Finals at the National Basketball Area recently.

Tree Planting and School Pond
Over the past few months the children have been busy helping to build a pond and plant 584 trees in the school. We are the first school to implement both programmes simultaneously. We are hoping to build an outdoor classroom in this area in the future. Thanks to John Kiberd and his team from Stepping Stone Forest and all the volunteers from #AWSInCommunities, who made all of this a success.

A Word from our Principal
On behalf of the Board of Management, staff, parents and pupils, I welcome you to our school website. We are a Catholic primary school in the Parish of Firhouse. The school was established in 1977 and caters for pupils from third class to sixth class. We have 430 pupils and a staff of 32 at present. We endeavour to provide a caring, happy and secure learning environment, where the spiritual, physical, moral, cultural and intellectual needs of our pupils are looked after. There is a wonderful sense of community evident in our school and it is the hard work of staff and students with the support of parents that makes Scoil Treasa truly unique. I hope you enjoy learning about our school and are encouraged to continue visiting both our school and our website.
Best wishes
Gerard O’ Meara
