Goodbye Everyone !

It has come to this time of the year, where we have to say goodbye to Topbutton and its followers. We hope to pass on the blog to our future 4th years, but for now we must reminise on the blogs best moments.

To begin it started off in choosing our editiorial team and liason. This was the basis of forming Topbutton.

Editiors 2011-2012

Meaghan Collins, Nicole Cooney, Emily Clifford, Aisling Murphy, Jennifer Mackey and Gillian Ronan.

• It has been a very sucessful year for our blog with memories of our first 1,000 views to now our massive 35,573 views. We would like to thank all our followers for their contineous support.

• Topbutton was also nominated for the Eircom Junior Spiders awards ‘Best Web design’  award. The topbutton team travelled to Dublin for the awards and had an unforgettable day! This was a great achievment for the team.

• Also, we would like to thank Hannah Clifford for her amazing logo. Hannah won the logo competition back in November and her creation will continue on with topbutton in the future.

• As well as posts and pictures, topbutttons video crew really started to shine towards the end of the year with videos interviewing many past teachers, school committees and videos even from the peaks of croagh partick! The standards of these videos were great and much work went into the production of them.

• And lastly you cant have a school without knowing what teacher has the cutest pet !! Mrs, Thompson was the lucky winner of this special title !!

Very lastly…….from everyone at topbutton, we would like to thank Ms.Herlihy for her patience and dedication with both the blog and students involved. Without her there wouldnt be a Topbutton for us to enjoy !! We also wish all students undergoing exams the best of luck!! Do us proud, we know ye will!! Have a great summer.

Love ,

The Topbutton Team

 

Transition Year Class 2011-2012

A big thank you to all the TYs for a great night on your graduation ceremony. The TYs were a great bunch to work with and showed amazing enthusiasm, eagerness and energy. I wish you all the best in your exams and every success in your further studies. I’ll be practicing my Landshark over the Summer.

An Outing to Remember

Transition Years spent today, Thursday the 10th of May, in Cork on their final transition year outing. It involved a trip to Fota Island where there were various exhibitions including a cheetah run! The girls then continued the day with a bit of shopping where they then returned to Limerick. A big thanks to the TY Committee for organising the outing.

Ty Trip to Cork!

The transition years are heading away tomorrow morning on their day trip to cork which was organised by the TY committee and the ty co-ordinator Mr McKenna. They will first be heading into Fota Wildlife Park for and tour and then off into Cork city for a bit of shopping. Everyone is excited and cant wait to get going!

All of us here at Topbutton hope it all goes well for them and that the weather is good. We wish them the best and that they have a great time together!
