We welcomed Irish soul and pop singer, Sion Hill to Loretto School this afternoon as part of his nationwide campaign to raise awareness of bullying. He sang for 2nd Form - 5th Form pupils (see previous post - live broadcast) before sitting down to open up about his personal experiences with cyberbullying and discrimination. He also performed his new single, Beaches, from his latest album Elephant, which is now available to buy and stream on all platforms. Sion said: "With the evolution of social media, our attention spans have become shorter than ever. Rarely do we do anything without needing to film or document it on our smartphones. "Beaches is a call for a revolution of the self; to step away from the online world for a moment and think about what is really important,concentrate on real relationships and read something that's longer than a page long article on college times."

Sion Hill live from Loretto School.

‪All systems go! We are gearing up for Sunday's Loretto School Prep and Junior Schools Rugby 7s and Hockey Tournament.‬

‪A big thank you to all who supported today's Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

Into the wild. Intrepid explorer, Mr James Ketchell will be visiting Loretto on Monday, 2nd October and speaking to pupils at both the Junior and Senior School about his incredible adventures. On 1st February 2014, James became the first and only person to have rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, successfully summited Mount Everest and cycled 18,000 miles around the world. Seven years prior to all this, he was recovering from a serious motorcycle accident that left him with broken legs as well as a severely broken and dislocated ankle. The prognosis was that he was likely to suffer a permanent walking impairment and would certainly not be able to continue the active physical lifestyle he had enjoyed up to that point. James talks with candour and enthusiasm about his response to that challenge and the way he has, in his words, ‘without doing anything special’, set about physical tasks that most of us can only imagine experiencing.
