Monopoly in Third Class
The boys of Third Class have been working hard on their Monopoly skills, every Wednesday afternoon for the past three weeks.
They have invited adults from home into their class to play the game with them.
So far, lots of adults have taken part.
All this fun is in preparation for the NCI Inter-Schools Monopoly Competition, taking place on Thursday, April 2nd in the college.
On the night our boys will take on competitors from St. Laurence O'Toole's Girls' School, St. Joseph's Eastwall, City Quay N.S. and Ringsend. Three of our parents will act as bankers for the night too.
The games will continue for the next two weeks, on Wednesdays from 1.45 until 2pm.
