- In May 2009, 13 students from St. Peter's College were the overall winners of the Young Social Innovators of the Year. In a collaborative project with Coláiste Bhride, Carnew, students from both school published a book entitled "Twenty Fifteen". This book was a collection of poems, stories and artwork relating to poverty and the Millennium Development Project. Students from both schools also took part in a poverty week for the project. For a week, they could only have 3 basic meals a day, they were not allowed any electronics and they had to have lights out at 9. They compiled a resource on poverty week which was distributed to schools around the country.

Famous quotes containing the word achievements:
“There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
