Prefect Team:
CCA’s prefect team were today presented with their badges at an extended assembly ceremony.
Being elected as a student leader is a very significant occasion. These students represent the student body in the school and will lead by example. They are role models who exhibit behaviour that should be aspired towards by all students. They make our school values a lived reality. Those values of respect, excellence in education, equality, care and community are central to making CCA the wonderful learning organisation it is. Our student leadership team demonstrate these values in their daily actions in school, in their attitude and in their behaviour. This helps to create a positive culture in our school, where everyone can achieve their potential in a caring environment, where everyone feels valued and respected, and where equality permeates school life.
Katie Taylor Interview
On Tuesday 26th Oisin Reynolds and David Mackey had the opportunity to attend the launch press conference for Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron 2. The lads were given the opportunity to watch the press conference and when it had concluded they were able to interview the two fighters and the promoters. David interviewed Chantelle Cameron and Oisin interviewer Eddie Hearn and Katie Taylor. In another interview Katie was full of praise for Oisin saying he was a gentleman and that he will go very far in life. The lads both gained valuable experience at this event.
