Global Issues Week
Global Issues Week ran from Tuesday 21st to Friday 24th of March. The aim of the week is to raise awareness about various global issues, but in particular how small changes we make can help in the struggle against biodiversity loss and the climate crisis. There was a poster display in the GP area, speeches made at assemblies, (thanks to Aoibhinn Keating and Chloe Vickers), and walking debates with all 1st and 2nd year groups facilitated by Transition Year students. This initiative is funded by Worldwise Global Schools. Well done to all who helped organise the week and those who got involved in the activities.
Basketball
1st and 5th year boys travelled to Avondale College on Tuesday, 28th of March. It was a very enjoyable day for all involved. The 5th years put up a strong fight against an excellent Avondale side. Every player stood out on the court. Notably Aharon Smith was very strong in defence and offence. Resulting in being fouled by an Avondale player 5 times in the one quarter. Bogdan Rusu was consistently under the basket in offence and defence, where his height was an excellent advantage to the CCA team. Callum Davis had great work ethic and was relentlessly hassling for the ball. He certainly didn’t make it an easy game for the Avondale players. From Ms. McCarthy and Ms. Miley thank you to all students who proudly represented the school.
Practicals
Congratulations to our Junior Cycle Home Economics students and our Leaving Certificate Music students who this week completed the practical element of their exams!
Orals
Our staff and students are continuing with the final preparations for the LC oral exams that are taking place over the Easter break. Our school community would like to wish the very best of luck to all students in the coming days.
