Sports Day

On Wednesday 3rd May, CCA held our annual Sports Day event. The event was a massive success and such an enjoyable day for everyone! Huge thanks goes to Kilcoole GAA Club for permitting us to use their pitches and facilities. Our PE Department organised a fantastic day of fun and activities for all! We had spike ball, penalty shootouts, long puc, relay races, high jump, fitness testsfun races, rounders and much more. Staff, students and parents worked together to ensure a day to remember! What a special day making memories with our whole CCA community and to witness the fun and sportsmanship that was experienced on the day!

TY Trip

Last week, TY students travelled to Causey Farm. They spent the day making pizza, pedal boating, going around the farm, bog jumping, Irish dancing, learning to play the bodhrán and participating in team building activities. They then travelled to Drewstown House for an overnight stay before travelling to Navan Adventure Centre the next day for a day of mini golf, pedal go-karting, bubble football and laser tag. A fantastic two days was had by all. Lots of fun had and many memories made.

Student Congress

Last week, CCA held its second Student Congress of the year. Student leaders from across all year groups came together to review the actions since the last Congress and to set targets ahead of the next academic year. Students discussed teaching and learning, extra-curricular activities and many more school-related issues, including the planning for the celebration of CCA’s 20th anniversary. A special thanks goes to Ms. Page for all her work on the Congress and to 5th Year student Cayden Elliott for facilitating the student sessions.

Student of the Month Awards

This special CCA initiative has been a focus of our school's approach to promoting the holistic development of each student. The students who received the awards have excelled in all areas of school life during the past month. Well done to award winners!
