On Wednesday last,  our under 16 Girls basketball team travellled to Old Leighlin Community hall to face the Ursuline Convent Thurles in what would be a great sporting contest between the schools.
 
Carnew started ahead leading 10-4 after the first and maintained a 6 point lead at half time.
In the third quarter, the Ursuline found the scoring touch and dominated Carnew in the third to leave it level going into the final quarter. 
 
The final quarter saw the schools match each other score-for-score until the last minute when Thurles got the final basket to take the win by three points. 
 
Well done to the under 16 Girls team who represented the school so well over the past few weeks.
 
A word of thanks to Old Leighlin for the use of the hall and all the best to the Ursuline in the final.
 
School basketball focus now turns to the under 19 Girls who have their semi final today in Old Leighlin also againt Scoil Ruain.
 
Thanks to all the teachers involved in coaching the team.

To celebrate Science Week, the Science department have arranged for National Reptile Zoo to visit us in Colaiste Bhride Carnew.

 

They had one-hour lectures with each first year class.

This has proven to be a very memorable experience for our first years who get hands on experience of handling a range of exotics reptiles and insects such as a Yellow foot Tortoise, Bearded dragon, Rosea Chile tarantula and a Milk snake.

 

 

The trained professional provide a unique learning experience which is still fondly rememberedby all pupils for many years to come.

 

Many thanks to the Science Department for organising this event as part of Science Week 2023.

The students challenged the French students to join them in a ‘Clothes Swap’ drive after Christmas, which we look forward to. Well done to the Green Schools committee.

As part of their task in LCA Enterprise, the 5 Laurel class got the opportunity to create their own mini companies, produce their products and sell their wares. Products varied from Christmas decorations, hot chocolate and keyrings to timber, customised number plates, kindling and origami. On Wednesday, 6th December, Market Day was held in the school gym where they got to sell their products to students from the national schools in Carnew and to 1st & 2nd Years from their own school. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned alot from it. This will be very useful when they come to writing up their task folder about their experience in the New Year. A special thank you to their Enterprise teacher, Ms. Elliott for all her hard work with the group. Well done to all.
