The final leg of the German exchange involved a farewell party culminating with a Bavarian/Irish rendition of the dance classic - The Macarena! The students then travelled to watch an ice hockey game at the home of the 'Blue Devils' in Weiden. It was time to say goodbye the next morning where there were tears and hugs a plenty. 

The group are home safely after what was an action packed and amazing experience for all involved. Once again, thanks to Leargas Ireland who coordinate the Erasmus + programme which made the exchange possible. 

A special word of thanks to Ms. Burke, Ms. Deegan and Ms. Heffernan who accompanied the students on the exchange. 

All first year students took part in a Maths Quiz in the school gym this morning. This annual event is organised in support of the ongoing promotion of numeracy in the school and to promote the fun aspects of the subject. Many thanks to the maths department for organising it. Results to follow. 

Our students and teachers are enjoying their last few days in Germany on what has been an amazing and enriching experience for all involved. 

On Wednesday, the group travelled to a World Heritage site -  the Roman settlement of Regensburg. They later visited Walhalla where they took in the breathtaking views and even managed to fit in some shopping on the way. Watch this space for further updates!

Remember, if you are not in, you can't win! 

The Junior hurling team traveled to Bagnelstown on Wednesday 11th to take on PDLS in the south Leinster championship. Going into the final group game we knew a draw or win would give us top spot in the group and a home semi final. The game was played in atrocious conditions as constant heavy rain made it hard for both sides to settle into the game. It was the home side who started well, opening up an early four point lead. The Colaiste Bhride boys grew into the game and soon pegged PDLS back to one point midway through the half. However the Bagnelstown side finished strongly to open up a lead of 0-10 to 0-5 at half time. 

The transition year hillwalking module continues to provide a welcome break from the classroom for the students involved and contributes to student wellbeing.

Each week, the students take on a challenging hike across counties Wicklow and Wexford.

Yesterday, the group set out at the start of the Gibbet Hillwalking trail near Bunclody before joining the Coolmelagh trail. This took them through dense woodland and to the base of the wind turbines.

Thanks to Mr. Eugene Murphy who coordinates the walks and to all the teachers accompanying the students across the term.

The rescheduled first year sports day took place today at Carnew Emmets GAA grounds.

The students were accompanied by their base class teachers, Meitheal leaders and members of the school P.E. department. There was a detailed plan in place with a range of sporting activities and games planned with an emphasis on inclusion, respect and fun for all.

The weather was on side for the day and the students had a fantastic time. 

Among the more popular activities were the 100m sprint, soccer, rounders, wellie throwing and egg and spoon race. The teachers accompanying the students also got a chance to show off their talents and skills, some more than others! 

A special word of thanks to Mr. Anthony Holly (Year Head)  and all the staff for their meticulous planning of the day.  

The students took a break from their studies today to visit the towns of Parkstein and Weiden. The group visited a local newspaper and a museum featuring a simulation of a volcano. The day was enjoyable as well as informative.
