The Student Council celebrated its end of year lunch in Poole’s restaurant in Carnew. It was a lovely opportunity for the council to come together and reflect on what has been a very busy year. Our newly elected first years left their sports day to join the lunch and are already a great addition to the council. It was also a bittersweet event as we also started to say goodbye to our 6th years, most of whom have been on the council for years. We wish them every success and we sincerely thank them for all they have contributed over the years. Thank you also to Poole’s for the beautiful lunch and fabulous service.. Special thanks to Ms Murphy who works so hard with the council.

CBC All Stars Bank did themselves and their school proud as they presented a cheque for €1,000 to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin on Monday 14th May. The team of Alanna Davidson, Aishling Winterbotham, Killian Byrne, Molly Rose McDermott, Marie Doyle, James Doyle and Kate McConnell made the Bank of Ireland School Bank a real success this year by opening up over one hundred new accounts and raising money for charity along the way. They held a Jersey day back in November where members of the school community wore a jersey of their choice and donated money to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin. Dervillia Beirne, a nurse from Our Lady’s Children’s Hopital and a sister to Ms. Caroline Beirne travelled down to Colaiste Bhride to accept the cheque on their behalf. Thank you so much to all involved in what was a very successful school Bank.

As part of Positive Health Week a basketball match was organized between the teachers and departing 6th Yr students. While the game couldn’t be played last Friday due to the poor weather, we managed to play reschedule it for Tuesday lunchtime on the outdoor basketball courts. The intense rivalry has built up over the last few weeks with rumors of extra training on both sides. This certainly showed on court with the students getting off to a great start with some good early scores. However the teachers played some good defense and managed to turn the ball over and score to keep in touch. The lead changed hands on numerous occasions but in a fitting finale the teachers managed to score a last ditch basket to tie the game. A fair result to a highly competitive game played in a great team spirit. Thanks to all who participated and a special word of thanks to Ms.McGettrick who gave up her place on the team to referee the match. Teachers: Ms. Dermody, Ms. Loughnane, Ms. Murphy, Ms. Lancaster, Ms. Beirne, Ms. Lavelle, Mr. Douglas, Mr. Doyle, Mr. King, Mr. Davies, Mr. Hegarty. Students: Keith Crosbie, Peter McSwiney, James McSwiney, Frankie Kavanagh, Diego Molomphy, Lorcan Rossiter, Sean Murphy, Grainne Hughes, Rita Doyle, Aoife Kehoe, Ava Young, Katherine Conroy, Emma Poole.

Twenty-one of our Transition Year students had the opportunity to visit the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin. The aim of the trip was to provide students with an understanding and insight into the Irish Courts System. On the day, students were offered the opportunity to partake in a mock trial, facilitated by a barrister of the Courts Service. This allowed them to fulfill various court roles including barristers, solicitors, witnesses and members of the jury. In addition, our students and teachers were fortunate enough to be afforded the chance to sit in on actual court proceedings, including sentencing proceedings and a murder trial.

On Wednesday, 9th May, ten first year girls took part in a 7 aside football blitz in Ballinkill. Despite the weather, the girls came out fighting and played exceptional football. Playing Avondale and DCW in the first round the girls were on a home stretch as they bet both teams. They met Scoil Chonglais in the semi-final where the score line was very tight up until the last few minutes where Carnew took charge and won the game. They went straight into the final where they were up against a strong team, St. Kevins. Both teams battled strong and played an outstanding game of football. At full time, the teams were level at a score of 4-5 to 5-2, during extra time Carnew proved to be the better team on the day with the final score 5-6 to 8-3. Well done to: Niamh Murphy, Hannah Doyle, Eimear Byrne, Melissa Doran, Karen Tomkins, Saidhbhe Byrne, Aoife Stafford Aoife Kinsella, Sarah Doyle,Shauna O'Shea

Our Spelling Bee has become an annual event over the past 5 years and the decision was taken last May to open the competition to all KWETB schools. This is a Student Council initiative which has gone from strength to strength over the years. There was a great response from schools and Coláiste Bhríde was delighted to host the final on April 25th. In total, 5 schools competed with 15 teams taking part. The schools that took part were Glenart College, Ardscoil Rath Iomgháin, Avondale Community College, Confey College and the home team, Coláiste Bhríde. The event was hosted by Student Council members Aoife and Ciara Breen and consisted of 7 elimination rounds. The words became progressively more difficult and after a number of tense rounds, it came down to 2 teams; Confey College and Coláiste Bhríde. The teams could not be separated after another round which brought the competition to a tie breaker round. This was the difference between the teams with the Coláiste Bhríde team of Ross Bailey, Isabella Ní Chonaill and Juliette Ní Chonaill coming out on top. The tie break words were parliamentary, oesophagus and kaleidoscope. The winning team was presented with the brand new perpetual trophy, kindly sponsored by The Educational Company of Ireland (EDCO). Alan Wright from EDCO presented the trophy to the winning team. We were also delighted to have Ainé O’Sullivan, Acting Director of Education, with us on the day to address the students. It was a great event and we look forward to a bigger and better “Let’s Spellebrate” final next year.

Special thanks must go to our two TY students, Marie and Laura who looked after the teams. Football: Two teams arrived in Ballinakill to compete in the first year football blitz. Team 1 played first against Baltinglass 2. They performed very well as a team and won by a comfortable margin of 4-5 to 1-0. Team 2 were up against Avondale CBS this was a very entertaining game which could’ve gone either way but ended up a draw. Team 1 got a bye so it was Team 2 playing again. They played a strong Arklow Gaelcholaiste side who would end up playing our other team in the final. The Arklow team proved too strong and won comfortably in the end. Coláiste Bhríde 1 won easily in their next game against Arklow 2. This put Coláiste Bhríde into the semi final against Baltinglass 1 this proved to be the game of the day.
