Coláiste Bhríde Students prepare for a trip of a lifetime to rural Malawi

Two teenagers from Carnew are preparing themselves for the trip of a lifetime, as they make plans to set off on a schools visit to far off Malawi next week. Anne-Marie Doyle and Krystian Jacóbczak, both aged 18, will head to southern Africa at the end of October, on a week-long visit to poor rural communities in Malawi. They will travel as a part of an annual school trip organised by Irish development organisation Gorta-Self Help Africa. The Coláiste Bhríde Carnew school students were in Dublin last week for a meeting of fellow travellers, who received information and discussed the itinerary for their upcoming trip. When asked how they were feeling ahead of their upcoming trip, they both replied cheerfully “very excited!”. Gorta-Self Help Africa’s yearly trip is open to students from schools who take part in the charity’s Development Education programme. Trip participants from each school are selected on the basis of a one-page essay and an interview. Students then lead a fundraising campaign in their school to support the trip’s cost. This year, nine students and their teachers from Offaly, Kildare, Cork and Wicklow will fly from Dublin to Lilongwe, Malawi’s capital city. The group will visit two schools and two rural communities participating in an agricultural development project implemented by Gorta-Self Help Africa During their trip they will visit a Unesco World Heritage site at Lake Malawi National Park, and will be hosted by the Irish Ambassador at a reception at her residency. For the students, the trip is the opportunity of a lifetime to have a first-hand experience of the living conditions and lives of young people in a country known as ‘the warm heart of Africa.’ “It’s always better to experience from yourself than reading from a book or a newspaper,” explains Krystian. “And then you know what actually needs to be done,” adds Anne-Marie. From a learning perspective, Krystian says “I want to back-up the facts I already know about Africa.” For teacher Aidan Douglas, who will also travel, this trip is the occasion for his students to “get appreciation of the work that is done by charities and to actually see what the funds they raised go towards. It’s also a way to give them an appreciation that some things happening here are pretty insignificant compared to other things that can happen abroad.” Aidan Douglas, who has taken part in previous study visits, knows a trip to rural Africa can turn out to be a life-changing experience for students like Anne-Marie and Krystian: “The students are usually profoundly affected by their trip abroad. They become more active citizens. In the previous years, one of my students decided to sponsor a charity when he returned to Ireland.” What a special opportunity—we wish them well and assure them of our support. L D

A disappointing start to the league campaign for the senior team today in Coolboy. The team knew they would be up against it this year with the loss of some key senior players last season. The team started well but conceded early from 2 scrappy goals and lost much con dence from this. We ba led hard but couldn't make a very strong Wexford CBS team concede any goals, even though the bar was ra led and the keeper made a serious of world class saves. Final score was 0-5. The squad s ll has two more games in the group so we look forward to those as op- portuni es to regain con dence from today's disappointment. Thanks to Mr. Kenny & Mr. Keegan
U15 Soccer Vs Wexford CBS

Colaiste Bhríde 1 - 2 Wexford CBS The U-15 soccer team suffered a very narrow defeat today against Wexford CBS. Despite playing against a very good team, Colaiste Bhride acquitted themselves well and were the better team for long stretches. Chances were few and far between in the first half, but commanding defensive performances from Colaiste Bhride and in particular from Ryan Gilfoyle and Cillian McDonald, meant the teams went in level at the break. Unfortunately, Carnew fell behind at the beginning of the second half but continued to play well. Eoin Kavanagh had worked hard all day, and was rewarded for his effort with an outstanding long range goal to level the scores. From there the Carnew team looked to push on for the win, but were unable to move into the lead and were caught by a header from a corner with only a few minutes left on the clock. Despite coming out on the wrong side of the scoreline, The Colaiste Bhride team can be very pleased with its performance. Particular mention should also be given to Eoin Kavanagh, Cillian McDonald and James McGing who all gave fantastic performances on the day. Special thanks to Mr Conniffe.

On Tuesday 11th Ocotber the adventure took all our exchange students to the beautiful setting of Glendalough. Our troopers went up the scenic way of the Spinc and completed the 14kms hike in good spirit. Even if counting the steps on the way up ( approximately 750...) became too ambitious, they all made it back down on the other side safely and proud of their achievement! The French students even met friends from a different school on the way down, who happened to be there for the day too! A small world, indeed!

There was an immense sense of enthusiasm and ambition in Coláiste Bhríde on Friday night, 7th October for the annual Careers Fair. 5th and 6th year students met with personnel from twenty three colleges including UCD, Trinity College, DCU, University of Limerick, Maynooth NUI, Athlone IT, Waterford IT, Carlow IT- Wexford and Carlow Campuses, Carlow College, An Garda Síochana and a host of PLC colleges. Former students of the school studying in various faculties and colleges mentored CB students on psychology, medicine, occupational therapy, nursing, education, business, hair and beauty, engineering, architectural technology, IT, agriculture, social science, law, communications, art and design and apprenticeships. Let's hope it will help students to arrive at conclusive decisions about their third level studies and careers. It is quite overwhelming to see so many of our past students excelling in their studies and all looking so well, so happy and making enquiries about teachers. We are indebted to them for giving their time and expertise. Linda Dunne Principal Coláiste Bhríde Carnew

25 students enjoyed a great day out on Saturday at the Leinster v Munster pro 12 rugby match. This trip was made possible following a lot of hard work by last years TY Bank of Ireland School Bank team. Their success last year resulted in a sponsored trip to Saturday's game. The vast majority of our group were happy with the result although we had one representative in red in our students and a despondent Kerry man among us! We enjoyed a stop off in Burger King on the way home which put a small smile on the Kerry man's face! A huge thanks to Leah Sankaran, Helen Hughes and Grainne Hughes who coordinated Saturday's trip!
