A great day was had by TY students in Ash, Beech and Elm today at Baltinglass Outdoor Education Centre. Students got the opportunity to bond with new classmates through various activities including kayaking, archery, orienteering and zip lining. Thankfully, the weather held up and it was the perfect start to what is set to be a fun year ahead for these students. We thank TY yearhead, Mr. Darren Tobin and TY class teacher, Ms. Aimee Walsh for accompanying them.

The superb Coollattin Golf Course looked its very best on Friday, 23rd  June when, for the twenty-first year, the annual Golf Classic was organised by the Coláiste Bhríde Parents’ Council. This was the first time to run the classic since Covid time, as always the preparation for this classic and the array of prizes were top class.

Forty four teams teed off during the day. The continued support from students and parents, past and present, from the community and all who put out teams on the day is exceptional and very much appreciated.

Funds raised at the Golf Classic will go towards developing a 4G full sized GAA pitch. Fundraising to achieve this will be ongoing over the next few years.

Sincere appreciation must go to our major sponsor on the day which was ProAmpac. Thank you to our joints sponsors  Zurich, Candy’s Carnew, Whitty Security, Doyle’s Electrical, Sovereign Security, K & K Windows, Myers Coaches, Naylor Engineering, Uniforms Direct, Baltinglass, Ireland Route Exchange. Thank you to the many other sponsors and supporters, including those who donated to our raffle, all were named in the club house on the day.

Management and staff of Coláiste Bhríde are truly grateful to all concerned. The Parents’ Council is planning and looks forward to another great day next June, when hopefully the sun will shine for them!

Congratulations to all our winners listed on the attached image. 

The last of the teams are returning after completing the course at Coollattin Golf Club at our Parents' Association Golf Classic. The scores will be counted and cross checked shortly and in time for the presentation at the club house later this evening. Thanks to all the volunteers who made the day possible end of course, thanks to our many sponsors. It has been a wonderful day and all funds raised will go towards our new 4G sports pitch.

Congratulations to Aidan Bolger in sixth year, who attended the awards ceremony for the Texaco Children's Art competition at Johnstown Estate, Co. Meath earlier this week. Aidan, who received a special merit award, painted a breathtaking portrait of the veteran broadcaster and TV personality, Charlie Bird. So impressed was Charlie with the portrait, that he visited Aidan in school last month and was overwhelmed with the quality of the portrait. 

We wish Aidan the very best of luck with his forthcoming Leaving Certificate exams and we are certain that he will continue to develop his artistic talents into the future. 

Huge congratulations to 6th year student Saidbhe Byrne who was crowned all Ireland school's Javelin champion this weekend. 

Saidhbhe, in her last schools competition, took gold in Javelin with a pb throw of 39.19m, Saidhbhe, recent recipient of Colaiste Bhride's sportsperson of the year award, also finished 6th in shot with a throw of 9.62. What a way for her to finish off in schools athletics competitions. We are very proud of all she has achieved and we wish her every success in the future.

An early start for our students to maximise their last day. It began with a visit to Park Güell a beautiful retreat overlooking Barcelona, designed by one of its most famous sons, Gaudi.

Next stop, another treat for the adrenalin junkies amongst them - a zip wire & high ropes adventure centre. For those who heights are not their thing, there were incredible model replicas of the major landmarks in Spain including Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou, the Casa Calvet & several others.
