The third year students had a fantastic day at Emerald Park on Thursday.

From the thrill of the rollercoasters and the adventure areas to the admiration of the animals in the zoo, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Students cheered each other on during rides, and soaked up the sunny weather (and the water from the Viking Voyage ride!).

A well-deserved reward for our third year students for their hard work and cooperation throughout the year, giving everyone a chance to relax and have fun together.

Thanks to Ms. Brookes for organising this wonderful trip and to the teachers and SNAs who accompanied the students. 

Huge congratulations to our amazing students who represented the school at SciFest@College in DCU today. Transition year students, along with Calvin Matthews (2nd year) and Odhran D’Arcy (1st year), accompanied by Ms. Aimee Walsh and Ms. Anna Jacob, entered 15 projects across all science sections. The judges interviewed each group and were intrigued to hear about all their research conducted. A special shoutout to Odhran D’Arcy, who won the Technology Merit Award for his development of a reaction time testing application to accompany his project titled “Speed Trials: The Farmer vs. The Gamer”, and to Ruby Gregan, who, fresh off the French Erasmus trip, took home the Runner-Up Best Project Award! Ruby and her twin sister Milly, who is currently participating in the Global Young Leaders program, have been invited to compete at national level in September, with their project on titled “Investigating the Effect of Fast Fashion Dye on the Growth of Plants” under the supervision of their teacher Ms.Lauren Byrne. Well done to all the students for their hard work and achievements in representing our school to a high standard! 

We hope the insights from the PhD students about their research projects will inspire them to pursue STEM further.

Please come and support our two local walks in Carnew and Tinahely. 

We will be meeting at 4.15am on Saturday and walk until we greet the sunrise together.

We were delighted to learn this week that we have been awarded our 7th Amber Flag from Pieta House. This flag is awarded to schools and organisations for their promotion of positive mental health. 

This award was very much a whole school project and was the result of much collaboration between our Student Council, KWETB Ethos team, and Erasmus + to name but a few.

Well done to everyone and we look forward to presenting the flag to Ms Gahan on awards day.

We were delighted to present a cheque for €1226 to Grace from Focus Ireland which was raised from our sleepover in the gym earlier in the school year. 

Grace then took some time to speak to 2 Pine CSPE about the scale of the homelessness problem in Ireland and gave us an overview of the important work of Focus Ireland to support families and individuals affected by this crisis. 

Many thanks to Grace for her time and we look forward to taking part again next year. 

Our first-year girls football team faced a tough defeat today in the Wicklow A final against St Kevin’s Dunlavin. The first half didn’t go our way, and the girls knew they hadn’t played to their full potential. But in the second half, they came out fighting, giving it absolutely everything right to the final whistle. They’ve worked incredibly hard all year and should be so proud of their progress, teamwork, and determination. Well done, girls!

Thanks to their coach Ms O Neill and congratulations to St Kevin's Dunlavin. 

The 1st Year boys footballers were in Echelon Park Aughrim today for the A final against St Kevin's Dunlavin. This looked like a tight game on paper and so it proved. Colaiste Bhride started better with a goal and added to this with points while Dunlavin scored a few points of their own. It remained this way for the half and the scores were level 2-5 to 1-8 at half time. The Colaiste Bhride side started the 2nd half well scoring 4 unanswered points and then added a goal to give them a good lead. Dunlavin came back with a goal and a penalty soon after which turned the game on its head. Colaiste Bhride worked themselves into a good lead again before Dunlavin struck their 4th major. The Carnew lads dug in and kept themselves ahead finishing strongly and taking the win on a 5-10  to 4-10 scoreline. Well done to the lads who have worked hard all year and played great football.
