Well done 1 Laurel who won the base class sticker challenge and who were treated to a pizza party for their efforts. Stickers are awarded to individual students for positive contribution to class/school and for academic achievement. 1 Laurel accumulated the largest number of stickers this term.
Many thanks to their teachers for their involvement with this worthwhile initiative.
Well done to our under-16 footballers on their third win in the south Leinster championship today against a very good Creagh College, Gorey side. Carnew started the game with the advantage of a strong wind and made full use of it with a half time score line of 2-4 to 2 points. The second half was a very different affair with Carnew spending large portions of it defending. Special mention to the backs and goal keeper for keeping the opposition from scoring a goal while the forwards scored two points against a strong wind. The end score was Coláiste Bhríde 2-6 to 10 points.
Today’s win guarantees top spot in the group after two previous wins against Tullow and Coláiste Chill Mhantáin. These three results give the players a quarter final to look forward to after Christmas. This match was played in very tough conditions and the work rate and determination of the Carnew boys was to be commended. Well done to coach Mr Hegarty and special thanks to Mr Lambert and Mr Fennell for their help.
Coláiste Bhríde vs Heywood CS
Colaiste Bhride 3-11
Heywood 1-12
Coláiste Bhríde Senior Boys Football Team progress to the South Leinster final after an outstanding win over Heywood Community School.
It was excellent game of football played on Heywood’s astroturf pitch as the venue. CBC and Heywood exchanged scores in the opening minutes, with nothing separating the teams. Two goals before half time secured a five point lead for CBC going in at the break.
Heywood started the second half with menace, clawing the game back to a draw. Both teams took turns in taking the lead, with Heywood leading by a point with ten minutes remaining.
The Coláiste Bhríde team showed immense resilience to score 1-3 in the final moments to secure the victory, along with saving a penalty.
This panel of 45 players have dedicated a lot of time outside of school hours to train in various venues. Well done to all panel members involved on the day. Huge thanks must go to the TY future leaders who have contributed hugely to the team.
They now await to play a South Leinster final in January.
Well done to the panel and their coaches Mr Lambert and Mr Fennell
Fifth year students enjoyed a day in Dundrum yeaterday with their pastoral care team. After a busy first term of their Leaving Cert studies, AOLs and Christmas exams, it was a welcome day out together. Many thanks to the team for organising the trip. Their next outing is a theatre trip to the Gaiety to see a production of Sive by John B. Keane on 1st February. Students study this play as part of their Leaving Cert English course.
Buddy broke into Ms Dunnes office in the early hours of Tuesday morning to carry out some very important work. He made a list, to check who was naughty and nice. He did check it twice and can confirm any errors were rectified promptly.He also found the time to visit the tuck shop..... stay tuned to see where he goes next!
On Thursday 14th December, 142 second year students and their pastoral care team spent an action-packed day in Dublin.
The activities started at JumpZone in Sandyford where Coláiste Bhríde students had free run of the entire complex.
There was much competition between teachers and students, especially at the promise of reduced homework if the students were successful!
After the JumpZone visit, the group split, with half initially going to Go Quest and half going to Dundrum. The groups then swapped over so that everyone had the opportunity to complete all activities. Go Quest certainly put some heads in a spin, but everyone rose to the challenge and we congratulate the winning team from each group.
Well done to our second year students for their exemplary behaviour right throughout the day.
Many thanks to David Bgene from the Garda Road Safety division who along with a colleague facilitated a Road Safety presentation to our 5th year students in Decemebr. Students found this workshop to be valuable and informative. Sixth year students will participate in the workshops in the new year.
