As part of our CSPE class, all students from 1 Beech took part in the wonderful initiative organised by Carepack.ie. Each student received details of a resident from numerous nursing homes in Wicklow and over the past few weeks have spent their time making a care pack for them. Students included a personalised Christmas card, wordsearches, sudoku, fun fact sheets, origami and some chocolate treats. All 28 care packs were sent by post and will be arriving to the relevant Nursing Homes in the coming days. Well done to all students in 1Beech.

Congratulations to Ms Joanne Byrne who has had an Irish class lesson plan included in the new publication of the Magenta Principles by well known author Mike Hughes.
Ms Byrne, along with colleagues, Ms Dayna Lancaster and Ms Lauren Byrne are participating in a series of Mike's workshops this academic year. Many teachers from Coláiste Bhríde have engaged with this CPD over the past number of years and have acknowledged how engaging Mike's approach to teaching and learning is as his techniques encourage students to explore and create in the classroom. This is the second time our school has featured in a publication by Mike Hughes, following on from a lesson plan by Ms Monica McGettrick and Ms Suzanne Eivers in the original edition. Well done to Ms Byrne on a super achievement!
It was an early start for third year students today Monday Dec. 11th as we headed off to Dundrum shopping centre at 7.45am. First up was a trip to the Cinema where students enjoyed the film 'Wonka', along with many a combo deal from the food counter! Students then had the opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done before heading back to Carnew. It was a very enjoyable day! Many thanks to Ms Melia and our Admin team for organising the trip and thanks also to our seven class teachers who accompanied the students.
A number of our under 16 and under 19 basketball players travelled to DCU to watch a super league game between Pyrobel Killester and DCU Mercy.
It was a great evening of basketball with a number of Irish internationals on show.
Attention now turns to the under 19 Girls All-Ireland Playoff after Christmas on January 10th, along with the start of our 1st and 2nd year team trainings.
Over one-hundred and fifty first-years, eighteen Meitheal leaders, and eleven staff travelled to Dundrum this morning for a highly anticipated session of ice skating at the Dundrum On Ice arena. The students eagerly awaited their turn on the ice as they swapped footwear for skates. Their enthusiasm was slightly dampened seconds in as most failed to remain vertical. The carnage continued for an hour as the venue was filled with the sound of laughter. Well done to the members of teaching staff who also braved the ice. Memories to last a lifetime!
This was followed by a light lunch before hitting the shops at the Dundrum Shopping Centre. The Pennies Christmas range was most popular on the day as were the free wrapping paper and soft drinks. Thanks to all the teaching staff who travelled and to year-head, Mr. Holly and assistant year-head, Ms. Moran for organising the trip.
