Shine A Light, What A Night!

Last night a group of over 40 students and staff spent the night in the school gym. The purpose of this exercise was to raise awareness and badly needed funds to help combat the homelessness crisis. This was a national event organised with Focus Ireland. Fun was had and friendships were forged. There was singing, dancing, games and reading. A few even managed to get some sleep! We experienced a very somber moment around 3:30am as the heavy rain pelted against the gym roof and we paused to think of those who don’t have a roof over their heads… Thanks so much to the fabulous young (and not so young) people who helped to make our night such a lovely, worthwhile experience, and to all who sponsored them. Check out the gallery on the school app for more pics. I’m off to get some sleep…night!

This week the group set out in the direction of the Sliabh Bhui slopes in bright sunshine which searched every pocket of vegetation and golden briars. The turbines waved in the distance, drawing attention to the majestic Blackstairs backdrop. The group’s pace is visibly increasing each week, allowing time for photos en route which are being carefully added to the digital portfolios. Onwards and upwards……

In September, our school took part in a whole school signing of Concern Worldwides petition titled "Nothing Kills Like Hunger". Conflict is the World's largest driver of hunger. The petition calls on UN Security Council members to guarantee emergency food for people living in conflict, and stop hunger being used as a weapon of war. Our signatures are being presented to the UN Security Council in New York this month. To wrap up our activities, four of our TY students attended a World Food Day workshop in Dublin this Thursday ran by Concern Worldwide. Our students examined the root causes of hunger and possible solutions. Our students also worked with the Bloom Art Project on the day to create the inspiration for a mural for Concern Worldwides head office in Dublin. If you are over 18 and would also like to sign Concerns petition follow the link - act.concern.net/nothing-kills-like-hunger?_gl=1*go5h9v*_ga*Mzk2ODgyODU5LjE2NjUwNTI5Njc.*_ga_RLZ9XCKFP1*MTY2NTY5MDgzOC40LjAuMTY2NTY5MDgzOC4wLjAuMA..

On Wednesday afternoon we hosted the third week of the First year football feast. 

Once again we had some very exciting young prospects show off their skills. 

Great enjoyment was had by all involved. 

 

A special mention must go to the Transition year future leaders class who coordinate, referee and organise this event each week. 

 

If your child is interested in participating in this Blitz next week and haven’t done so in previous weeks please ask them to express their interest to Mr Fitzgerald. 

 

This blitz is hugely enjoyable for all involved regardless or ability.

Congratulations to the Jnr Rugby Team who took part in the qualifying blitz at Wexford rugby club today. With the top two teams qualifying for the Cup and the 3rd and 4th teams the shield, there was a lot to play for. Daniel Gregan captained a side with a mixture of experience and players new to the game. We beat Bridgetown well in the opening game but we just fell short in the second match against our old rivals Creagh college. The final match was always going to be difficult against the favourites of the day Newross CBS coached by Pat Rossiter but after a rousing and emotional speech by the captain, the lads dug deep and managed a nervous but well deserved win. This put us equal on match wins with both Creagh and Newross but ahead of Newross on trys scored. We now look forward to the cup campaign.

Our senior football ladies had another successful day at the Wicklow Schools blitz in Ballinakill. The girls played three games against Dominican, College, Wicklow, St Mary’s, College Arklow and Gael Colaiste Na Mara, Arklow. They started off with a win  against DCW finishing with a score of 6-11 to 0-01. There was great play from Sal Doyle scoring 1-05 in total. The defence were ruthless throughout this encounter making it almost impossible for the Wicklow town ladies to score.   Next was St Mary’s which was a very tight affair.  The girls had to dig deep but pulled through on a score line of 1-02 to 0-04.   Julie Rawson’s penalty save in the opening minutes and Hannah Doyle’s run from the full back line and subsequent goal proved to be crucial. The final game of the day was against Gael Colaiste Na Mara which the girls won comfortably with eight points to spare.  There was great play from the entire team in particular Shauna O’Shea and Yasmin Dagge in the forward line. As the girls won all matches today, they are now through to the Cup blitz which will take place in the coming weeks. Well done to all involved. Special thanks to our TY Future Leaders especially Isabelle Doyle and Ciara O Byrne for writing this report.

Our French guests arrived on Friday, 7th October.

 

After a busy weekend with our Irish host familles, the French students had the opportunity to experience what life is like for a Coláiste Bhríde student yesterday as they participated in classes throughout the day.  The Woodwork class was a big hit! The shorter day (9-4 rather than 8-5:30) is always a welcome cultural difference for our French counterparts! Our students were also shown how to play "pétanque" (French bowls)!

 

On Monday evening they were immersed in more Irish culture with an evening of music and dance. Songs and Irish dancing were performed by our very own in-house stars. A big thanks to Jessica Murphy, Molly Hynes, Ros O’Tuama, James Lambert, Padraic Lambert, Jodi O’Doherty, Abby Breen and Kayla Kenny. The French students gave the Irish dancing a go too. 

 

Today they will walk the Spink loop in Glendalough.

 

A big team effort and thank you to everyone!
