On Tuesday last, we welcomed Anthony Maude, Student Recruitment Officer with DCU to Coláiste Bhríde.  Anthony met  with 6th year students and held a lunchtime exhibition for all other students.  On Wednesday, SOLAS advisor, Paul Cruise met with both parents and students who are interested in pursing an apprenticeship after Leaving Cert.  

Both days proved very insightful for students as they prepare to make important life choices for their futures.  The CAO presentation that was given on November 21st, is up on the 6th year TEAMS page 'LC 2022-2024'.

Wishing you all the very best as you progress through this academic year and be assured of our support.

Regards,
E. Drummond
Guidance Counsellor

Well done all!

Congratulations to Cian Byrne, 5th year, who has spent the past weeks competing at MET in Oliva Nova, Spain.

This renowned equestrian event in Olivia Nova has become an unmissable international show jumping competition for the autumn season. What a privilege to compete at this level.

Cian has had an amazing experience which he said far exceeded expectations. He took two international wins, 4 international joint wins and numerous top 3 placings. The icing on the cake was to finish 3rd in the overall 5 year old ranking for the tour.

Standing to receive his first place wins, with the Irish National Anthem playing and the raising of the Irish flag has to be unforgettable!

A huge well done to Cian, who was the youngest competitor throughout.

On Sunday, 12th November our show jumpers travelled to Wexford Equestrian Centre. Our open team of Sophie Wilson, Johnnie Sheppard, Hannah O'Neill and Chloe Walsh qualified for the jump off whcih was full of action. With Chloe and Sophie giving it their very best shot in the jump off, the team was placed in 4th position behind St. Mary's College, New Ross, Loreto College, Wexford and St. Peter's College, Wexford.

The novice team of three jumped very well but were just outside qualifying for the jump off. Well done to Myrna Whiston, Claire Hill Doyle and Amy Byrne.

The individual open competition, which is always well contested, saw Johnnie Sheppard finish in 2nd place with his pony Shadow and in 6th with Prince of Persia. 

We bid farewell to our French visitors on Sunday in the early hours of the morning. They had an action packed week where they visited Dublin, walked the hills of Glendalough, participated in classes, in sport and our Irish music evening.

Thank you so much to our host families who made our French students feel so welcome and accommodated early starts and late returns!

We look forward to the return exchange visit to Chateau Gontier in March.

First Year Football
Well done to the CB first year footballers who had a comprehensive victory over their counterparts from St. Kevin’s Dunlavin today. In the first half the Dunlavin side made life difficult for the Carnew side and the boys had to dig deep to get scores that pushed them out of sight. Over the course of the hour CB showed great teamwork and they will certainly have a good go at winning a county title.
Congratulations on the great football and a lot of dubious singing on the bus ride home.
