Our TY students really enjoyed the performance from solo artist Bailey today.

The message shared with our students encouraged them to make good choices and to be mindful of peer pressure.

There was a long queue for autographs and photographs after the performance.

Thank you to Bailey and his team for such an entertaining performance.

All year groups enjoyed a live performance from solo artist Bailey today which included a talk on Mental Health, Drug Education, Peer Pressure. 

Well done to TY Prefects Luke Costello and Rhys Byrne who had the idea to do something for Men's Mental Health Month in November and were involved in organising Bailey to visit all classes today.

Overall it seems to have been a very positive experience for all year groups. 

Our Buddy Club continues to work very well with the TY prefects visiting our AS classroom every Tuesday for fun and games. 

Well done to all involved. 

Our 5th and 6th year Leaving Cert Applied classes enjoyed a fun day out of school at Kylemore Karting. 

Students competed against each order for a place on the final podium. 

Well done to Enda Byrne who won the first place trophy. 

Great driving skills demonstarted by all students! 

We were delghted to welcome two volunteers from the homeless charity P.A.T.H. on Monday to speak with our 6th year Leaving Cert Applied class about the work they do. 

P.A.T.H. provides food and other essentials to those who are homeless in Dublin City. 

We were also able to present P.A.T.H. with the large collection of selection boxes donated by our students and staff. 

Thank you to all who generously donated to this collection. 

James Meehan, Lilly McQuarrie and Katie O'Donnell, members of the Ember team, along with one of their classmates introduced the season of Advent to all first year groups. 

In preparation for the 1st of December, each 1st year student was given a copy of the advent wreath to colour in, researching the colour of each candle and what they represent. 

They were also given an advent calendar to create their own countdown to Christmas through acts of kindness. The Ember team gave them a suggested list of acts of kindness. Each day will reveal a good deed to complete. 

Best of luck to all first years completing this! Students in other years can also try to complete acts of kindness throughout the month of December. 

Cross and Passion College celebrated founder's day on Tuesday 21st November. Since we were closed to facilitate the cluster day, it was celebrated on Monday 20th November. 

Amy Schmelter, from the Ember team, made a whole school intercom announcement sharing insights into our founder Elizabeth Prout as well as launching their competition for 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students. These year group were invited to create a piece of artwork depicting our founder/history of our school.

Katie O'Donnell, from the Ember team, announced the winners on Friday.

Congratulations to Lucy Curtis (3F), Kayden Casey (3E) and Ella Fishbourne (1B). Ella was absent on this day, but received her prize.  Well done to all entered the competition 

The Religion department set up a remembrance tree for the month of November. All year groups got the opportunity to place the name of a loved one on the tree. 

Many thanks to Ms Doran for making the tree from wood. This now will be taken down to be replace by our advent wreath ahead of advent season.
