The Ember team held a introduction/icebreaker session with all 1st year classes at different intervals throughout the day on Tuesday.

During the hour, the team introduced their faith leadership role within the school, taught students the Ember prayer and played some icebreaker games. 

The team look forward to working with 1st years, and other year groups, throughout the year to celebrate and mark important feasts, festivals and liturgical services.

The 6th year Biology classes braved Storm Agnes last week and spent a wet and windy but wonderful day in Lullymore Heritage Park. Well done everyone.

The TY Community care class recently completed their first initiative of 23/24. The class divided into groups, each taking on a section of the school grounds. They were equipped with gloves, bags and litter pickers. The areas in which they cleaned are the front/avenue, Kare side of CPC, prefabs, basketball courts, school forrest and disposing of classroom recycling bins. 

When they concluded, it was noted that all bags were at least half full. This is a reminder and appeal to the whole school community to dispose of their litter in the appropriate bins provided. 

Well done to the class on the positive environmental impact and making our school community tidier. 

Today our TY Prefects attended the first Buddy Club lunchtime get together. The aim of the Buddy Club is to encourage integration between our students in mainstream classes and our students in our AS classes. Great fun was had as students played games together and got to know each other better. Looking forward to next Tuesdays get together. Well done all! Ms Mills 

Driving instructor Jenny Woods guided our 4A students through a range of Road Safety activities including the theory test, tyre safety, using ‘beer goggles’ to understand the effect of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, researching car insurance and most exciting of all, driving! A fantastic and very enjoyable experience was had by all. Thanks to Rebecca English for taking photographs during the driving sessions.

4C students participated in a First Aid training course. Niall, the facilitator, gave the theoretical background along with practical demonstrations including how to apply bandages, make a sling and remove PPE safely. Each student will receive a certificate which is valid for two years. 

1E  enjoyed an early morning, phone free, walk to At Tearmann for Well Being week with Ms. Carty. 

Our TY Prefects are continuing their very good work within our school community. Ms Mills chaired a valuable meeting where plans were made and teams organised to assist in a variety of areas such as School Community Initiatives with Ms Flanagan, the Cross and Passion College Buddy System with Ms Reade and Sports with Mr Blanchfield. We are delighted to see such commitment and enthusiasm.
