At todays TY assembly we celebrated student achievement throughout the month of September. Four students in TY have taken on the role of coaching rugby to junior students. They train the students, organise games, wash jerseys and organise all of the logistics. Congratulations to Rhys Byrne, Matthew O Gorman, Conor Clarke and Luke Costello for this great achievement. 

Well done all!

Our TY Prefects were presented with their badges today by Mr Leonard at their Conferring Ceremony. Each of the badges has a lighthouse symbol displayed on it.  These badges are a visible sign in the school community of who our Prefects are. They symbolise how Prefects are leaders and act as guides to other students. They are a symbol of safety and of someone who can be relied on and asked to help. Our TY Prefects will have a number of roles and responsibilties throughout the school in the year ahead. They will assist with a number of events, activities and projects. Overall they will help to make our school community a more positive and inclusive enviroment. They are a fantastic group of young people and we are very proud of them all!

Congratulations to TY Student Eleanor Steed who was selected as the Cross and Passion College Rotary Youth Leadership school winner. Well done to Adam Bermingham and Sam Gaynor who also did excellent interviews and meant the judges had a very difficult decision. Best of luck to Eleanor when she competes in the Club final on Monday 16th October.

Students created beautiful Swiss Roll cakes today under the direction of Ms M OMalley whose hens provided the delicious free range, organic eggs used in the recipes. A perfect accompaniment to an Afternoon Tea. Sincere thanks to Ms OMalley for generously sharing her eggs as well as expertise and guidance. Well done everyone!

Please find attached a Junior Cycle Information Note from the Department of Education for parents or guardians of Junior Cycle students.

The purpose of this note is to provide parents with some useful information regarding the changes made to the Junior Cycle Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting since the implementation of the Framework for Junior Cycle.

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
