NORWEGIAN VISITORS

Coláiste Chraobh Abhann is very proud to welcome a group of Norwegian visitors to our school tomorrow (Thursday October 4th).  The group will spend about 2 hours in the school, during which time they will tour the school, taking in a couple of stop-off points to areas of interest in their respective subject areas.  These areas will include Metalwork, Construction Studies, Chemistry, French, Design and Communication Graphics and ICT.  

 

FIRST YEAR GAELIC FOOTBALL

Our first year Gaelic football team played at home against Coláiste Bríde Carnew on Thursday last, September 27th.  The boys played very well during the match and the scores were level at half-time.  Unfortunately the boys lost in the end on a tight scoreline of 4-16 to 4-14.  Top scorers on the day were Luke Martin, James Lennox and Dermot O Brien.

 

U-18 LEINSTER CUP SOCCER

Hard luck to our U18 Boys’ soccer team who lost 5-1 in their match against Marian College, Ballsbridge on Thursday last, September 27th.  The goal scorer on the day was Conor Byrne.  Man of the match was awarded to Ronan Harding-Downes.

 

U-16 LEINSTER CUP SOCCER

Our U16 Boys’ soccer team met St. Kevin’s CBS Finglas on Tuesday last, September 25th.  The boys put in a good performance in the second half, with Patrick Costello and Conor Byrne scoring.  Unfortunately St. Kevin’s proved to be the better team on the day, finishing on a scoreline of 5-2.

 

WELL DONE

Congratulations to Conor Spencer in 3rd year, who recently recorded an interview for a television programme.  The interview came as a result of Conor’s entry for last years’ Young Scientist Exhibition.  The project looked at the prospect of “A shoe that recharges batteries”.  The subject of this project has produced an enormous level of interest.  Well done Conor!

 

STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS

Student Council elections took place in our school on Monday October 1st.  Two third year groups, 3SON and 3DHN organised these elections as part of their Junior Certificate CSPE Action Project.  All students in the school took part in the election process and we look forward to meeting our new Student Council representatives in the near future.
