The Addams Family Musical | 4th-6th December

Details

Published: Tuesday, 17 September 2019 15:38

In December, CCS will be back in the musical business with a three-night run of The Addams Family, Wednesday 4th till Friday 6th. Casting is almost complete and rehearsals aren't far away. The Music Department are already slaving away on the project, with a large crew of pupils and staff assembled to help. It's promising to be a real gem of a show. It's early to be talking about tickets, but you can be certain that there won't be one left come showtime, so keep the dates in mind and keep an eye on www.carndonaghcs.ie or twitter.com/carndonaghcs for ticket info.

If you're not sure who The Addams Family are, this sums the whole thing up...In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus Lippa, Brickman, and Elice’s musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark, macabre, beloved daughter Wednesday, however, is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke, a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.

Despite weather that tested golf swings and advertising hoardings alike, the CCS Golf Classic teed off on Saturday, 14th September. The scoring was fairly impressive given the conditions, with 88 points leading at last count. Full scoring details will be available on Ballyliffin Golf Club's Facebook page later this week. CCS would like to thank all players, sponsors and parents who got behind the event. A formal thanks to our sponsors will appear in the local media next week. Thanks also to Ballyliffin GC. The prizes were excellent and the course was tough but fair, as it should be. A special word of thanks goes to our main sponsor - Conor Kelly Inishowen Oil - who always gets behind Carndonagh Community School. The support is hugely appreciated. Dates are already being considered for next year's Golf Classic. We've decided to pick a day when the sun will be shining and there won't be a breath of wind...

Paper Cups binned...Reusable Cups for Everyone!

Details

Published: Monday, 16 September 2019 09:02

The Reduce-Reuse-Recycle theme in CCS is about to step up a level with the introduction of reusable cups for every person in the school. Very soon there will be no throw-away cups available on campus, which is good news as a recent study by a group of pupils estimated that 1200 paper cups are binned every week. The school has invested in 'travel mug' style cups with lids for every pupil (and staff member who needs one). No cup, no coffee! That should ensure 100% usage. Pupils will be encouraged to wash/dry cups at home for use the following day. It's ambitious and won't be without teething problems, but if the discussion is convenience versus the environment, there can only be one winner. CCS is a Green School and will continue to take steps in the right direction. Now, would you like a nice cup of tea? Ah, go on...
