FIFTH YEAR SUBJECT CHOICE NOTICE

The 5th Year Book List was posted on the school Website to allow pupils identify the texts for the core subjects. The 5th Year Subject Choice outcomes have been posted directly to each pupil informing them of their subjects and you should receive these on Wednesday 13 May. A number of pupils had to be contacted to return the Choice Forms which delayed the processing. A further analysis was conducted to try and maximise the choice outcomes for the pupils. The success ratio for satisfying the pupils choices is: 156 out of the 165 students have been awarded their first 4 preferences. 9 didn't get their 4th choice subject. The 9 pupils were contacted by telephone on Friday/Saturday to discuss their 4th Option. So if a parent didn't get a call on Friday or Saturday then their child has got all 4 of the choices which they put down in March.

In Memoriam: Bishop Francis Lagan

Bishop Lagan 4

Fr. Francis Lagan was a member of the original staff of Carndonagh Community School in 1973 when he transferred from Carndonagh College ( based in the Colgan Hall and the Wesleyan Hall ) as one of the three amalgamating schools ( with the Convent of Mercy and the Vocational Education Committee Technical School ) that formed CCS. He came to Carndonagh to teach in the College from 1963 to 1973.

Fr. Lagan was a French teacher and French probably seemed quite exotic in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Current Principal, Paul Fiorentini recalls him as his first French teacher...“I remember him very fondly as he was always friendly and considerate and I must have been inspired by him as I did end up as a French teacher.” Carndonagh Community School from the outset was always seeking to be progressive and having identified the need for Career Guidance, Fr. Lagan undertook the Career Guidance course and delivered this vital service until he left for Diocesan work in 1977.

He always kept in touch with the school and maintained contact with colleagues he worked with. He brought all the qualities he had demonstrated in the school to his role as bishop. He remembered his days in Carndonagh warmly and was always welcomed back to Inishowen when he returned for Confirmation in the parishes. We are grateful for his service to the school and his pastoral work in the Diocese and offer our condolences to his family and many friends.
