School Uniform Update - August 2019

Details

Published: Friday, 24 May 2019 16:00

As a result of evaluating the school uniform and feedback we received throughout the year, we would like to inform you that, from August 2019, if a girl chooses to wear a skirt or pinafore, they must be knee length. If a student chooses to wear trousers, absolutely no jeggings or leggings should be worn to school.

From August, if a student comes to school not wearing the proper uniform they will be asked to go home and change. We would like your support in this.

As a school we pride ourselves on how positively our students represent CCS on all occasions. We would like to maintain this very positive image of the students in CCS.

The stage was set on Thursday, 16th May (thanks Shaun & Danny) for a fashion extravaganza, bringing together this year's Junk Kouture entries, and members of the Erasmus and French exchanges. Admission was restricted to lucky First Year pupils who not only got to enjoy a fashion parade, but also a brilliant half-time show courtesy of www.brunorummler.com. All the pupils who took part deserve a BIG high-five. It's not easy to take on the catwalk in front of your peers, and it's just as difficult to parade in front of people from another country. Well done to both the exchange and CCS pupils who put together a great show (with significant input from Ms. McDermott & Ms. McGee).

“Dancing to the Musicals“ is the theme this year for the TY Dance Show. From Mary Poppins to the Lion King it promises to be a night of surprises, fun and of course dance moves to rock the house. The show is on Sunday 19th and Monday 20th May at 8pm. Tickets on sale all week in CCS. See you all there. It has been an eventful, jammed packed year and I want to wish all the TYs and the TY teachers a fantastic summer. - Ms. Elaine Farren

Golf - Individual 3rd for Ryan Collins at Derryveagh Crystal Championship

CCS travelled to Cruit Island Golf Club for the final of the Derryveagh Crystal Donegal Schools' Golf Championship. Weather conditions were favourable and the scoring was good. Ryan Collins secured 3rd place in the individual standings with an impressive 36 points on an unfamiliar course. Martin O Connor and Cormac Monagle battled bravely but CCS lost out on the team title to Rosses CS by a handful of points. Ryan, Martin and Cormac have been stalwarts of the CCS golf team for the past number of years and we wish the boys the very best of luck in their upcoming Leaving Cert exams.

Transition Year / Primary Schools Literacy Programme

Details

Published: Sunday, 12 May 2019 13:04

All TYs have been involved in a Literacy Programme with St. Patrick's Boys and St. Patrick's Girls National School. The TY students have guided the primary students (and sometimes the other way round) through a literacy programme which included Cloze procedures, comprehensions and the most popular A-Z quiz. Both groups benefitted hugely from this programme and gained many valuable skills along the way. A huge thank you to the 5th class students in the girls school and their Teacher Ms. Clare Doherty, and to the 4th class boys and their teacher Ms. Margaret McLaughlin.
