Details: Written by Administrator; Last Updated: 03 October 2017; Created: 03 October 2017; Hits: 2742

The TY year accompanied by Mr. Kelly, Mr. Hanrahan and Ms Walsh took a 2 night trip to Achill Island, Co. Mayo last Monday to Wednesday (25th- 27th September). They stayed in 'bean an tí' houses and participated in activities facilitated by Coláiste Acla. They took part in surfing, cliff diving, bog assault courses and kayaking. In the evenings they headed to the céili's where they learned (attempted) to dance and played games as well as the all important 20 minutes phone time! The weather was lovely until Wednesday when the island was soaked but this didn't stop us from having an excellent time. On Wednesday when everyone sat down to a hot bowl of soup to warm up there was an atmosphere of disappointment as we had to head back home after a fantastic 3 days of fun and laughs. Everyone enjoyed the trip and can't wait for another of its kind in the upcoming year.

Chuaigh na daltaí ón idirbhlian go hAcaill le triúir múinteoirí ón scoil- An t-Uasal Ó Ceallaigh, An t-Uasal Ó hAnracháin agus Iníon Breathnach Dé Luan seo caite. Mhair an turas ar feadh trí lá. D'fhanamar sna tithe le mna tí ón ceantar. Ghlacamar páirt sna himeachtaí ar nós surfáil, cadhcáil, pleidhchíocht poirteacht agus tumadh. Chuamar go dtí coláiste gach tráthnóna chun damhsa céilithe a fhoghlaim. D'imríomar cluiche spraoi agus don fiche nóiméad deireanach fuaireamar ár bhfóin. Bhí an aimsir go maith go dtí Dé Céadaoin nuair a bhí an hOileáin ar maos leis an báisteach a thit tharr an oíche ach níor chuir sé sin isteach orainn. Nuair a shuíomar síos don babhla anlann tráthnónna Céadaoin bhí saghas díomá ar gach duine mar bhí sé in am dul abhaile. Bhain gach duine taiteanamh as an turas agus táimid ag súil leis an chéad turas eile!

TY Students Enjoy A Great Day Out, in West Clare

Details: Written by Administrator; Last Updated: 11 May 2017; Created: 10 May 2017; Hits: 4142

On May 4th, TYs left the school promptly at 9am as they were warned that the tide would not wait for us. We hit the water at 10am and students thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thanks to the instructors at Bens Surf Clinic, everyone had a safe lesson and had great fun. Students were exhausted after the lesson and needed a little mutual support to get out of their surfing gear. Our next activity – a cliff walk from Liscannor along the cliffs of Moher. The weather was in our favour as it was dry and clear. Students enjoyed the magnificent views and had lunch looking out over the Atlantic. The views were stunning. TYs and staff thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Before Christmas, an advertisement for the Clare Garden Festival on the May Bank Holiday Weekend was spotted in Colourful Creations Garden Centre. TY students were encouraged to submit a show garden with the recycling theme. Blathnaid Landers was the only student who chose to roll up her sleeves and take the plunge into garden design. Blathnaid's garden was beautiful and entertaining. Every nook had something to bring a smile. There was great humor and visitors were heard to chuckle as they read her notices. Everything from a recycled toilet to corks and bean tins were re-used in this garden.

The judges on awarding her the first prize of €400 commented on her enthusiasm and her witty approach to garden design. Well done Blathnaid.

Active Week in St. Joseph’s

agetactive We have a very active week here in St. Joseph’s with students and teachers fully embracing the target of clocking up 2500km in school activities. Our aim is to encourage the entire school community to get moving and include physical exercise in their daily life, every day. Last year was the first year that we tried to engage in the Active School Week

fully embracing the target of clocking up 2500km in school activities. Our aim is to encourage the entire school community to get moving and include physical exercise in their daily life, every day. Last year was the first year that we tried to engage in the Active School Week programme as an entire school community. We wanted to encourage students to take the opportunity to enjoy the opportunities offered by our new school grounds. In particular, we wanted to encourage students, particularly those not engaged in formal sports, to use our beautiful walking path, at the edge or our school grounds. We are delighted that students continue to use this walking path, daily, during breaks and before and after the school day.

Ms. Liddy has drawn up schedules, encouraged students to measure distances, given TY students the responsibility for promoting the Active Week and has recorded our success on our huge Active Week Target Banner in the GP area.
Those students participating in the Silver Gaisce challenge, started us off on our road to our target last weekend. 19 students climbed three peaks in Kerry, walking over 20km each day. The TY students aiming for the Bronze Gaisce challenge cycled up Maghera, on Thursday, practicing for their Bronze Gaisce challenge cycle to Doolin active

All students have been timetabled to walk one kilometre a day during class time, around the perimeter of our school site. Though the weather forecast wasn’t ideal, we have been blessed with dry weather every day. While students are never unhappy to miss ten minutes of a class, teachers like to see an educational benefit. Our approach to Active Week involves integrating cross-curricular learning, particularly in the area of numeracy. Pulses have been measured and the difference between pulses before and after the walk have been monitored. Percentage differences have been calculated. Trundle wheels were used to measure the exact distances and our target board is a visual form of communication, for all to see in the GP area.
