CCS Students Crowned All Ireland Social Innovators

Last Tuesday was a historic day for CCS as they claimed the title of National Young Social Innovators of the Year . Four hundred schools participated nationally in this year's programme with over six thousand young people showcasing ideas. The winning team's project was called "Step Up For Accessibility " . The team were angered by the misuse of accessible car spaces and wanted to create a solution to this issue . The students worked closely with the HSE Disability Officer Anne Bradshaw and together a plan was put in action . The students took the vision of a deterrent device to combat the ongoing issue and turned the idea into a reality by designing a prototype , which triggers an alarm if the driver cannot display a valid parking permit . They were assisted by the Engineering Department in CCS and were then able to showcase their prototype to a panel of judges in March at the annual Speak Out event in Kilkenny where students presented their project idea after many hours of practice in school . The students had also researched the types of excuses drivers use when they misuse spaces and animated these in their presentation to show their outrage . The students impressed the judges on that day , picking up an award for best onstage props , and in late August they learned they had won their overall category , they were delighted with the news as it was a big achievement being selected as one of the nine finalist schools in the country. The award was sponsored by the Department of Rural and Community Development. At the start of the school year the students learned that the final award ceremony would have to be a virtual event . The team submitted a video presentation so the next round of thirty judges could decide on the overall finalists .Colin Harding, one of the 18 member team displayed tremendous leadership skills here as he produced a very professional video showcasing the project's aims . Heather Barnett , Jasmine Mc Cabe , Connor Hasset , David Spearmand and Colin Harding represented their classmates in the video and displayed great tenacity under the guidance of their YSI guide . The team watched the live final with great excitement , Minister for Education Norma Foley was a guest of honour and praised the students for their commitment to social innovation . There was soon shrieks of joy as Zara King ( Virgin Media) announced the overall winning team and CCS realised they were the winners of the overall Gold Award and prize fund of 2,000 euros which they plan to use to develop their prototype further. Their ultimate dream would be to see the deterrent prototype being piloted in Tipperary. The team's teacher and YSI guide Caitriona Ryan has guided previous teams to victory including a Bronze Award and two Silver Awards . This was her tenth year guiding teams so winning the All Ireland title was extra special . President of Ireland and Patron of Young Social Innovators Michael D Higgins sent a message to all the finalists on the day saying " I believe passionately that young people can be catalysts for social change when given the opportunity and support to create change . Active, creative citizens will lead the transformation of Ireland ". The students have been busy with requests for interviews and photographs this week , their interview for Tipp FM will be aired next week and an article for the Irish Times and local press will follow in November . Social Innovation learning builds wellbeing amongst young people and communities and helps build a more inclusive , empathetic , fair society. It puts young people in the driving seat and challenges them to take ideas and put them into action , learning by doing . The students are indebted to management and staff in CCS who alway support the YSI initiative in the school every year .

Virtual Culture Day

Unfortunately we can’t celebrate Culture Day in school this year so we thought we might try it virtually there is always a plan b! With the long weekend coming up maybe some of our CCS staff and students might like to try cooking something different from another culture. We had some brilliant culture displays last year in school and sampled some delicious food. Maybe you would like to video yourself cooking, performing a dance, holding your flag; dressing up in traditional dress the possibilities are endless! If you would like to celebrate Culture Day over the long weekend email your photos / video clips to cr@cashelcommunityschool.ie and we will put together a little display next week. Describe the country your dish is from and explain how you celebrated. This is all invitation so no pressure on anybody just an idea, hopefully Culture Day will be back in CCS bigger and better next year. A great opportunity here for some cross curricular learning and creativity . Have fun . Ms. C. Ryan

Pieta House Sunrise Appeal

The CCS community has always supported the fantastic work done by Pieta House, every year staff and students are reminded of the supports Pieta Hose provides and lots of excitement happens in the run up to the annual DIL walk. Several past students of CCS have been stewards at the walk and huge numbers of staff and students have taken part in the annual walk. This year Pieta House has launched a new 'Sunrise' appeal in place of their annual Darkness Into Light event. The night time run usually takes places every May, but the new restrictions in place due to the coronavirus pandemic means that the event has been postponed. Instead the charity, along with Electric Ireland, have launched their Sunrise appeal - a call for people across the country to watch the sunrise together at 5.30am on May 9, when the run was scheduled to take place. New research has shown that 1 in 5 Irish people are experiencing clinically defined levels of depression. Even before Covid-19, interest in Pieta’s services was on the increase with calls to the helpline up 49 percent year on year, while text messages had increased by 46 percent.“ "Our bereavement counsellors are supporting people who have lost loved ones and who are struggling to come to terms with their loss in a world where friends and family cannot grieve together as a result of the lockdown." Elaine Austin CEO of Pieta House says that public funding has "never been more vital" in ensuring that Pieta's services continue to run smoothly. We would encourage all CCS staff and students to support the “Sunrise “appeal this year to continue the schools great tradition of community spirit, giving back, thinking of others and cherishing memories of loved ones. Please find attached a video recalling memories of the Cashel DIL 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr0isILqga4 and more information and support information. https://www.darknessintolight.ie/sunrise-appeal Mr.Brendan Ryan and Ms. Caitriona Ryan

Young Scientist

Three fifth students from Cashel Community were awarded first place in the senior Social and Behavioural Sciences category at the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. The group leader Diarmuid English, his brother Finbarr and fellow student Kiril Kariov were delighted to receive the award. The coveted prize was presented to them last Friday evening in the BT Arena by Minister for Education and Skills, Joe McHugh TD, and Managing Director of BT Ireland, Shay Walsh. Shay Walsh, Managing Director, BT Ireland said, “Congratulations to all of our participants, and particularly to all our winners. For more than five decades, the Exhibition has shown the ingenuity of Ireland’s youth, and this year’s Exhibition is no exception. The students at the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition have sought creative and innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues, and that spirit and drive is to be commended. “We say ‘Create Today, Shape Tomorrow’ at the exhibition and it really is only the beginning. From the young students involved in The Primary Science Fair to secondary students at the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, it is vitally important that every student’s voyage of discovery does not end here.” The three students presented their project at last week’s exhibition in the RDS, which showcased the best 500 projects from over 3000 entries. The project titled "Don't miss a day of school" is a rigorous statistical analysis of the relationship between school attendance and attainment of Leaving Cert points. The correlation between Leaving Certificate results and whole-day absences, half days, morning and evening absences, absence for activities and whether students presented notes for absences was examined. They started their work last year when they were in Transition Year. The boys worked with mathematicians from UCC during their analysis. The findings were recently presented to an assembly of the 6th year group in the school to highlight how absences were potentially affecting points. The information and insight gained is of particular interest to students, parents and management in any similar school. The young scientists who are 5th year students at Cashel Community School impressed the judges with both their display and interactions throughout the vigorous judging process. Head Judge of the Social and Behavioural Sciences Group category, Professor Joe Barry noted that “Despite awareness of the attendance issues within our school systems a contextual study of this nature can only build students and parents awareness of the importance of remaining engaged with the school learning environment.” At the presentation the students acknowledged all the support they received from their lead teacher and mentor Mr TJ Quinn and all the teachers within the school’s science department. They were also grateful for the support from their respective families. Mr Quinn commented “We are delighted to bring home such a high level award. It was the first ever successful entry from our school and we didn't know where we would be regarding the standard of work. The lads put together a great display to build on a lot of hard work and serious analysis including learning new computer coding languages to deal with the data. There was a lot of interest shown in our project by the public at the exhibition as leaving cert points and absenteeism are topical for most people. I am delighted with the way the lads interacted with the judges and the public and their passionate explanation to everybody who asked showed that this project became a labour of love for them”. Speaking on Friday night the Principal Mr John Gallagher expressed his profound admiration for the effort and commitment shown by all those who were involved in or supported the project- Diarmuid, Finbarr and Kiril, their teachers and their parents. He said “we as a school community are delighted that the students’ commitment and diligence has been recognised and rewarded at a national level and of course we are enormously proud of the students for bringing a national title of this magnitude and prestige back to our school. Well done to all involved”.

In his homily Fr. Brady reminded all present that everybody is unique each blessed with a special gift or talent. It was against this backdrop that he blessed symbols representing gifts & talents of the First Year students. At the end of the mass Mr. Gallagher (Principal), thanked everybody for attending and he also thanked those who made the prayerful liturgy possible. Mr. Gallagher reserved particular mention for the First Year students who took part in the liturgy and the choir under the guidance of Ms. Bradley & Ms. Colbert.

Health Week 2019

Cashel Community School held their annual ‘Health Week’ from September 30th – October 3rd. This whole school initiative endeavours to highlight to students the importance of making healthy food choices for the academic year ahead. A number of informative captions and posters were posted throughout the school. The sugar and fat content of foods from the top of the food pyramid was a real talking point. There was also a poster indicating the amount of sugar in the most popular fizzy drinks and breakfast cereals that teenagers buy. This initiative was strongly supported by the local community with healthy brown bread, scones, turkey burgers, low fat sausage, vegan options, brown rolls, overnight oats, fruit salads and apples distributed amongst the 860 student cohort. First Year Home Economics students participated in a ‘Fruit Sculpting’ competition. Transition Years played an integral part in the week helping to coordinate the distribution of healthy food and drinks to the various classes. 6th year Home Economics students attended a very informative talk by a Dietician focusing on ‘Food Fads’ which are prevalent on social media. This presentation was exceptionally well received by those present. Staff also enjoyed healthy snacks throughout the week. There was a very entertaining ‘Blind Tasting’ lunch-time event between two members of staff with our caretaker Seamus Murphy taking the honours with full marks!! Staying active was another component of the week. Most junior classes participated in the ‘drop everything and run’ initiative. This involved all junior students running/ walking around the school circumference for a 40 minutes period or exercising within the classroom when the weather was inclement. A lot of broad smiles were spotted as they passed classroom windows!! TY classes participated in a ‘Boot Camp’ facilitated by a WIT Sports graduate. There was also a staff obstacle course on Wednesday lunchtime which highlighted the highly competitive nature of the staff members of CCS. Students cheered on their teachers with great gusto. The week proved to be highly successful and informative which impacted on the positivity of the whole school community. It is hoped that students will be more nutritionally and activity aware in their daily lives as a result of the knowledge they gained in the past week. It is also hoped that these events have contributed in a positive way to the students’ physical and mental Wellbeing. This initiative would not have been possible without the input and cooperation of students, staff and the local community.

The Principal Mr Gallagher said “It was marvellous to see the delight and sheer happiness of those young people as they received their results. This year’s results were truly spectacular with results in all areas being above the national average”. He continued stating that “Cashel Community School is very proud of the Class of 2019. It takes a huge amount of hard work and dedication on the part of students, staff and parents to achieve this level of performance. Many of the students exceeded their own expectations and it is wonderful to see their efforts recognised on a number of levels. We congratulate all of our students for realising their individual potential and we wish them every success in their future endeavours.” He concluded by forwarding his congratulations and best wishes to the young people and a sincere thank you to all staff for their efforts over the years. Deputy Principal Miss Margaret Moore noted that “we in Cashel Community School believe that success comes in many forms and the student body agreed that the results were a fair reflection on their work over the past five to six years. With 5% of our students scoring in excess of 550 points, 16% over 500 points or higher and 30% securing over 450 points, we are very proud and happy. Whilst acknowledging the outstanding achievements of those pupils who scored very well in the Leaving Certificate, we also recognise and applaud the excellent achievements of the many students who fulfilled their potential”. Finally, Deputy Principal Mr John Murray offered his advice for the coming days stating that “going forward we would advise students to consider all their options as they reflect on their Leaving Certificate results “. He acknowledged that while most students are planning on accepting college places, others are considering further training or direct employment. Congratulations to the Class of 2019 on an outstanding performance in this year’s Leaving Certificate exams. The students excelled across the board, maintaining Cashel Community School’s long tradition of academic achievement.
