Individual Results

1st Year Basketball Camp

Over 30 1st year girls from Cashel Community School and Scoil Ruain Killenaule took part in a one day basketball camp during the mid-term break. It was a huge success and great fun. The following students won performance prizes on the day; Katie Rafferty, Maria Magner, Niamh Ryan, Roisin Maher. A big thank you to all that helped make the day a success.

The Dick Wood Cup

During his long and distinguished life, Dick Wood served many organisations and clubs, such as Muintir na Tire, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Fine Gael, Mayor of Cashel Town Council and chairman of Cashel Town F.C. His day job was as a postman, so he was known far and wide, and for many good reasons.

Dick had a great love of soccer. His favourite team was Port Vale F.C., from the midlands of England. Of course he liked nothing better than to go to Palmershill Park, Cashel, on a Sunday afternoon to see the “Town” play.

John B. Keane at CCS

The New Inn drama group, the Father Mathew Players, will stage John B. Keane’s attractive play “Many Young Men of Twenty” in the Community School hall on the coming Tuesday night, 28th February.

Wise Man’s Words

On Monday, 5th December, the Community School Parents’ Association hosted a very informative and hugely entertaining talk on “Parenting – the Challenges and the Rewards.” The guest speaker was Mr. John Lonergan, former governor of Mountjoy and erstwhile Tipperary Person of the Year. Mr. Lonergan treated the large audience to a number of very insightful accounts of incidents and events from his own experience of parenting – his stories resonated with the assembled parents since they could recognise similar happenings in their own exercise of parenting.

Honour for Choir

On Thursday, 1st December, the Community School senior choir had the great honour of inaugurating Christmas 2011 in Ireland when, by official invitation, they sang a selection of carols in the grounds of Dáil Eireann. An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, and many T.D.s and Senators attended the festive event. Afterwards, the choir members were given a guided tour of Leinster House by South Tipperary T.D., Tom Hayes, who also hosted the official luncheon laid on for them by the Oireachtas authorities.

Work Experience Weeks

Since Halloween mid-term break, the 6LCA and T.Y. classes have had the benefit of out-of-school placements in a wide range of everyday adult work situations. For each and all of the students it has been an eye-opener that has broadened their understanding of what is required of employees and of the self-employed. The school authorities at CCS are extremely grateful to the scores of business people, employers and self-employed persons who welcomed and tutored the students who were in their charge during the past few weeks.

“Rock Solid Bank”

On Wednesday 23rd November, the Transition Year students were proud to open their school bank, under the reassuring title: “Rock Solid Bank”. They have entered upon this venture in conjunction with the AIB “build a bank” programme. Lar Corbett was guest of honour at this special event and cut the (blue and gold) ribbon to officially open the bank for business.

Five Hundred Housed

On last Sunday evening, the Community School team of house-builders arrived home from South Africa, very tired but very pleased.

In total, five hundred shack dwellers are now, for the first time, making their homes in safe solid houses that have clean running water. Their lives are transformed.

Welcome to the new school year at Cashel Community School

As the summer draws to a close, staff and students of CCS are preparing to return to school for the 2011- 2012 year.

The following are the dates for return for the remaining year groups:

Hurling Medals

Just before they launched into the Munster senior hurling championship, four members of the Tipperary panel visited Cashel Community School to present medals to the school’s senior hurlers who won the Munster Corn Phadraig and to the U16½ panel that won the Munster Corn an Risigh. The visitors were John O’Keeffe (past student), Noel McGrath, Paddy Stapleton and John O’Neill.

P.J. Davern Cup

This year’s First Year soccer finalists for the P.J. Davern Cup were 1.Nore and 1.Erne. The two sides had earned their place in the show-piece event by topping the league-style competition that had been played between all six class groups. The first half of this final was a tense and tight affair – possibly due to the big attendance and to blustery weather conditions.

School Talent Show

Talent Show

Eleven acts participated in the end-of-year school talent show – eight from junior students and three senior acts. It was fantastic that so many junior students took part and equally pleasing that girl/boy ration was fifty/fifty. The acts were very diverse, ranging from solo singers to duets, violin, rock bands, dancers, baton, and rappers. The adjudicators were impressed by the very high standard – particularly at junior cycle – with just one mark separating the winners from all others.

Irish Guidedogs for the Blind Fundraiser

A big well done to students in CCS who took part this year in the annual SHADES campaign for the Irish Guidedogs for the Blind. Through the sale of Shades pins in school, the students raised 370 Euro for this very worthwhile and noble charity which will go towards the training of guide dogs and assistance dogs at their centre in Cork.

Well done!!

Summer Holidays

Cleary Cup Rugby

On Tuesday 1st February our rugby team faced the High School of Clonmel in the Cleary Cup. The High School proved to be tough opposition on the day for us but the scoreline of 15-3 does not reflect the massive effort made by the Cashel team, most of which are first year students. Their strenght in holding off numerous tries from the High School is testament to the quality of players in our side. The future is bright for this young team.

Cashel hosted St. Flannan’s, Ennis, for the Munster Senior Cup tie on Tuesday of last week. The home side made a strong start, with some lovely passes given. Donal Reade was working hard on the wings. On the twenty-seventh minute Caolan O’Gorman delivered a beautiful ball along the line, Craig Condon collected and finished it clinically to the net. Goalie Ciaran Collins had to come off injured and was replaced by Brendan Lonergan. Shortly before half-time, sloppy play in the Cashel box allowed St. Flannan’s through for the equaliser.
