Gaelic Football Coláise Muire make Cork final
Crosshaven 7-9
Coláiste Daibhead 2-4
From the very start of this match Crosshaven were the better team. The
Crosshaven forwards won ball after ball and kept punishing the
defence. Coláiste Daibhead could hardly cross the halfway line as
Crosshaven continued to be in control. By halftime the game was over
with Crosshaven scoring goal after goal. At the start of the second
half Coláiste Daibhead began well and added a few points. But that
stopped as the half went on and Crosshaven continued to score. The
backline played well for Crosshaven and continued to pass it to the
forwards. Anthony Wrenne and Jordan Fahy were two of Crosshaven’s
players on the day.
Crosshaven now move into the final where they will
play Blarney.

Young Social innovator – Bird boxes installed in Crúachán woods
YSI students left the school eagerly this morning to place bird boxes in the Crúachán woods. Following months of sawing and shaping, everything was now starting to take shape. The boxes were screwed to trees around the wood so that the birds would have easy access to them.
It is now two weeks away the final for our project and we will attend this event in the City Hall in Cork. We also got some great help from Croshaven Boys’ National school were the 1st class did some brilliant art work for our display.
Stay tuned for more information on this interesting project.

Transition Year Students visit Flextronics
On 29th Feb, fifteen students visited Flextronics for Engineering Week. They were shown how products are assembled and the processes that each part of the finished product has to go through to be able to be sold. Students were assigned to staff members in certain sections of the “floor”, which was where all different parts were assembled. The students really enjoyed the experience of working in an engineering plant.

24th January 2012
Transition Year students braced the elements today, hiking from Killarney to Kenmare. Starting at Torc Waterfall, the group undertook the sharp incline towards Torc mountain before taking the old Kenmare road.
Conditions were foggy and wet underfoot with misty rain a constant feature. Nonetheless spirits were high and four hours later the group were never so happy to see their bus home.

January 2012
Eleven students from TY and four from Second Year entered the BT Young Scientist 2012 last weekend. Their projects vary from developing artificial soil for arid countries and the perfect rugby place kick to the psychology behind “Where’s Wally” and do “red heads” feel more pain!
A big congratulations goes to Cait Cronin who received best in the Technology category.
