Principal — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 07:00:46 +0000

The calss of 2010 will graduate from Crescent College Comprehensive SJ at their graduation ceremony on May 28th. The students are busy with preparations for this special event and are working closely with their Year Head Aidan O’Sullivan, School Chaplain Grainne Delaney and Fr. Maher. The ceremony will begin at 7.15pm with Mass followed by prize giving and a small reception hosted by the Parents Social and Cultural Committee.

High Speed Broadband

Principal — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 06:36:29 +0000

The new high speed broadband network was switched on for the first time this week. We hope it will enhance all our internal communications and administration systems and will provide us with opportunities to continue the development of teaching and learning in the school.

The final staff training session of the school year took place on Thursday April 29th. These planning sessions run by John Gavin have been very beneficial and have started to prepare us to take best advantage of the new high speed broadband which has been brought to the school as part of the NCTE 100mbps project

May Newsletter

Principal — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:36:01 +0000

The final newsletter of the school year will be eMailed to parents in two weeks time. If you are not receiving text messages or eMails from the school please contact Michele in the office who will update your details. items fro the newsletter will be accepted until Friday May 14th.

Jack & Jill Mobile Phone Collection

John.Gavin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:08:04 +0000

We are currently running a mobile phone collection effort in conjunction with Jack & Jill. Every phone collected is worth a significant amount of money to the charity. The precious metals contained in the phones are usually recycled, allowing the charity to extract a monetary value from what is essentially a waste product for most of us. It doesn’t matter what condition the phone is in, provided that it is reasonably intact.

A nice incentive for the school is that for every 300 phones we collect, Jack & Jill will donate a brand new Promethean Interactive Whiteboard to the school as a reward!

If you have old mobile phones, or you know a family member, friend or neighbour who would like to donate their old phones to this incredibly worthy cause, please ask your son or daughter to collect them and bring them to the school within the next few weeks.

There are great prizes on offer for the form class and the individual student(s) who collect the highest number of phones. One student alone collected 110 phones last time around, so the target is likely to be pretty significant once again!

Your support and creativity would be greatly appreciated.

Planning Meeting Wednesday 10th March

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:28:08 +0000

This is a reminder to all parents that school will end at 12.15pm next Wednesday, March 10th. The staff and management of the school will be engaged in an ICT Planning session from 12.20pm to 1.20pm.

A Message from Local Residents

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 15:08:26 +0000

Please remember others when you are accessing the school. The yellow lines and boxes are for everyone’s benefit and are there to ensure easy access for all. Recently the residents of Huntsfield and other local residents have contacted the school to ask us to remind parents not to block the entrances to the local estates when they come to collect their children.
