Well done to the junior girl’s football team (pictured) who secured a 3-3 draw after a long trip to Stranorlar to play Finn Valley College. They now await other results to see if they progress from their group.
The senior boys’ team continue their good form in the Ulster schools competition (Division 1) with a 6-0 win over Bangor Grammar School. They then faced Friends School, Lisburn in the semi-final and won 5-1. They are awaiting the Ulster final, best of luck lads.
25 athletes from the school attended the Ulster district cross country event in Irvingstown, Co. Fermanagh. We had some great performances with the intermediate girls & senior boys (pictured) qualifying for the main Ulster Cross country schools event.
The under 17 team progressed all the way to the Ulster B final this year where they came out on the wrong side of a 4-3 thriller against PCC Falcarragh, Co. Donegal. Well done to the team and coach Mr. McHugh. The U15 team have qualified for the Cavan Monaghan B final.
Well done to all our table tennis players who represented the school in the Ulster schools competition in the Lisburn Racquet Club in February. A special mention for the U13 boys who managed to reach the semi-final on the day.
Our junior & senior girls rugby teams were very excited to attend the Irelands women’s 6 nations opening game against England in February in Donnybrook stadium. The result went against Ireland on the day, but our girls really enjoyed the experience. Thanks to Ms. Argue for organising this trip.
Our hockey teams welcomed Wilson’s Hospital school for 4 games in late February. There were wins for the senior, junior & minor 1 teams. Unfortunately, the Minor 2 team were beaten on the day. Our teams are progressing well with the season finals approaching fast.
The TY school bank, Connect 6 are continuing to prepare for their competition & fundraised for their partner charity, Pieta House. In February they were bag packing in Dunne’s Stores and organised a ‘Walk in my Shoes’ day in the school. They raised over €1200 from these two initiatives alone.
We now have two simultaneous groups running in the Irish Angus Schools competition. Of course, last year’s TY came in the top 5 in the country and are currently raising their Angus calves which they received as the prize. To check out more of how they are getting on have a look here, https://sites.google.com/royalschoolcavan.ie/angus/home. We have a new group beginning the journey in TY 2018/19. They are focused on Farm safety & have organised several events to raise awareness of this issue. This group contains Ben, James, Katie & Ewan. They have already progressed through the first round of this competition.
We were thrilled to have two of our talented solo artists, Christabel & Abbie invited to record at Cavan Institute in January. This recording will form part of a Schools Compilation album that will be made available to the public. The Senior Music pupils also enjoyed a trip to national symphony orchestra in Dublin in January.
The TY pupils took part in the Public Access to Law (PAL) programme in Late January in the school. This is a specially devised law programme which gives students a unique insight into law as seen through the eyes of a practising barrister or solicitor.
Cian Walker has recently been awarded 2nd place out of all the Higher level pupils in the country completing the Junior Certificate subject Technology. Cian’s project is a monorail point to point transport system which is guided by Neodymium magnetic propulsion.
Cian is pictured here with his monorail project and his Technology teacher Mr. Patterson.
Join us at 7.oo p.m. next Monday (December 12th) for our annual Carol Service in the Parish Church.
There will be a collection for Concern.
The programme, supported by Facebook, consists of six modules, including bullying, cyber bullying and online safety. It is a scenarios type programme and gives students the opportunity to explore how they might deal with bullying issues that may occur within a classroom, a school or online. The main aim of the programme is to increase reporting and reduce levels of bullying in schools.
Creative Schools is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme to enable the creative potential of every child. This initiative is led by the Arts Council in partnership with the department of Education and Skills and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. We are delighted to be selected to be part of this project for the next two school years and look forward to reporting back to you on our project(s).
This year, because of COVID 19 restrictions the RSC mini companies cannot avail of the many face to face sales opportunities which previous groups have always enjoyed. Like all businesses, they have had to find new, innovative ways to reach their customers. Look out on social media for information about their wonderful products.
As promised last month, please see the pictures of the new Head Boys and Head Girls. Also pictured are the winners of the TY pupil of the year last year.
We are not able to prepare shoe-boxes as we normally would this year. So instead we are holding a fundraiser and going to donate the money online. This year more than ever there will be a need for shoe-boxes. So, if you wish to help this fantastic Christian charity, please visit www.teamhope.ie/christmas-shoebox-appeal.
The TY class are really enjoyed their Yoga classes. Many thanks to facilitator Ruth O’Dowd for providing the instruction again this year.
Congratulations to 3rd year pupil Jasmain Wang who won a special merit award in the national children’s art competition for a beautiful pencil drawing of the Royal School. The judges said the piece was ‘very imaginative and demanded a high level of skill’
My name is Camille Mazzoni and I am twenty-one years old. I come from Buchelay, a small town near Paris. I was a student at the University of Cergy-Pontoise where I attended an English course called “LLCER” (Foreign and Regional Language, Literature and Civilisation).
Royal School Cavan have welcomed me as a Foreign Language Assistant. I work twelve hours per week at school sometimes on my own with small groups of students (pictured) or with a whole class and a teacher. As a native speaker my role is to share ideas, to spread the French culture, to encourage the students in their projects and to promote the importance of foreign languages.
Having a first experience of teaching in an Irish Post-Primary school would not have been possible without Royal School Cavan. Therefore, I hope that my presence, along with my background, will be a positive addition to the already rich student life and environment of the school.
