Congratulations to Rachel Alexander, Sophie Reilly, Barry Stratford, Kelvin McNally and Lloyd Hastings on being one of six finalists in the Certified Irish Angus Beef School’s Competition.
One of our new Calves
The students traveled to Cahir in Tipperary yesterday to meet their five calves which they will receive at the ploughing championships in September. The students will then rear the calves for 18 months under their given theme “The value of Irish Angus in Production System’s” until slaughter. The final of the competition will be held in spring 2020.

Junior Cycle Results
In late November our current TY pupils were presented with their Junior Cycle exam results. Congratulations to each and every one of them on achieving this important milestone in their educational journey.
Sports Update
The school was a hive of sporting activity during November and December. The Minor girls’ hockey team won their 1 st game 2-0 against Mercy Convent, Navan. The senior and junior badminton players enjoyed their away match v Wilson’s Hospital School (pictured). The U14 boys’ rugby team had a hard-fought win over Headfort School in November while the U16 boys’ rugby team beat Monaghan Collegiate 17-10 in December. Our U17 & U19 boys’ soccer teams had positive results against Largy College, Colaiste Oireall and Monaghan Collegiate. Well done to all participants and thanks to all the coaches who give of their time for matches and training.
Individual achievements
Well done to Megan Griffith Keane, Elizabeth Emma-Adebayo and Tierna Smyth on their wonderful performances in the Cavan Town Hall pantomime production of ‘Cinderella’ just before Christmas. Congratulations to our TY student, Luke Allison, who was selected to represent Ulster in the FAI Interprovincial Tournament in Dublin during December. Luke is the first student we have had at RSC to represent Ulster at this level of football – a great achievement.
Christmas Fundraising As usual Christmastime in RSC was very busy and this year the students made a special effort to raise funds for the Barretstown camp. Over €2000 was raised. There were Christmas Jumper days, Christmas Door decoration competitions and world cup sweepstakes all in aid of this wonderful charity.
TY Activities During December TY pupils enjoyed trying their hand at Pitch & Putt, undertook a forensics workshop, engaged with the TY Architects in Schools programme and also entertained some of the residents in a local nursing home for a ‘Forget me not’ Christmas party.
Craft Fairs
TY and 1st year mini companies attended several craft fairs and sales over the Christmas period. They enjoyed meeting customers, making sales and getting feedback on their products. In particular they enjoyed organising the annual RSC Christmas craft fair which was held in the school before the holidays. Thanks to all who supported their endeavours.
Mock exams
We wish all of our 3rd year and 6th Year Pupils well as they undertake their pre-examinations next term.
Congratulations Leanne Bell and Anita Armstrong who are one of the top 50 groups to get through in the ‘One Good Idea’ project, for their project ‘Wind of Change’, promoting and educating the community about wind energy.
Form 2 Fuse Programme
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 2020-2022
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).
Mini Companies
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.
Pictures
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.

Team Hope Shoe-box Appeal
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.
TY Yoga
The TY class are really enjoyed their Yoga classes. Many thanks to facilitator Ruth O’Dowd for providing the instruction again this year.
Texaco Children’s Art Competition Prize Winner
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’
Meet our new Foreign Language Assistant
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.
Congratulations to all RSC young entrepreneurs who participated in the virtual Cavan Student Enterprise awards on Thursday. We were very successful with ‘The Natural Bubble’ winning 1st place and ‘Masks for Many’ taking 2nd place in the Junior category.
Well done also to ‘Always There Bear’ who won a special award for best social media marketing and to ‘Epoxy Designs’ for securing 1st place in the Senior Category!
The two overall winners will now start preparing to represent Co. Cavan in the National finals in May.
Minster Heather Humphries, visit to the school today.
Best of luck to all students receiving their Junior Certificate/Cycle results today.
