If you seek truth you will not seek victory by dishonorable means,
and if you find truth you will become invincible.
Congratulations to the TY Art/Music Module on their film ‘All Cuffed Up’ going forward to the final, from over 1500 films entered.
Wednesday 25th November saw a group of Royal School Cavan pupils travel to their sister school in Armagh to partake in this year’s Royal Schools Debate. All 5 Royal Schools converged to dispute a number of topics ranging from sport to freedom fighting. Royal School Cavan was represented by myself, Tiwani Akinlabi, and Maxwell O’Keefe, who proposed that ‘In sport, winning is everything’. We put forward a valiant effort, giving our Dungannon opponents a hard time. Unfortunately, we were beaten in a close battle at the quarter final stage.
A short break was given before the semi-finals, and the victors were the two Armagh teams, one of schools to have a debating club. The topic for the final was undisclosed, and was revealed 20 minutes before the final. An intense debate based on whether ‘you should take the road less travelled’ ensued, but in the end, the Armagh 1 team prevailed. A big thank you to Royal School Armagh for it’s hospitality.

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.

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.
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.
