Well done to our U16 and U19 Boys Basketball teams and their coach, Ms. Marie O Mahony on beating Douglas Community School at home today.
The RE Department have been running the annual Shoebox Appeal- and we want to say a huge thank you to all the staff and students for their generous donations!
Our local representative Sally Daly came up to SCS on Friday last to collect our donations and spoke to the 2A RE group. She reminded us of how our small sacrifices can make a huge difference to children in need.
Well done everyone!
Hard luck to our U16 and U19 Girls Basketball teams and their coaches, Ms. Maria Wilson and Ms. Kate O Donovan who were beaten by Coláiste Pobail Bheanntraí yesterday in the league.
TY Home Economics and Spanish students joined forces to prepare and enjoy a typical Spanish breakfast together.
Students were responsible for creating a shopping list and price comparison for different items of food, as they had a budget to adhere to. The TY Home Economics class prepared some of the foods & presented them.
The TY Spanish & Home Economics classes were also busy designing menus, decorating the room, sourcing suitable music, setting up the cafetería, serving the food, tidying up afterwards and teaching each other Spanish phrases. The Home Economics & Spanish students also experienced the sensory challenge of differentiating between freshly squeezed orange juice and concentrated orange juice.
We were lucky to have Jone, Wisdom and José in our group and they explained each dish in Spanish. Ivan also explained his typical Ukranian breakfast, and he also prepared a Ukranian breakfast for the TY students to try.
Students sampled freshly made pan con tomate, magdalenas, napolitanas, tortilla española, zumo de naranja, chocolate caliente and café con leche.
It was a very enjoyable morning for all involved!!!
Mr. Anton O’Mahony, Mr. Cormac O’Brien and Ms. Orla O’Sullivan were officially welcomed by Mr. Jim Broudeau Scituate Town Administrator, his team and Mrs. Brenda O’ Connor.
We were given a guided tour by Bob Chessia of key Scituate places: Scituate Lighthouse, a water tower and The Maritime Irish Mossing Museum.
A lovely lunch was provided in The Mill Wharf.
The group were very touched that Mr. Noel Daly and his daughter drove from Boston to meet everyone as he was related to two students.
The first day of the Boston trip got off to a great start in Scituate where the group were formally welcomed.
One of the highlights for the group was travelling in one of their yellow buses.
SCS are organising the inaugural Freaky Fancy Dress Friday on October 27th.
We are asking all students and staff to dress up in their spookiest Halloween costumes. There will be fantastic prizes on the day.
This will still be a regular school day with classes as normal. All costumes should be appropriate for school. For anyone who does not wish to partake, it is full school uniform.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's ghoulish costumes on the day!
Second years have been busy designing and building energy transforming devices in science as part of their Junior Cycle course. They have showed some great design and engineering skills in the process.
First years have been very busy in their first term in science in SCS. They have been building lovely 3D models of plant and animal cells.
They have also been carrying out food investigations for starch and reduced sugars.
