Comghairdeas ó chroí Mollaí as an éacht a rinne tú breis is seachtain ó shin nuair a bhuaigh tú an bonn ÓIR i gcomórtas Triathlon na scoileanna. Beidh Mollaí agus a deartháir Jack san iomaíocht i mbabhtaí ceannais na hÉireann an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn.

Mollaí, pictured left, stands on the gold medal podium after her first place finish in the Schools Triathlon. She had just under a minute to spare after completing a 400m swim, followed by a 10Km cycle and to finish a 3Km road race. Mollaí who is dedicated to her chosen sport spent the Easter holidays training abroad. We wish her the very best in next weekend’s All-Ireland finals.

Best of luck also to her younger brother Jack who will also represent the Coláiste after his 3rd place finish at the provincial finals. Brothers Darragh and Brogan Cloonan also competed in the Connaught finals but came up just short of qualification for this year’s finals. Maith sibh ar fad.

 

At the recently held regional Order of Malta competitions Coláiste an Eachréidh students excelled. Sean Lyons won gold in the ‘Two Person Team and Foot Drill’ with the Craughwell Unit. Stephen Carta won gold in the ‘Senior Four Aid Team. Other Coláiste students who participated were Jean Ní Cheallaigh, Elis Ní Bhroinn, Amy Ní Shionnaigh agus Katie Ní Cheallaigh

2017 BT Young Scientist Award winner, Ciara-Beth Griffin who, on the strength of the App she developed for young people with autism, was selected as one of 33 global teens taking global issues in their own hands. The group convened in New York City for a week in March, on an all expenses paid forum by Three Dot Dash.

Three Dot Dash is a global youth initiative of  ‘We Are Family Foundation’ (WAFF) inspired by the late New York Times best-selling poet and peacemaker, 13-year-old Mattie J.T. Stepanek. It is a year-long social entrepreneur incubator and mentoring program designed to amplify the work of young people successfully addressing issues related to basic human needs (education, environment, food, health, safety, shelter, water), and having a positive impact on our global communities. “Peace is possible if our basic human needs are met.” – Mattie J.T.
