Comhghairdeas leis na daltaí ar fad agus a gcuid múinteoirí as na torthaí iontacha a gnóthaíodh arís i mbliana. D’eirigh le duine as gach triúr (32%) breis agus 510 pointe a fháil, figiúr é seo atá beagnach ceithre huaire níos airde ná an ráta náisiúnta (8%) de réir figiúirí an CAO. Tréaslaítear le cách!
EXCELLENT RESULTS AGAIN!
Congratulations to the pupils and their teachers on the excellent results achieved again this year which hopefully will secure first place preference for most. Overall attainment saw nearly one in three (32%) pupils attain or exceed 510 points which according to CAO statistics is four times higher than the national rate (8%) – well done to all again!
Each year students are presented with Gold Medals in recognition of their excellence in preparing project work which is submitted as part of the State Examinations – Junior Certificate and Leaving Certificate.

Bhí rith an ráis le himreoirí an Choláiste nuair a bhuaigh siad craobh na hÉireann ‘Spikeball’ ar an 19ú Márta i gColaiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath, áit a fuair siad an lámh in uachtar ar scórlíne 9-21,21-11,15-9. Comhghairdeas le Jack, Mollaí, Ross, Leah, Óisín, Hazel, Eimhin agus Alanna.
Tá pobal an Choláiste fíor-bhródúil as Brendán Ó Cionnaith tar eís dó bonn airgid a bhuachan ag comórtas domhanda i Kick Boxing. Bhí mí-ádh ar Bhrendán sa mbabhta ceannais agus é ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Rúiseach – ag deireadh an troda ní raibh tada eatarthu, iad ar comhscór, b’éigean don triúr réiteoir vóta a chaitheamh agus níorbh é Brendán a roghnaíodh sa ‘split decision’. E sin ráite, níor chaill sé babhta ar bith agus is sar-éacht é bonn airgid a thabhairt abhaile ó chomórtas domhanda!

Brendan reached the final of the U19 division where he finished unbeaten, he shared the points with his Russian opponent – the eventual winner decided by a split decision call from the 3 man referee panel. Brendan’s achievements in his chosen sport reflect his hugely positive attitude and his determination in all that he undertakes- sport and study alike. Comhghairdeas.

In Coláiste an Eachréidh language is of paramount importance. We emphasise the significance of our national language, Gaeilge, everyday as we speak it, sing it and hear its beautiful musicality echo around the school. But Béarla / English is also highly valued and nurtured. Our students have excelled this year both at school and on a national level. Again this year we are delighted to announce that two of our Transition Year students, Sadhbh Goodwin (Persephone) and Eileen Cloonan (HALCYON part II),were successful in the Leitrim County Council annual writing competition “Wild Words”. From hundreds of entries they were chosen to be among the 30 young people whose work was,published in this year’s edition of the anthology of writing. The girls also were awarded the opportunity to attend various writing workshops over the summer as they hone their writing skills. Their poems are beautifully constructed and well worth a read. Well done girls. Comhghairdeas.
