Yesterday the third year students studying Germans

Yesterday the third year students studying Germans had their first virtual exchange with our partner school in Germany (Gymnasium Gammertingen) this school year.
Our students introduced themselves, spoke about where they live and about their hobbies in German. Well done to everybody who took part!
Our partners spoke about the same topics in English to us. It was lovely to see the other school again and we are looking forward to many more virtual exchanges where we can discuss more topics.

Yesterday, the 1st year girls’ soccer team embar

Yesterday, the 1st year girls’ soccer team embarked on their 1st outing, taking on Luttrellstown CC. Donabate took control of the game by ratting the net in the first few moments of the game.
Much of the action took place in place in Luttrellstown Community College half of the pitch. Niamh Zaidan, Erin Finn, Sarah Weir, Georgia Hall and Orlaith Browne all found the net in 1st half. With Georgia Hall also scored from a penalty kick.
The second half got underway, and Ms. Collins and Ms. Fennell made some positional changes. DCC continued their scoring streak with Anna Russell, Katelyn Fogarty, Saoirse Brennan, and Zofia Warzynska all getting their name on the scoring sheet.
Well done to Jay Coates who was captain for today’s game, Jay gave great guidance to the backline.
Thank you very much for Lutterellstown for hosting us. The team are now through the next round of the first year cup.
Well done to all the team and many thanks to Ms Fennell and Ms Collins for their hard work.

Hard luck to the U14 boys GAA team who were defeat

Hard luck to the U14 boys GAA team who were defeated in their quarter final to Salesian College this afternoon.
Mr O’Meara was full of pride for the team and sent the following report ⬇️
Unfortunately DCC were defeated by 6-08 to 2-05 in their quarter final. Beaten 6-8 to 2-5
A goal rush in the first half from the home side left DCC with too high of a mountain to climb. We started very well soaking up some early pressure and going a point ahead thanks to Liam Murray. Unfortunately then, they penned us in and we conceded 1-2 before DCC lost a man to a black card.
During the 10 mins without a player, the Kildare outfit took control of the game, adding another couple of goals. We then lost sharpshooter Liam Murray who was feeling ill and had to come off. DCC ended the first half strongly, adding a few lovely points thanks to Aidan Walsh and Hugh Martin.
As the second half started there were appearances for Sam Kealy and Charlie O’Sullivan, while Alex Evans replaced Hugh Martin.
The lads at the back battled well to hold off some tough pressure from Salesians, with notable defensive performances from Jack Fitzpatrick and Matthew O’Connor.
Donagh Crean worked hard moving the ball up the field, and when Hugh Martin came on again to replace CJ Jones, Martin notched 2-1 to shorten the deficit.
Unfortunately a middle 10 minutes of domination from the hosts ensured that they would take their place in the semi final next week.
Hard luck lads but you have represented the school and the DCC community with great pride and we are very proud of your hard work. 👏🏻👏🏻

If anyone has board or card games at home that they no longer need or use, the TY Social Ed module would put them to a good home and good use.

All games, in good condition, really appreciated.
