First year students gathered for an Assembly yeste

First year students gathered for an Assembly yesterday led by Mr Roche.
Mr Roche praised students for how well they had settled into school and showed them the ‘Pyramid of Success’ they had developed at the start of the year.
This pyramid proudly hangs in each of their home rooms and in the first year corridor. It is a reminder to students about they should always try their best, participate in their classes and help and support each other as the year goes on.
Mr Roche congratulated those students who had received excellent notes on VSWare for the month of September.
Alongside a refresher about school rules, first years were reminded about the importance of reporting cyberbullying to a trusted adult and looking out for each other.
We are very proud of how well our new students have settled into life in DCC!

This year, we are delighted to have a team entered

This year, we are delighted to have a team entered into the Equestrian Interschools Ireland League running between now and next April. We wish TY student Rhona Spagnoletti and 5th Year students Hazel McGoey and Chloe Hanlon every success with this year’s competition.
Schools from all over Ireland compete in this competition, giving Rhona, Hazel and Chloe lots of terrific opportunities to compete in some of the best equestrian venues around the country.
Last Sunday week, the girls and their horses travelled all the way to Rosslare to compete. While Rhona and Chloe competed in the Individual 80cm class, Hazel jumped in the Individual 90cm class. While there may not have been any rosettes brought home, each student had a solid jumping round and have identified areas to improve for future weeks. A big thank you to DCC alumni Cole Bowbrick, for acting as Chef D’Equip on the day (assisting the girls by helping them warm up and doing the course walk with them).
They will get the opportunity to put this learning into practice this Sunday, 2nd October as they travel to Coilóg Equestrian Centre, Kildare for the second round of the League. Rhona and Hazel are travelling with their horses Cookie and Rocklawns Warrior (Rocky!) while Chloe is giving her horse, Royal Mastermind (Sam!) a deserved break.
This afternoon, Mr Doyle presented Rhona and Hazel with a numnah or saddle pad to use during their competitions.
We wish the team every success this season and look forward to hearing how their League goes! Best of luck on Sunday girls!
A big thank you to Anne Dickinson and Rhona, Hazel and Chloe for their help in compiling this piece!

Huge congratulations to 5th Year student Suzie Lin

Huge congratulations to 5th Year student Suzie Linkiewicz who was a member of the Dublin LGFA U16 squad that annexed the Leinster and All Ireland titles earlier this year.
Today, we were delighted to welcome back DCC alumni Orla Keeling along with the cups to celebrate this tremendous achievement. Orla was a mentor with the team as they battled all the way to All Ireland glory, defeating Cork by 4-12 to 3-09 in a dramatic final.
DCC's Senior ladies team and Mr Weafer congratulated Suzie and Orla on their achievement and some of our First Year students even got their hands on the Cups!
The Senior ladies team, captained by 6th Year student Ellen Kirwan will get their Championship underway tomorrow as they take on Malahide CS away at 1pm. We wish them every success!
We are so delighted to have an All Ireland winner in our midst in DCC and we are very grateful to Orla for taking the time out to come and visit us! 🙂

On the 30th of September, Donabate Community Colle

On the 30th of September, Donabate Community College will be engaging in its first 5km Wellbeing run. This is an event that the whole school (staff and students) will be participating in.
As part of the run, everyone participating can wear their P.E uniform into school on the day. Everyone participating will receive a proper running jersey as well as a timing chip so that you can time your run. This will allow you to compete with friends or maybe be the fastest runner for your year group, for which there will be prizes.
In order to fund the event everyone is being asked to bring in €5 towards the cost of your jersey. Please bring this €5 to your tutor this week.
A GoFund me page has been set up where you can get sponsorship for your run. This link is available in our bio and we would ask that you share this with friends and family. All money raised will be used for school wellbeing activities.
A big thank you to Dr Moran who is coordinating the organisation of the Run!
Please share this post!
