Many congratulations to our Third Year students wh

Many congratulations to our Third Year students who completed their first three years in DCC last week!
They gathered together with their Year Head Ms Ní Bhrolcháin and their tutors to celebrate their achievements across their subjects, their extra-curricular activities and their adoption of the school motto: "Ad Astra".
Our Third Year students had a difficult start to secondary school owing to the Covid pandemic, but they have worked hard across their three years of Junior Cycle and will be looking forward to demonstrating that work in their exams next week!
We are so proud of all they have achieved and look forward to welcoming them back to TY and 5th year in the new school term.
We wish them every success with their exams and we remind them to get their revision done (even though the sunshine is very alluring this week!).

Congratulations to Argentina who won the inaugural

Congratulations to Argentina who won the inaugural Copa Del DCC!
Since February, boys and girls from second year have been playing a tournament after school in a league format, followed by playoffs/ knockout stage that took place during school.
Germany came out on top of the league stage and were favourites for the playoffs. Brazil, who finished last in the league stages, put it up to Germany in the quarter-final but fell short.
The league champions were then dumped out of the semi-finals by 2nd place in the league, Spain in a classic semi-final.
Spain were well fancied in the final against a mid-table finishing Argentina team but were humbled 6-1 by the South Americans, with massive performances from Jamie Cray and Matthew O’Connor in the final.
Winners - Argentina 🇦🇷
Runners Up - Spain 🇪🇸
3rd place - Germany 🇩🇪
Well done to Liam Murray who was 'Player of the Year' in the tournament!
Well done and thank you to Mr O'Meara and Mr Murphy for coordinating the competition!

It has been a phenomenally busy week in DCC between graduations, award ceremonies and preparation for exams. Lots of photos of all to come.
However, we take a moment to wish our 1st, 2nd and 5th year students all the very best in their summer exams starting this morning.
Exam results do not define any student. They are a snapshot of understanding and knowledge at a single moment in time.
We ask that students do their very best and we look forward to a new school term working on improving the work completed this term.
Summer timetables available on our website!
Best of luck all!
