Awards Night 2011
Congratulations to all students who received awards at the recent Awards Night at CCS. Well done also to the many students who were nominated. Guest speaker on the night was past pupil Stephen O’Leary, Media Analyst. The Hall of Fame award was presented to Cllr. Tim Lombard, Mayor Cork County and also a past pupil of CCS, who launched the recently published book ’30 Bliain Faoi Bhláth’ – 30 years of Carrigaline Community School.
In his speech, Principal, Mr. John Hourihan said that the planning stage of the new extension to the school had been completed and that work would start early next year. He stated that “this State investment in the future of education in our community is a clear indication that the Department of Education views Carrigaline Community School as a vibrant and excellent centre of learning into the future”.
A special performance by the newly formed Glee Club, with guest singer Laura O’Sullivan and managed by Ms. Niamh McCarthy and Ms. Ann O’Regan was one of the highlights of the night.
The awards were coordinated by Dr. Caitríona McGrath.
Well done to all on a very successful Log On, Learn!
This years Log On, Learn has sadly come to an end. Both the Students and the Buddies received certificates at the end of the course. The Students and the Buddies both leave the course with a variety of new skills which they will hopefully use in the future and of course new found friends.
Thanks to everyone involved with this years course.

Log on Learn 2011
On Monday the 10th of October Carrigaline Community School Transition Year students were introduced to their buddies for the Log on Learn programme where older members of the community learn about computers from students in the school. All those involved were full of enthusiasm and couldn’t wait to get started.
22 people arrived at C.C.S and were paired up with a student to learn about the following in the coming weeks: Parts of the Computer, Microsoft Word, Internet and Email. Those with more experience will be able to go beyond this and learn more advanced things such as using Skype and shopping online.
Students reported that ‘It was a great experience meeting their buddy on the opening day’. They all agreed that they had a good time on Day 1 of the teaching and all are looking forward to the forthcoming classes.
Below are some photographs of Log On, Learn on the opening day.
