Young Social Innovators

​Congratulations to our Young Social Innovators in TY who last week won the award for best song at the Munster Regional Final of the Speak Out competition. Teams from across Munster pitched their inspiring ideas for social change in front of a panel of judges. Our team have been researching Type 1 diabetes. They have been encouraging people to become more aware of the condition and will continue to do so in the coming weeks. Well done all! Young Social Innovators Follow their Instagram: @blindconsumption2020.

Photography Workshop

​A huge thank you to past pupil Brian from Impressions Photography Ireland for coming along to his old stomping ground yesterday to do a workshop with our Comp-Pix Club. Our students were fascinated by all Brian had to say and learnt lots from his time with us. They were particularly enamoured with the practical aspect of taking and editing photos. We are truly grateful to Brian for taking time out to talk to us and working with us for the afternoon.

PE-XPO

Well done to our 5th yr LCPE students who competed in the annual PE-XPO Ireland competion in DCU.

Photography Club Fundraiser

​We are delighted to announce a new collaboration between our Comp-Pix Photography Club and the Love Shannon Group who have encouraged us in this project. Our club are fundraising towards our ‘Home Sweet Home’ photography exhibition which will celebrate Shannon and our surrounding areas. We have created a ‘magnetic postcard’ featuring photos of Shannon. The postcard has been designed to showcase the beauty we have around us here and our hope is that it will sit proudly on fridges in homes and businesses throughout the town and perhaps further afield.
We commend our students on how they have captured the beauty that is our town. We hope that you can help support this venture. Each magnetic postcard will cost €5 and goes towards the exhibition, camera equipment and a fund raising money for a celebration screen in the canteen to highlight all our students accomplish. Postcards will be on sale from Thursday.

Debating Club

​We were delighted with the turnout at our newly formed ‘Debating Club’ on Wednesday. This new club will continue each week on a Wednesday between 3.20pm and 4.20pm in room 15. There is still plenty of time to join the club and we would encourage students to join in, take part and speak up!

Senior Cycle Options Evening

​We are looking forward to welcoming people to The Comp once again for our Senior Cycle Options Evening tonight. We will have lots of information at hand for those moving into the senior part of their journey here.

European Model Council Debate

Well done to our students on a great effort at the European Model Council Debate in Dublin today. They made some valuable points in representing Malta and the Chair of the debate MEP Barry Andrews noted this at the end. He also praised our students for forming alliances with 3 other member states showing unity and demonstrated a political necessity when notably many others didn’t. Also a big thanks to their enthusiastic supporters in the audience waving their Malta flags whenever an opportunity arose.

Climate Change Talk

The Student Council and Green Schools committee had a Climate Change Talk in the school library on Monday. The talk was facilitated by the NYCI and presented by Valery Molay, a Climate action officer with the NYCI. It was most informative and gave our students a lot to think about when endeavoring to strike out as young policy contributors.

SEAI Regional Final Winners

A massive congrats to our TYs from the #CompGoesGreen initiative and their teacher Ms. Hayes on winning the regional finals of the SEAI #onegoodidea competition. To say they have accomplished a lot here in our school is an understatement and we are incredibly proud of all that they have achieved to date. There is still more to come from this passionate group and we look forward to seeing them compete in the finals in Dublin this April. Well done everyone! 

Young Social Innovators

Our TYs are taking part in the Young Social Innovators this year. One of our groups ‘Shape your mind to shape your Future’ wanted to brighten the day for 1st years by making them smile! Their messages of positivity and love were shared on the lockers today as a gesture to show that something small can really make someone’s day. Thank you TYs!
