World Record Achievement for Irish Department
Dé Céadaoin, an dara lá de Dheireadh Fómhair, bhí ócáid an-speisialta ar siúl i bPobalscoil Charraig Uí Leighin. Ghlac grúpa mór dalta páirt i ‘Comhrá 24/7’, cur-iarracht domhanda don chomhrá leanúnach is faide as Gaeilge. Bhí seachtain chomhrá ar siúl ar fud an domhain agus rinne na daltaí uair a’ chloig mar chuid den chur-iarracht. Bhí an comhrá le feiceáil beo ar Twitter mar bhí ceamara greasáin ag taifeadadh sa leabharlann. Bhí gach duine ar fheabhas ar fad agus bhí spraoi agus craic ag gach duine. Tar éis an chomhrá bhí sú agus cáca milis ar fáil! Bhí an-rath ar an ócáid agus bhí na daltaí an-bhródúil mar tá Gaeilge do-chreidte acu! Go raibh míle agaibh a mhúinteoirí agus a dhaltaí. Gaeilge abú!

You are about to go on a journey…BACK TO THE 80’S
Join the cast of Carrigaline Community School this March as they venture into the past. From the era that brought the world The Rubik’s Cube and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles students and teachers have come together to produce a truly ‘ awesome’ show.
Follow the lives of these teenagers from the eighties only to discover things were not so different, well apart from the clothes and terrible hairstyles!!!
Set in the USA, Back To The 80’s tells the story of the senior class of William Ocean High School, as remembered and seen through the eyes of Corey Palmer, who is now 30-something. (played by teacher Mr. Oliver Troy)
‘The cast includes some amazing voices,’ said co- director Laura O Callaghan. ‘It should be a fun and entertaining night for everyone.’ Numbers include ‘Girls just wanna have fun’, ‘Hey Mickey’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Man in the Mirror’. Ann O Regan, Co-director said ‘I think it will be a fun night for parents and students alike – many of the parents will have grown up in the 80’s and they will be brought right back in time.’

Commencement of new BUILDING PROJECT
The DoES has appointed Mythen Construction, Foulksmills, Co. Wexford, www.mythenconstruction.ie, as the construction team for one of Munster’s biggest construction projects at Carrigaline Community School. The project has just commenced.
The architectural design team for the project is led by Kelly Barry O’Brien Whelehan Architects, Summer Hill, Cork, www.kobw.ie
The project will involve the demolition of the existing Physical Education hall and the construction of a new modern full size P.E. hall in its place. It will also include the construction of a 3 storey extension on the by-pass road side of the campus. This state of the art extension will greatly enhance existing facilities. Our school will have 14 new classrooms, new science facilities, enhanced career guidance facilities, new ICT facilities, new engineering facilities, new social areas, student circulation areas and additional administration offices as well as new toilet blocks and locker areas. A specialist ASD Resource Centre will also be developed as part of the enhanced facilities.
The Home Page will update the community on developments as they proceed.
