History trip: Senior History students, along with Transition Years visited Carrick Cineplex recently for a viewing of the film, The First Man, as part of their History studies. Students found the trip beneficial to their course work, with many thanks to Mr Nolan for organising the outing.
Debate: Our TY debate team were busy again last week, taking on Lanesboro in their latest encounter. Although the group lost out on this occasion, from chatting to the team it is clear to see enthusiasm is high and they are already busy planning the next one.
Sports: Our first year MCC boys represented Leitrim this week at a 5 a side soccer blitz in Sligo IT. The team, under management of Mr Beirne had a very successful run in the competition, well done to all on their great performance. The U-14 boys took on Ballymote, at home in MCC with Mr Duffy overseeing a great win for the team. Our U-14 girls were unlucky to lose out to Manorhamilton in an away fixture, hard luck to the team and manager Ms Fitzpatrick.
TY Quiz: Congratulations to Ms Hargaden Ward and her team of four Transition Years, on their success at the Leitrim Library quiz in Ballinamore recently. Maeve Newton, Robyn Gaffey, Mark Reynolds and Ronan McNabola took home a win, well done to all involved!

TY Activities: It was a busy week for our Transition Years. They headed for Sligo on Wednesday, to a Road Safety Awareness day, where they engaged with members of the emergency services and survivors of road traffic accidents, to raise awareness among the group on the issue. Many thanks to Ms Purcell for organising the visit and accompanying the class.
The students also completed their etiquette classes this week, with Michelle, a guest speaker who worked with the students on life skills such as tying a tie and dinner table settings. While chatting to students about it, they agreed it was something they didn’t know they needed and thoroughly enjoyed! With thanks to Ms Maxwell & Ms Kellegher for organising this module.

Congratulations Nina Greene
Anti Bullying Week: Working hard against anti bullying is important to us here in MCC and this week we welcomed Garda Hugh Barry to speak to the students about bullying and in particular, cyber bullying. The students gained great information from this so a huge thank you to our guest speaker & Ms Columb, for organising this and the posters that also helped highlight the issue. Well done to all on raising awareness on a very important topic.
