GCC RAISES AWARENESS OF HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY AT CHRISTMAS TIME On Friday December 4th last, a group of students along with some staff members of GCC decided to give up the heat and comfort of their homes for one night, and battle the wintery elements and sleep out in the First Year courtyard. The aim of the sleep out was to raise awareness among the whole school community, of the importance of shelter and a place to call home, especially at Christmas. As we hear on the radio, see on television and read in news- papers, homelessness and lack of shelter is becoming a major problem in Ireland. With no mobile phones just a sense of humour and a sleep- ing bag, the sleep out started at 8pm on Friday evening and continued until 8am on Saturday morning. Mr. Padraic Kelleher and Ms. Siobhan Quinn the organisers of the sleep out, would like to thank the staff members (Katherine Foley, SNA, Mr Tadhg O’ Herlihy) and all the students who participated in the sleep out.

Ger will get the job done and will fight for what is right.

Ger knows the hardship of trying to raise a young family on a very low income. As an Independent Cork County Councillor and a Cork North Central Candidate for the next General Election, Ger will continue in his role to stand up for the most vulnerable in our society, fight for what the people of Cork North Central deserve and to give voters a voice in Dáil Éireann.

MAYFIELD COMMUNITY SCHOOL TO “TRY” ITS HAND AT RUGBY Fresh from the excitement of the Rugby World Cup a little piece of history was made in Mayfield Community School this week with the inaugural training session of the school’s new rugby team. Munster Rugby has selected the school for its prestigious “Emerging Schools Programme” which will see two development officers in hold weekly training sessions in the school for the coming months. Commenting on the development Principal of Mayfield Community School Kieran Golden said “This is a truly fantastic opportunity for students interested in playing rugby to develop their skills whilst giving more experi- enced players the opportunity of showcasing their ability to coaches from Munster Rugby. Numbers at training have been increasing every week and it is hoped that we will be ready to field our first team in competitive action in an under 15 rugby blitz before Christmas.” Mayfield Community School which has had huge success on the soccer and GAA world down the years is hosting the training sessions on its purpose built sports complex and is not the first Cork school to try its hand at different sporting codes in recent years. In concluding remarks Mr. Golden said “Sport is vital to a healthy bal- ance in life, and students who participate in sport can typically do better academically. Our students are sports crazy and have always showed this with their successes on the sporting field throughout the year. We are naturally delighted to now be partnering with Munster to ensure that young people in the Mayfield and surrounding areas can mix play- ing rugby with their studies in a local school setting”
