Christmas 2019 Newsletter BLACKROCK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER Christmas 2019 Dear Parents, The “true meaning of Christmas” is a phrase coined in the middle of the 19th Century as people lamented the secularisation of the celebration of the birth of Christ. Substitute ‘commercialisation’ for ‘secularisation’ and it still has currency today. For some, the world-famous Coca-Cola ad flags the start of the Christmas season. There is no let up as advertising on social media and the advent of online sales add to the fever pitch. Of course, this has a place and contributes significantly to the celebratory atmosphere, brings people together and encourages a welcome generosity of spirit. However, it is interesting to note that only 67% of adults surveyed in the U.S. believed that the infant Jesus is more important to Christmas than Santa Claus. 14% had no opinion. Keeping the Christian Christmas in the face of the Santa Claus version is a challenge but one we should be willing to tackle. Christmas matters because in the words of C.S. Lewis, “The Son of God became man to enable men to become sons of God”. This is a powerful message. It is for this reason that Christmas is a time of hope, joy, love and peace. It is a time of wonder and awe, a time for humility, a time to put others first. The great Fr Stanley, Principal of Willow Park School, Senior and Junior, for over 30 years used tell the boys about the JOY of Christmas - Jesus, Others,You. The most important gift we bring to any gathering is one which cannot be wrapped. It is our presence rather than presents that makes the difference. Christmas is a difficult time for many, be it the bereaved, the infirm, the elderly or the lonely. There are many on the margins of society for whom the season brings little comfort or joy. We must reach out to them. As Fr Peter McVerry put it, “Because of Christmas, we Christians believe that we encounter God not in sacred places but in other human beings. We Christians worship God by loving God in each other”. To love God in each other, goodwill is not enough; action is key. The response of the boys, the parents, my colleagues and the Union to the St Vincent de Paul appeal has been phenomenal. The time and personal commitment to the 24 hour fast, cyclothon, Soccer Marathon, mince pies morning, Christmas Tree project, duck races and hamper delivery is faith in action. And of course, this spirit is not just a seasonal step but one that should remain constant in our minds and hearts throughout the year. Our recent Climate Action Day provided further evidence of the determination of our boys to tackle this challenge by putting before our school community practical ways in which we can make a difference. I commend the Student Council, Green Schools, Development Education and Student Wellbeing Committees for their enterprise and leadership. This had been an extraordinarily busy half-term. The sensational West Side Story production, the impressive B.C.R., our inspirational Carol Service, the overflowing (what a crowd!) Transition Year Family Mass and the Blessing of the Boats alongside a comprehensive extra-curricular programme and a dynamic classroom experience provide the boys with boundless opportunities for personal, social, intellectual and spiritual development. The recent W.S.E.- MLL inspection has provided a searching examination of this offering. Parents, teachers and students have been surveyed, classrooms visited, focus groups met.We await their report. Finally, I wish you all a peaceful, restful and holy Christmastide.At Blackrock, we place the birth of Christ firmly at the centre of our celebration. May His coming amongst us continue to inspire care, compassion and concern. I thank the Spiritan Community, my colleagues, the parent body, our past pupils and of course the boys for sharing our Christian vision. __________ Photos from L to R : a) David Ryan ( 6th Year) reading at the Carol Service ALAN MacGINTY b) Jamie Mcloughlin (Fourth Year) working hard selling trees for SVP Principal c) Callum Byrne ( 6th Year) as Riff in West Side Story Second Year Our Second Years have completed an active first term in the College and have set basketball, cycling, badminton, squash, swimming, some excellent standards.

  • Schools in Ireland? Analysing Feeder School Performance Using Student Destination Data
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Which are the "best" schools in Ireland? Analysing feeder school performance using student destination data Borooah, Vani and Dineen, Donal and Lynch, Nicola University of Ulster, University of Limerick, University of Derby 2009 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/75680/ MPRA Paper No. 75680, posted 21 Dec 2016 17:11 UTC Which are the "best" schools in Ireland? Analysing feeder school performance using student destination data+ Vani K. Borooah* University of Ulster Donal Dineen** University of Limerick Nicola Lynch*** University of Limerick February 2010 Abstract This paper represents an investigation of the broad factors which underpin the success of feeder schools in terms of the proportion of their “sits” who proceed to third-level education and, also, in terms of the “quality” of their educational destinations. It distinguishes between three school types: public (non-fee paying, English language) private (fee paying, English language), and Gaelscoil (non-fee paying, Irish language). Both private schools and the Gaelscoileanna reported much better results than public schools. From this, the paper disentangles the nature of this advantage by investigating the extent to which private school and Gaelscoil advantage over public schools was predicated on better circumstances and/or on better responses to circumstances. Our results show that private schools and the Gaelscoileanna had a response advantage over public schools: if private schools and the Gaelscoileanna were constrained to responding to their circumstances in the manner in which public schools responded to theirs, the performance of private schools and the Gaelscoileanna would suffer. By constraining the coefficient responses of all three types of schools to be that of public schools, we arrive at a revised list of the "best performing" twenty five feeder schools in Ireland.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • The Gonzaga Record 1985
    THE GONZAGA RECORD 1985 T h e G o n z a g a R e c o r d THE GONZAGA RECORD 1985 ^ <r Editor William Lee SJ. Gonzaga College Dublin SPONSORS We wish to thank the following for their support: The Bank of Ireland, Wilson and Hartnell, Appleby, Jewellers, The Irish Intercontinental Bank, The Allied Irish Banks, Robinson, Keefe and Devane. © G onzaga College, 1985 Designed and produced by Publications Management; Cover design by Jacques Teljeur. Typeset and printed by Brunswick Press Limited, Dublin. PREFACE I welcome this first issue of The Gonzaga Record and I congratulate Fr Lee and his associates on its production. A school annual serves many purposes: it constitutes an important record of a school’s development over many generations: it strengthens, over time, a school’s sense of identity; and it links the present pupils with those who have long since left. This, the first edition, is rightly strong on history, and though in the future the emphasis will undoubtedly shift from the past to the present, and deal equally with the large contribution made by the lay masters, this issue will certainly be seen as an important document on the origins and development of the ideals which have shaped Gonzaga. Noel Barber sj Headmaster EDITORIAL Perhaps The Gonzaga Record should have come into existence years ago. On the other hand, there is something to be said for waiting until an institution such as a school has settled down properly. For one thing, until comparatively recent years Gonzaga College was a very small school.

  • The Generosity of Our Donors Has Changed Thousands of Lives Across the Island of Ireland and Around the World
    thank you The generosity of our donors has changed thousands of lives across the island of Ireland and around the world. The Ireland Funds has never wavered in its commitment and core mission: to deliver private philanthropy support to worthy causes that promote peace and reconciliation, arts and culture, education and community development. On behalf of the organizations doing extraordinary work, we thank you. connect 2017 • 6 “Co-operation Ireland is committed to peace-building on the island of Ireland and we will continue to deliver innovative programs which challenge people’s thinking and attitudes. Support we receive from The Ireland Funds highlights what can be achieved with funding that allows for more creativity and input from the people the programs aim to help.” — CO-OPERATION IRELAND “The Ireland Funds have been huge to our charity. We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for The Ireland Funds. In those early years the funding was so critical because when we started there was nothing else coming in. It’s been a great relationship.” — IRISH DOGS FOR THE DISABLED Impact Report “Historically, there hasn’t been a tradition of private philanthropy in Ireland.
