Kilkenny College Summer 2019 KILKENNY COLLEGE SUMMER 2019 The Summer Term has come and gone, and the 2019 school year has concluded. The Junior and Leaving Certificate students worked with commitment and dedication through their examinations and everyone at the College wishes them all a deserved rest now and success when their results are issued. Reports for pupils for Forms 1, 2, 4 and 5 have been posted. Booklists and the School Calendar for 2019/20 are available to download on our website. The annual school photographs are now available from https://my.stickyfolios.com/pw4qbtcrmyhq Summer events 2019 The Summer Term was a busy term both within the classroom and in the extra-curricular activities programme. There were also a number of significant annual end of year events. Form 6 Graduation The members of 6th Form 2019 concluded their second level education in a very positive manner in the weeks prior to and during the State examinations. A series of events organised to mark the concluding weeks of their time in the College were organised by students and staff together. These included a soccer match played in a friendly communal atmosphere where enjoyment for all was the primary consideration. The 6th Form final day saw students signing each other’s shirts as mementos and then participating in the ‘Glenn Hatton Cup’ soccer match, this was followed by a Barbecue. The formal Graduation ceremony took place in the Willoughby Hall. Dean David MacDonnell led the service within the ceremony, addressed the students and gave the Blessing, following which students performed a number of musical items. The ceremony concluded with the presentation of certificates to each member of 6th Form, after which refreshments were provided for family, staff and students together. The support of all parents and colleagues at the College in working with the members of 6th Form through the concluding weeks of the year is greatly appreciated. This is a challenging time for all concerned. It is a reflection of the positive inter-relationships between staff and students that this phase of the year was completed in a harmonious manner. The students subsequently commenced and have moved with success through the Leaving Certificate process. Best wishes are extended to each member of 6th Form 2019 as they move into the next phase of their lives beyond the College. Thanks, are expressed once again for the contribution each person made to the life of the College during their education here. Form 6 Tree Planting Ceremony in the College Garden Retirement The end of this school year saw the retirement of one Senior member of the teaching staff: Mr. Clayton. Mr. Clayton is a highly regarded, excellent teacher to whom Kilkenny College owes a deep debt of gratitude for all he has given to our students and the life of the school during his service. Mr. Clayton has been a leader in teaching, boarding ECA and the Pastoral Care of students. We wish Mr. Clayton every future happiness as he undertakes a new journey in his life beyond Kilkenny College. Kilkenny College Parents’ Association and the Board of Management acknowledged the distinguished service of Mr. Kevin Clayton, on his retirement, at an end of year reception in Newpark Hotel in May. A Presentation was also made to Ms. Sarah Rice, Ms. Kathy Crampton, Dean Susan Green (not pictured) and Mr. Ian Sexton (not pictured) Mr. Kevin Clayton Ms. Sarah Rice Ms. Kathy Crampton Transition Year The 2018-19 T.Y. class have had an exciting year and expressed their experiences through a dazzling display and participation of all the students in their ‘1950’s’ Themed exhibition, on Thursday 23rd May. They held the audience spellbound as they sang, danced and entertained their way through a broad repertoire of performances demonstrating their confidence and capability to engage and take ownership of material outside their comfort zone. A great evening for the large crowd in attendance. A well-produced and colourful T.Y. Year Book is now on sale describing the action-packed programme. Form 3 pupils and parents got the chance to visit the exhibition and whet their appetites for next year. Mr. Richard Willis and his team were thanked for their outstanding creativity and motivation. Visit www.tyeye.ie for lots more pictures and information. Gael Linn Debating A huge congratulations to Ms. Ryan and the Senior Irish Debating team of Molly Parmeter, Rachel Kavanagh and Iseult Cahill who won the All-Ireland Gael Linn Debating competition. This is a historic achievement for Kilkenny College. Tractor Run 2019 Congratulations to all involved in this year’s Tractor Run where €6,603.29 was raised in aid of The Carlow Kilkenny Home Care Team. The Committee was Chaired by Ellis Caldbeck. Ellis, Rebecca Sherwood and Nathan Tomb presented a cheque for €6603.29 to Mary Pender and Ian Wilson of Carlow Kilkenny Home Care Team. The TY Tractor Run saw 58 tractors take part to raise funds for the charity. Drama ‘Blood Brothers’ This year’s drama group staged a wonderful version of Blood Brothers. Students and parents filled the McAdoo Hall for three nights to witness outstanding performances by the cast and crew, giving a brilliant realisation of this famous play. Drama is open to all year groups. All students who may think they might like to give it a go, or, think they might be nervous but would still like to give it a go, or, really don’t know what to think but were inspired by the cast of Blood Brothers, should ALL give it a go! More information will be available at the beginning of the 2019/20 academic year. The Cast of ‘Blood Brother’ Green Schools The Green School Committee have had another very busy year working on the theme of Global Citizenship and Marine Environment.

Wellbeing Benches Library Adam Maher Chair of The Library Committee addressing the audience at the official opening of the new College Library recently. With the financial help and assistance of our Board of Management, our Parents’ Association and Past Pupils Association we opened our new Library in the Spring. Since then it has become a part of everyday life in our College, hosting debates, talks, and a poetry recital. Central to any library is the issuing and return of books. An entire stock of books was obtained by purchasing and from generous donations. Our opening hours are lunchtime daily, afternoons from Monday to Thursday, and on Wednesday during Prep. Our Library is also used by teachers with class groups. We have sections on every possible topic, a junior reading area, and a section of books to cater for students with dyslexia and other learning challenges. We will be introducing a research project section, linking in with the national public library service network, as well as an audio section with headphones for our users. Next year we will have a busy calendar with a panel of speakers including authors and poets, debates, a junior book club and a senior book club, talks and creative writing and poetry workshops. There will also be competitions and prizes for our students throughout the school year. We would ask our parents to encourage our students to use our Library, as it is a resource on their doorstep and can open a world of possibilities for them. I would like to thank Mr. Cuddihy and our voluntary Library Committee headed up by Adam Maher for their ongoing work and expertise. Heritage Society ‘Our Heritage’ will be the theme for the year ahead, as our members explore and discover more about many aspects of our landscapes, our plants, trees and wildlife in our College grounds and in our Countryside. We will be planting bulbs and perennials as part of our garden restoration project at Celbridge House and in our College grounds. The Heritage Society will travel to Cork and Cloyne in the early Autumn, as well as trips to Rathdowney, home of Thomas Prior a past-pupil who brought the Agricultural Revolution to Ireland, and to many other venues in Kilkenny and surrounding Counties. Guest speakers will visit, an annual table quiz will be held, along with debates, discussions and plenty more, often in our Library. We will also have a Bake Sale too, please support our fundraising efforts to help others that need our help. In the last year the Heritage Society raised over €800 for repairs to Churches in three Counties. I want to thank my predecessors Eva Shirley, Harry Fennell for all of their hard work and to wish Harry and Jake O’Doherty all the best as they leave our College. Harry was Chairman and Jake Vice-Chairman and with others they helped our Heritage Society to grow into an organised Society with clear goals, a real purpose and a written Constitution. Eva was Chairperson in the past year and kept us busy and her ongoing work and advice is appreciated by myself and others. A full schedule of events will be displayed on our Notice Board at the start of term. In short, we will be busy. All new members are welcome.

  • 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.

  • Summer 2019 Newsletter
    BLACKROCK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER Summer 2019 Dear Parents, Niki Lauda, the Formula One racing legend, three times world champion, passed away on 20th May last. He had an extraordinary career which almost ended tragically when his Ferrari ploughed into the side of the track and burst into flames at the German Grand Prix in August 1976. Guy Edwards, a competitor in the race witnessed the car in flames behind him, stopped, ran back and pulled Niki from the burning car with the assistance of two other drivers who had followed his example. His actions saved Niki’s life. Niki Lauda despite the severity of the burns on his head along with several fractures and serious internal injuries, severe damage to his lungs and mucous membrane from the fibreglass fumes, was back behind the wheel within eight weeks and World Champion the following year. That is a remarkable story, but who was Guy Edwards? Guy Edwards raced in 17 Formula One Grand Prix. He was never on the podium (top 3); he never scored a point (top 6). However,he certainly made a huge impact on the sport… by stopping his car for a fellow driver. I recount this story in the aftermath of our wonderful Prize Day, when we recognised those who have excelled in academia and the Arts, who have given great service, who have shown leadership. Over 130 boys received awards, but how many ‘Guy Edwards’ are there in Blackrock who never make the podium, shake the hand of the Union President or receive the acknowledgement they deserve? I acknowledge and commend the many who make an enormous contribution to Blackrock, who make things happen, who pause to help another, whose presence in our community confirms that Blackrock is about service and love, the sharing of self, the giving of self.

  • PDF of Workers Solidarity 108 Southern Web Edition 1.24 Mb
    A WorkersSolidarity108 March/April 2009 Twenty-Five Years of Irish Anarchist News They Didn’t Share the Wealth WHY SHOULD WE SHARE THE PAIN? There is no money left in Ireland. At least that’s what you might think after listening to Brian Cowan, Enda Kenny, IBEC and the parade of capitalist economists and pundits who parrot this nonsense. Yes, we are heading into a deep recession but guess who is expected to pay the cost? The Government has no problem finding money to bail out bankers and speculators, it’s only when cash is needed for spe- cial-needs teachers, the sick, or to improve run-down schools and hospitals that nothing can be found. The attack on pay & pensions is class struggle by employers and the government against working people. It may sound old-fashioned to talk of class struggle, but what else do you call it when one class wants to preserve its wealth at the expense of the other class? When private sector work- ers see 90% of pension funds they paid into for years going down the tube, Brian Goggin of Bank of Ireland thinks he is hard done by because he will “take home less than €2 million” this year. We had a financial regulator, Patrick Neary, who waltzed off with a golden handshake of €600,000 and a pension of €140,000 per year. That pension alone is the equivalent of what four workers and their families on the average industrial wage live on. And what did Neary do to deserve this, apart from turning a blind eye to massive financial ‘irregularities’ in Even children know who should pay for the recession the banking industry? Workers in the public service are told to suffer a €1.4 billion a right.

  • February 2020 Newsletter
    BlackrockNewsFeb2020 14/02/2020 16:19 Page 1 BLACKROCK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER February 2020 Dear Parents, The recently published “My World Survey 2” (MWS2), the national study of Youth Mental Health,reports that the number of young people drinking alcohol, being bullied in school and stressing about finances has dropped when compared to the findings in MWS1 (2012). It also reports that teenagers are now more likely to talk to their parents or ‘a special adult’, be it another relative, family friend or school counsellor about their mental health. Family, friends, school connectedness and attendance, physical activity and aspects of social media are confirmed as contributors to positive mental health and wellbeing. On the debit side, it is a concern that the levels of ‘protective factors’ related to mental health such as self-esteem, optimism and resilience have decreased. This is an excellent piece of research. However, it is a pity that it does not report on the positive influence that faith, the nurturing of the spirit, has on wellbeing. The recent Catholic Schools’ Week,“Living in Harmony with God’s Creation” challenged us to live in harmony with God, our Neighbours, all generations, with the earth and in our school. The emphasis is on harmony. “When you find peace within yourself, you can become the kind of person who can live at peace with others”. (Peace Pilgrim, Mildred Norman). In other words, in order to look outwards, we must first look inwards. Self-esteem, optimism and resilience will develop if we put before the boys a pathway to a purposeful and meaningful life through Gospel values.

  • Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)
    JONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745) Ian Campbell Ross Jonathan Swift is most famous as the author of Gulliver’s Travels (1726), the most widely read book ever written in Ireland or by an Irish writer. Never out of print since its first publication, translated into countless languages, read in innumerable editions and abridgements, made into films and cartoons (one starring Mickey Mouse), and the subject of impassioned arguments over nearly three centuries as to its essential morality or misanthropy, Gulliver’s Travels is nonetheless only a small part of Jonathan Swift’s writings, in verse and prose, produced over a period of more than fifty years, during which he served as a priest of the Protestant Church of Ireland, most notably as Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. His father, a lawyer, died before Jonathan’s birth, and his childhood was partly spent in the care of a nurse and most likely in the absence of both parents. Certainly, he boarded at Kilkenny College between the ages of six and fourteen, receiving the foundations of the classical humanist education reserved for boys of his social class. In 1682, Swift entered what was then Ireland’s only university, Trinity College Dublin, continuing his studies in Latin and Greek, adding Hebrew, and deepening his knowledge of Aristotelian philosophy. After four years, he graduated with the degree of B.A. ex speciali gratia—a term that Swift later glossed to imply that he had been a poor student but which most likely did not have the negative connotations Swift would later mischievously suggest.

  • Leinster Schools 1924
    Leinster Schools Athletics Champions 1924-2021 The origins of Leinster Inter-Schools Sports/Championships can be traced back to 1914 under the Dublin Schools League of the GAA. The Dublin Schools' League farmed out athletics events to be held with schools’ hurling/football championship finals. However, as GAA club names are given for winners it is not possible to identify schools. The Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) organised All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1916 and the GAA, All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1917. The IAAA did not organise Dublin The National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland (NACAI) was founded as the National Governing Body for athletics in July 1922 through the amalgamation of the IAAA and the Athletic Council of the GAA. The now titled “All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships” were inaugurated in 1923 under the NACAI. Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletics Championships were revived in 1924 and organised by the Co Dublin Board of NACAI through to 1930. The Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletic Union (DSAU), under the aegis of the NACAI, was founded at a meeting of representatives of schools and colleges in Jury’s Hotel on 18 October 1930 to take charge of the organisation of the (County) Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. The first Hon. President was Mr Patrick Lynch, Attorney General, and the inaugural Chairman, Rev A. Murphy (Castleknock). From 1930 through 1936 the DSAU ran the Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. At a meeting of the Dublin Schools’ Athletic Union in Jury’s Hotel on 3 March 1937 a motion to transform this Union into the Leinster Schools’ Athletic Union was passed unanimously.
