Tánaiste Micheál Martin was very impressed with Ava Scarlett's project today at the BT Young Scientist competition.
Pictured here are our wonderful Fourth Years that were helping out at Cara House.
A very pleasant few hours were had by all.
SCS is delighted to be associated with Áine Minihane and her hardworking team.
Ava Scarlett who is a transition year student is competing in the ‘Intermediate Individual Biological and Ecological Sciences’ category.
Her project is titled: Constructing a Microbial Fuel Cell to Investigate the Electrical Power Output of Copious Organic Waste Samples.
On the first day, she set up her stand and underwent the first of 3 rounds of judging.
Best of luck Ava over the next few days!
On Tuesday 10th of January the school were delighted to welcome Sandra Flynn from Skibbereen Tidy Towns committee. She spoke of her role in Skibbereen of promoting a Walkability Study for Skibbereen. She also promoted her work on food wastage in Skibbereen.
Thanks to Ms. Órla O’Sullivan and Ms. Deirdre Hennigan for organising.
SCS are delighted to say 2023 started off with a bang with Cara House.
When our students went in, they were introduced to Áine Minihane who was very helpful and welcoming to them as always.
They went around serving teas, coffees, and scones to the different tables and chatted with the elderly people as well. Next, they were sent off to collect messages for them, which they really enjoyed as they felt they were helping to give back to the community in a small way, but it means a lot to all the elderly people.
At 1 o'clock they served everyone their soup and dinner, followed by cake to celebrate one member of Cara House Luncheon Club's 80th Birthday. They lit candles on the cake and sang a big happy birthday!
Even though they were only there for two and a half hours, they all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, everybody was so lovely.
They would all like to volunteer like this on a regular basis as they feel small things like these can make a huge difference to the members of Cara House Luncheon Club. They felt that they learned loads from this experience.

Our LRC celebrated Christmas with a get together of students, staff and parents yesterday. The room was awash with Christmas Colour and there were lots of tables of food. Many thanks to the Students for all their efforts in hosting the event. Many thanks to the LRC Team for their trojan work throughout the year and many thanks to all the Parents who came to visit. Thanks also to the Home Ec Dept. for their help. Happy Christmas to one and all!
Well done to our 4th years for singing their hearts out recently in Cara House, the Bank of Ireland, the nursing home in Baltimore Road and of course SCS.
Composed mainly of all males, they were very organised, knowing better to include some females and that “behind every good male is an even better female”.
They have a natural ability to sing but have now gone from being self-trained singers to be known as “The Singers” in SCS. In fact they make it look easy with practical advice to offer such as “All you need are the lyrics printed off from Margaret in the office and just sing!” It doesn’t get any easier than that they reassure everyone.
More famous up to now for their football skills on the pitch, the prospect of an All Ireland in the near future is not daunting.. they are going to win that anyway. Interestingly it was performing in front of their peers that was considered more daunting!
Full of festive fun they have a loyal fan base now and on request they can sing anything from ‘Last Christmas’ to ‘Rocking Around the Christmas Tree’.
The school is immensely proud of this new group and we can’t wait to hear about their next touring dates of 2023.
Thanks to their TY Co ordinator Ms. Gretta Burchill for organising and their 4th year Religion teachers too. One Direction watch out!
The School Community would like to wish all our Students, Staff, Parents and all in our Community a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas. Our 1st, 2nd and TY students get their holidays on Tuesday, Dec 20th at 3.50pm and our 3rd, 5th and 6th Years finish on Wednesday, Dec 21st at 1.10pm. School reopens on Thursday, Jan 5th.
Pictured is Brian and Mr. O Mahony officially turning on the School’s Christmas Lights! Well done to everyone for creating such an atmosphere with their singing, wearing their Christmas Jumpers and eating Christmas Dinner together. Many thanks to the Wellbeing Committee, the LRC Dept, the RE Dept. for all their efforts and to Ms. Orla O Sullivan for organising a very successful Festivities Day. We also wish to acknowledge the work of Mr. Peter Lynch, our Christmas Jumper and Christmas Door Judge.
