Schloss Schönnbrunn in Wien / Vienna

Ms Campbell's  Leaving Certificate German class had the opportunity to go on a School Tour to Vienna in Austria.

The group had a very full and hectic schedule including attending school in our Partner school the Wiedner Gymnasium, doing an organised tour of the UN, a Tour of the famous Ringstrasse with Gerda, a vienese history teacher, visitng Schloss Belvedere to see Klimt and  Schiele paintings as well as exploring the the Naschmarkt ,Kärntnerstrasse, St Stephens Cathedral and Mariahilferstrasse. The class also ate Wienerschnitzel in the Zwölfapostellkeller and Apfelstrüdel in Schloss Schönnbrunn. To finish the weekend the whole group attended the Raimund Theater to see the highly acclaimed Schikaneader musical. Congratulations to our CBS boys who were commended on their excellent behaviour on both Aer Lingus flights and our Partner school.

Ploughing Trip by Darragh Cuddihy

We started our day by meeting at the grotto at 7am. We met little traffic on the way so were there quicker than we had thought. Parking took a little time though but it was the first day. We were given our tickets and headed in the gates. We split up into groups and went to explore the huge site. There was a lot to see such as the sheepdog trials, stalls, livestock and of course the ploughing itself. There’s usually lots of freebies but not so much this year. We met back around 3.30pm at the bus and stopped for food on the way home. All in all I’d give the day and experience 8 out of 10. I’d deduct 2 points owing to lack of freebies and we didn’t get into some of the machinery. The majority of points are for the livestock- there was plenty of variety and it was very interesting.

Today we celebrated European Language Day in our school. We did a Quiz with the senior classes which informed them of the many styles of languages across the world and even the types of languages available to learn. In the younger classes we did a taster class of the different types for european foods available in ALdi to buy. For example salamis from Spain Italy and Germany as well as cheeses from Bavaria and the Netherlands. The lads all tried the famous Rye bread that is typical German and Croissants from France. Haribo Gummibears finished the tasting which left everyone very sweet!  :}

Cispheil

Ar an naoú lá de Bhealtaine, d’imir an fhoireann cispheile in aghaidh na gairmscoile, Inis Díomáin agus Naomh Sheosamh, Rinn na Spáinneach. Bhí an t-atmaisféar leictreach sa halla in Inis Díomáin agus thosaigh an chéad cluiche ar a deich a chlog. Bhíomar ag imirt in aghaidh na gairmscoile. Bhí na foirne ar chomhscór don fhormhór den chluiche agus ag an deireadh, bhí an scór 22-22. Chuaigh an cluiche go ham breise agus tar éis trí nóiméad eile, bhuaigh Meánscoil na mBráithre 28-26. Sa cluiche seo d’imir Cian Fahy, Evan Flanagan, Mikey Rynne, Patrick Sheridan, Donnacha Farrell agus Eoin Bermingham go han mhaith ar fad.

Sa dara cluiche, d’imir an ghairmscoil in aghaidh Rinn na Spáinneach agus bhuaigh Rinn na Spáinneach an cluiche seo.

Tar éis an briseadh seo, bhí seans ag ár bhfoireann chun imirt in aghaidh Rinn na Spáinne. Thosaíomar go maith sa cluiche seo ach bhí cúpla imreoir den scoth ag an gcéile comhraic agus bhí siad cúpla pointe chun tosaigh ag leath ama. Rinne na buachaillí ó Mheánscoil na mBráithre an-iarracht sa dra leath ach bhí níos mó taithí ag Rinn na Spáinneach agus sa deireadh bhuaigh siad an cluiche ar scór 28-22. Sa cluiche seo, bhí Jack Healy, Caimin O’Looney, Ben Whelehan, Ian Cahill, Seán McGeary agus Robert McDonnell na himreoirí a d’imir as a gcraiceann.

Bhain na daltaí go léir an-taitneamh as an lá. Bhí sé an chéad uair a d’imir roinnt de na buachaillí cluiche cispheile agus bhí siad go léir ar fheabhas. Míle buíochas freisin do James Leigh, Ross Clair, Shane Vaughan agus Corrán Breathnach as an idirbhliain a thug cabhair agus treoracha do na daltaí ar an lá.

Maith sibh go léir
