Tipperary students enjoy working with comedian Bernard Casey in comedy workshop

Great fun was had over the last few weeks by Transition Year students in Cloáiste Dún Iascaigh.

Firstly, as part of  Colaiste Dun Iascaigh Cahir Culture Week, comedian Bernard Casey paid a visit to  Tipperary to do a Comedy Workshop with the TY class where there were many laughs had. 

Then it was on to the Waterford Greenway where TY enjoyed a lovely hike with fantastic views and lots of fresh air.

In sport Coláiste Dún Iascaigh Cahir Senior Soccer Team had a good win over Patrician Secondary School Fethard in the Dick Lowney Tipperary Senior Cup and

Brian Hurley, Leigh Murphy, Josh Davey, Filip Miklaszewski, Shane Ryan, Luke Morrissey and Daniels Lakis were all on the score sheet for CDI. Well done to the lads who progress to the quarter final stages next.

Well done also to Coláiste Dún Iascaigh Cahir U17 hurlers who had a good win last week against Cashel. Coláiste Dún Iascaigh is most grateful to all sponsors and thanks Shane Ferris and company Cobots.ie who recently sponsored a new set of JAKO Ireland jerseys for the Coláiste Dún Iascaigh Cahir Junior Girls Soccer Team.

Coláiste Dún Iascaigh Cahir students were delighted to host a group of Argentinean students from Buenos Aires recently too. The students are in Ireland on a language exchange. It was a wonderful exchange experience with students from the Coláiste Spanish classes learning about Argentina, its culture and cuisine, while also learning traditional Argentinian dance. The visitors also heard some Trad music, learned some Irish dancing and watched a hurling match as our U17 Boys team took on Cashel at the Coláiste.

Last week the Garda Band played in the school as part of Coláiste Dún Iascaigh Cahir Culture Week.  We were privileged to have the band with us and they were super, thank you so much for taking the time to play for us. Coláiste Dún Iascaigh Cahir was delighted to also welcome Bunscoil na Cathrach teacher and local historian PJ O'Meara of Cahir Social & Historical Society to the school. PJ gave a fascinating talk to our students on the Civil War in the Cahir area as part of culture week.
