Festive Feeling in M.C.S

Christmas Time is coming here in M.C.S, and this week students and staff are eager to find ways for festive season activities.

1st year students have been busy helping Tony with the Christmas Tree, Ms Kelleher’s Home Economics classes have been hard at work making Christmas cookies, and practical rooms are as busy as Santa’s Workshop creating fantastically festive decorations.

Senior Football

Well done to the Senior footballers who defeated Deer Park of Rochestown in the Munster championship last week. Well done to the lads, who put in a solid performance during a hard fought encounter. They now move on to the semi-final stage in defence of their title from last year.

M.C.S. Welcomes Kilcorney N.S.

Students from Kilcorney National School were invited to M.C.S on Wednesday as part of the Science Week schedule of events. The pupils and their Teachers got to experience our Science and Technology departments where they had a fun filled day of learning and activities. They got to try some hands on science experiments with state of the art laboratory equipment as well experiencing live action 3D printing in the Engineering room where they also got the chance to experience the world of Robotics and automation with resident robot J.D.

Well done the all the pupils of Kilcorney and of course to our own fifth year students for their help and engagement on the day.

5th Years Travel to U.C.C

For Annual Human Rights Conference

This was the third annual Human Rights Conference organised by Cork Educate Together Secondary School in conjunction with UCC School of Applied Social Studies. For the second year MCS was invited to be involved and we sent a group of 5th year students to participate. They attended workshops which included: ‘Using Art And Creativity To Address Inequalities’ and ‘Addressing Economic Injustices’. All the students came away from the day with some new perspectives on justice issues.
