- Since 2017 -​​ JUNK KOUTURE

Both TY classes have begun preparations for this year's Junk Kouture competition. Junk Kouture will take place virtually this year.

However, it has become bigger and better than ever before as it is also going global!

This year, young students, from across 6 countries, will create designs in an effort to be crowned World Designer of the Year!!. In groups of no more than 3 students, participants must create a wearable design from materials that are entirely reusable and recyclable. Last year TY student Alannah Delaney made it as far as the All Ireland Semifinal with her design 'House of Cards'.

I'm sure this year's students would love to follow in her footsteps. Items that we are currently collecting include, old wires, bed sheets, coffee pods, plastic bottle caps and bubble wrap to name a few. We want to thank everyone who has donated so far thank you all for your help. Best of luck to the TY group of 2021!

Opinion Piece by Gwen Meekins Wellbeing and Me Teenagers Managing Stress Stress in teenagers, where to start. Teenagers are stressed a lot in this century. We have constant fear of what people think of us, worries about what people will say about us, how many likes a picture gets online, and much more. We also worry about what are parents think of us or how people view us.

May elderly people view groups of teenagers intimidating. School, exams life in general can be stressful to us and especially social media.

Many people are targeted for bullying online and most of the time it leads to kids becoming depressed or even suicide. We don’t understand what harm we could cause to people online. They don’t understand that if they call someone fat or ugly it could spark them mental health issues and sometimes physical health issues. It's hard to be perfect in this society nowadays. Also, with the group of friends you have, they could be a bad influence on you, or they can be very toxic and fake.

Now you don’t have to write or read to help you get into a good mindset. You can easily listen to music, watch a movie, or watch your favorite tv series, even do your favorite hobbies. You can go for a run or a walk or organize stuff in your room. You can do a lot of things.

If you're a member of the LQBTQ Community, if you support it, if you're bisexual, if you're gay, if you're transgender, you may be made fun of or criticised. It can be constant hatred in this century. We need to find a way to take a break from it for a while.

Whenever I feel stressed on something and need to have a day to myself, I do some different things. Sometimes I bake, go out with my friends or do free writing. Free writing is all about what your feeling or what you want to write without someone telling you a specific topic to write about. When I free write, I write about songs or books. It's like giving a book review or what your interpretation of the song is. you can get out of reality while you're writing.

It's always easy to write what your feeling because if you leave everything bottled up, you'll explode. If you write, you can say what's stressing you out, what's making you panicky inside or even if you write what your day was like because after your done writing you can easily throw it away, rip it up or you might want to keep it.

Even if you need to talk to someone you can tell a guardian, a parent or even a teacher you trust. Theres also numbers you can call or text to talk to.

Numbers you can call: •

Good samaritians-116 123

•

Childline-1800 66 66 66

•

50808-free text HELLO to 50808

No one's alone, we all need someone to talk to and need a day or two to ourselves. Don't pressure yourself into things you aren't comfortable in doing. And don’t change for people because they said you had to; you change for yourself if you want to do so, not for someone that pressured you.

Think before you speak or type online!!

You don’t know what's going on with people now in time.

Opinion Piece by Abbey Banville Book review of ‘The Hate U Give’ by Angie Thomas and its relevance to modern society.

In my TY English class, we are encouraged by our teacher to pick up at least one book, read it and give a review. As an avid reader myself, I didn’t feel daunted by the task.

The first book I decided to read for the start of year was ‘The Hate U Give’ by Angie Thomas. It is a No.1 New York bestseller for the year 2017. I had heard great reviews and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

From the first few pages I was hooked; this a sign of a great book.

The book is based upon a Black American girl named Starr and her life in two worlds; the poor black neighborhood where she was reared and the upper-class high school she attends. The balance she had accomplished between the two was destroyed when she had seen the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil by a white police officer. It gives a great description of the contemporary black experience in America.

The Black Lives Matter Movement has been a popular subject in the media this year after the death of George Floyd. I read a lot of BLM articles and signed every petition I saw but I had little knowledge of how white supremacy was seen from a black person’s perspective. That was until I read ‘The Hate U Give’.

The book give great detail on how a black person must act, how they are all stereotyped and presumed they are all thugs and how dangerous it can be if they speak out.

In the book Starr highlights Tupac’s message in which he warns: if we continue to bring up children in a negative environment, surrounded by racism, violence and oppression then the cycle will just continue.

One of the big themes in the book was finding your voice. Starr wanted justice for Khalil, but she knew how dangerous it would be for her and her family. She comes to the realization that sometimes you have to take a risk to help your community. One of the most important quotes in the book is “What’s the point in having a voice if you’re going to be be silent?”

This is unbelievably true; you’re never going to get what you want by staying quiet. Growing up in Ireland you were always hear the saying ‘Children should be seen and not heard’. But if were supposed to stay silent how are we going make the changes that we want to see in the world for our children and the future generations. Racism isn’t just in America its everywhere it may be in a different form but it’s still there. If the younger generation are brought up to believe that we should stay silent then how will we take action to end white supremacy and have a future where we can all thrive without the color of our skin being a factor.

To conclude, I highly recommend this book, it’s a page turner.

It was considered by Ty's to be a great way to start the school year, it was a great bonding exercise as a group, who doesn’t love a good burger?

The burgers were sourced from our local butchers and cooked by our wonderful chef and teacher Ms. Breen, with the assistance of Mr. O Connor and Ms. Holohan After a tasty lunch, the Ty's kicked back, relaxed and enjoyed the sun!

Junior Cert Cancelled

The school Transition year students did not have the opportunity to sit the Junior Certificate exams because of Covid-19. Some were delighted, some were disappointed that we didn’t get to show our hard work that we put in for the three years. It is very unfortunate that we missed the opportunity to do it. None of us could believe it, it was a strange time for all of us who went through the online schooling but the teachers had us prepared for our Junior Cert. When we left school in March, we had most of our curriculum completed and ready, it was just down to us to study before the cancellations.

Mountain Biking

On Friday, the 9th of October and Monday the 12th of October the TYs went mountain biking up Carrick Byrne Hill. We set off from the school at 9:30 when we arrived, we had to put on the gear which included a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. The first skills we learned were how to use the gears and breaks, we then sat down for lunch.

After our food had settled, we went for a long cycle around the hill. It was loads and everyone enjoyed.

TY YSI

Our T.Y Young Social Innovators class are highlighting an issue that is close to their hearts while tackling the sustainable development goals of Quality Education and No Poverty.

We are holding a fundraiser to raise much needed funds for The Hope Foundation on 20th November. We are organizing a Non-Uniform Day that will cost €2 and every student will also receive a Hope Butlers chocolate bar.

The Hope Foundation is a registered charity working with street and slum children in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. They work to free children and poor families from lives of pain, abuse, poverty and darkness.

Living on the streets, children are exposed to horrendous physical and sexual abuse. Those who survive are left to fend for themselves, with no promise of a safe future. They are forced to work from as young as five years of age to earn money for food and so cannot go to school. HOPE works to free them from child labor. HOPE funds and operates over 60 projects.

To date HOPE has helped over 2.8 million people. Our class have done extensive research on this foundation and will have a class talk online with a facilitator from The Hope Foundation. We are busy making posters, Kahoot and delivering class talks to highlight this cause with an effort to raise funds. Our aim is to sponsor a child and enable them to education, shelter and clothing. €250 will do this for one year. If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, please buy a Hope Butlers Chocolate bar for €2 or donate money. Any donations are to be given to Ms. Gorman, YSI coordinator, and bars can be purchased from the school or Ms. Gorman. All support is greatly appreciated!

Literacy Homelessness. What is homelessness?

Homelessness is an everyday situation in this world.

In this book it tells us the situation people live daily.

We don’t understand that some people can't get what we have because they don’t have the money, many people don’t have a roof under their head, many people can't get food, they can't afford it and they can't afford medical insurance. Families living in a bin bag or under cardboard. Tiny children, babies, elderly, families and even disabled are homeless and may people walk past them thinking they’re faking it. Many teenagers are homeless too because something could be happening at home and they can't report it. Many police don’t help homeless people. It explores thoroughly in this novel what some people go through on the streets. Stone cold is a book about homelessness.

The main character is Link. Link is a homeless, frightened and alone on the streets of London at the age of sixteen.

Link became homeless because his stepfather threw him out. Links real dad left when he was young and when his mother met Vince, she was happy, so he didn’t want to ruin her happiness, but Vince is very controlling toward his mother and Link. One day Link and Vince got into a fight and Vince slapped link. Vince is an abusive p erson, but links mother is too afraid to speak up. One day Link had enough so he left the house for a while and when he came back Vince wouldn’t let him into the house, so he became homeless. When he went to London, he spent his first two nights in a rented apartment until he got kicked out of his hotel. He was back on the streets, when he was about to sleep, he got mugged, they took his watch and the rest of Essay by Gwen Meekins his money.

He then met Ginger. Ginger was another homeless man and since link was a newbie and Ginger didn’t have much money, they both roamed the streets together. Ginger told Link that having a cigarette helps with hunger. One day when they both went out begging for money and had planned to meet after, but Ginger never came back.

When Ginger didn’t come back Link started getting worried and then many homeless people went missing. Shelter is another main character in this novel. Shelter claims he wants to help the homeless but what he does is he brings them back to his house gives them food water clothes, then kills them. When Link began to suspect him, Shelter knew he was going to target Link next. When Shelter met Link an d persuaded him to go to his house, Link started snooping around when shelter was “making” him food.

When Link had his back turned, Shelter thought that would be the best idea to knock him out. Shelter had a spot under his floorboards where he was hiding so he put Link down there too. When Link woke up, he started questioni ng Shelter until the police got Shelter.
