The 1Y poem
It all started in September, some may not remember. We all kept getting lost, we were all in exhaust. Then came October, our primary school days were over, we were all getting the hang of it, we finally began to commit. Then it was November, this we all remember Mr. Cowley completed movember, And Rayanna wrote a poem about December. In December third years went on ice, I'd say it was nice. Christmas holidays came, When we came back we wouldn't even remember everyone's names. January hit us like a truck, In no time we were back to the books. Positive mental health weeek took place, The beginning of the operation transformation race. And we ran it with grace. The it was February and it was Valentines Day, Soon it was Rayanna's b-day. The LCA's made goodie bags, The school shop soon was in rags. March was St. Paddy's Day, also came gabi's b- day, posters were on display, Everywhere on the the way. April was a flop. We all were dying for an ice pop The basketball team scored big as they visited the arena to play. May was quickly on the way, the exams came into play. School tours all around, this was our final round. June was the end, 2nd year is around the bend. Leaving cert graduationLast Thursday May 25, the Leaving Cert class of 2017 graduated. The graduates and their families along with teachers from St. Conleth's celebrated the 5 years that the students spent in secondary school.

The Girl that Never Gave Up By Chloe Geoghegan As the dew drop rain Falls on the window pane I lay in my bed and think To myself and say Is there a point in starting again. As night falls and everything Seems to crawl The creeping moon shines Upon my deepened faith. With every single tear I seem to fear whatever The new day will bring As morning begins The birds start to sing I can’t seem to find a reason For anything to believe in. As I look in the mirror And see no future I start to see what most people see. As I see me My thoughts disappear My angry, upsetting thoughts Just vanish. I stand there with a Smile that I have not Seen in a while, A smile that tells me I’m beautiful, courageous And powerful. As I, me, the girl I thought I lost, I knew I found her I found the girl who Could fight away enemies The girl who never gave up. Fight for Life By Melania Spronceana You may fight your friends, You may think you’re a dead end, You may look at yourself and see a mistake, You will always know what you can’t take, But I know you’re not a failure, You’re perfect in your own way, You will always look at someone a wish someday you’ll be like them, You say you’re okay, But the people you love will always know better, That you’re fighting for your life, struggling every day, You always wish that pain will go away, You do things to yourself that are unforgivable, But were wishing that you will be okay, Never give up just be your own superhero, You are perfect the way you are don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Okay By Precious Achonu Its okay not to be okay, Just talk to a friend and Then they’ll say, We’ve all been through Bad times and good, Maybe being bullied In your neighbourhood, Or just feeling insecure About yourself. Its all happened to us, It that helps. No negative thoughts allowed Just be yourself and they’ll be proud Of what you have become even If its from zero to square one. Be kind to your mind Think good thoughts and Then you’ll find Being you is just fine. 
The winners of the Positive Mental Health poster competition were:

DCU Basketball Player Visit
Students from the basketball teams in St. Conleth’s Community College were put through their paces at a special coaching session with premier league DCU Saints, (St. Vincents Basketball Club), players Duane Johnson (USA) and Pat Glover. The special session took place in the new gym facility at the school on Wednesday 24th February 2016 from 5 to 7pm.
Students had the opportunity to work on their three pointers, slam dunks and layups under the watchful eye of their DCU coaches. It was a fast paced session with all students participating in the action. Not only did the students get to train with Duane and Pat, they also got to see Duane in action. Duane who is from the USA, is currently playing with DCU Saints and has played in Australia and USA also. It was physical evening but the students never lost their momentum as they moved from, offence to defence, rebounds to relays and lay-ups to turn-overs.
Having put the students through their paces, Duane finished the session by delighting the small crowd by jumping over three students to perform a slam-dunk. DCU Saints Team Manager, Fintan Reilly, then presented Mr. Quille, the basketball coach and his players with T-shirts and water-bottles as momentums of the occasion. Mr. Quille, from St. Conleth’s said the students were extremely grateful for the time given by the DCU saints players and that the session was an ‘overwhelming success and will help improve and build on the solid skills the students have learned over the past two years’.
Students had the opportunity to work on their three pointers, slam dunks and layups under the watchful eye of their DCU coaches. It was a fast paced session with all students participating in the action. Not only did the students get to train with Duane and Pat, they also got to see Duane in action. Duane who is from the USA, is currently playing with DCU Saints and has played in Australia and USA also. It was physical evening but the students never lost their momentum as they moved from, offence to defence, rebounds to relays and lay-ups to turn-overs.
Having put the students through their paces, Duane finished the session by delighting the small crowd by jumping over three students to perform a slam-dunk.

Basketball players from St. Conleth's attend All Star Game
Taking time out from their mid term break holiday, a number of students travelled to DCU Sport's Campus to watch an All Star Basketball game. Accompanied by their basketball coach Mr. Quille, the students got the opportunity to view the game between DCU Saints and SSE Airtricity Moycullen Basketball Club.
The game which was neck and neck all the way through was thoroughly entertaining, with DCU taking the lead in the end, for their final home game of the season.
The students were welcomed to the arena by the commentator which the students couldn't believe. One of DCU's top players, Duane Johnson from America, came to meet the students after the game and give them some words of encouragement. He even posed for a photo, much to the student's delight.
