1st Year GAA Blitz
Our TY Future Leaders Class organised a Gaelic Blitz for our first year students. A fantastic display of skill, tacking, goal keeping and scoring was shown throughout. Tyrone and Dublin were the two teams to compete in the cup final. The final came right down to the wire, well done to Dublin who came out on top after a penalty shoot out.
A huge thank you to our Future Leaders who organised the competition. The referees, managers, first aid, umpires and coordinators all displayed great leadership skills. A fantastic afternoon was had by all.

Tribute to Kiea McCann and Dlava Mohamed
Largy College has paid tribute to students Dlava Mohamed and Kiea McCann.
Dlava Mohamed Dlava was a student who would always have a warm smile and a gentle hello when she met you on the school corridor. Dlava's determination shone through in everything she did. She was hard working and resilient. She had settled in so well to the Clones area and the Largy College community and was an integral part of our Third Year group. Dlava was a very moral young girl who had a strong sense of right and wrong and the courage of her convictions to express these. Dlava was a gorgeous soul who radiated goodness. She expressed such love and devotion to her beloved family. Dlava showed great loyalty and compassion to her circle of friends and was someone they could rely on as a true confidant. Dlava would have been going into Transition Year in September and was looking forward with excitement to all that was involved in this. The Largy College school community is devastated by the tragic realisation that we will never witness the incredible potential of the amazing young woman she was destined to become, given her kind spirit and abundance of promise. May she Rest in Peace. |

Kiea McCann Kiea was frequently described as simply a lovely student to teach. Throughout her years attending Largy College she was always pleasant and courteous to her teachers and fellow students. Kiea was a friendly, kind and warm-hearted girl, who always demonstrated a willingness to support others. She was never afraid to give up her time to help her peers. This innate loyalty made her a very popular classmate. Kiea was a hardworking student and always worked to the best of her ability. She had a caring nature and possessed a love for children Kiea held family in the highest regard; she was a deeply family-oriented girl, adored by everyone. Kiea was looking forward to embarking on third level studies in Childcare at Cavan Institute, having completed her work experience in a local creche. The Largy College school community is heartbroken by the loss of Kiea, a lovely girl with immense potential and zest for life. It is truly heartbreaking that she will never get to see her dreams come true. The sadness is profound and deeply felt. May she Rest in Peace. Largy College will open a book of condolences for Keia and Dlava on Friday 04 August at the school from 9am - 1pm. |

School Transport Scheme Update
Please see an update below in respect of the School Transport Scheme, which contains important information on closing dates and temporary closure of the Bus Éireann Family Portal.
Information for families regarding School Transport Payment
Process for 2023/24 School Year
Payments/Medical Card Details
Payment/child’s medical card details for all pupils who wish to be considered for the allocation of a ticket for the 2023/24 school year must be submitted before 9 June 2023 On buseireann.ie/schooltransport. After this date, this will be a late payment and tickets are not guaranteed to eligible pupils.
Bus Éireann Family Portal Closure
Please note the Bus Éireann family portal will close for all applications and payments for a period of 3 weeks from 9 June 2023 to 30 June 2023 and it will not be possible to make a late application, or make a delayed payment or delayed entry of medical card details until the family portal reopens.
This is necessary so that Bus Éireann can process applications, arrange transport and to assess all applications and determine whether they are eligible or concessionary and to include Temporary Alleviation Measures (TAMS) as soon as possible for the 2023/24 school year. Bus Éireann plans to issue all eligible tickets from July.
Tickets will be issued to eligible students who have applied and paid/entered medical card details on time. After this allocation is complete, where seats are available, concessionary tickets will be issued.
Any application made after 28 April 2023, or any payment/medical card details submitted after 9 June 2023 will be late. Where this happens, eligible students are not guaranteed a ticket.
Bus Éireann has put in place a dedicated customer care call centre and a Contact Form on buseireann.ie/schooltransport to assist families specifically with School Transport queries during the busy summer period. Families that have queries can contact the call centre on: LoCall 0818 919 910. Operating hours are 09.00 – 17.00 Monday to Friday
If families have queries relating to transport for children with special educational needs) please contact School Transport Section, Department of Education at:
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Phone: 057 9325469 or 057 9325466
Payments/Medical Cards
It is important to ensure that payments/child’s medical card details are submitted for new applicants and also for pupils who have previously applied/availed of school transport and require a seat on a service for the 23/24 school year.
Children (who are eligible for school transport) with valid medical cards (GMS Scheme) are exempt from paying the annual charge, however their medical card details must be submitted before 9 June 2023.
Families are strongly urged to make sure that they pay/enter child’s medical card details on time. Late applications made after 28th April 2023, or late payment after 9 June 2023 may mean that a ticket is not available.
To make your payment or enter your child's medical card details, go to buseireann.ie/schooltransport by Friday 9 June.
The Annual Charge for School Transport Services for the 2023/24 school year is set out below:
Category of pupil
|
Annual Charge |
Primary Eligible/ Concessionary pupil |
€50 |
Post primary Eligible/ Concessionary pupil |
€75 |
Maximum annual charge for families |
€125 |
Eligibility
Children are eligible for transport at primary level where they reside not less than 3.2 kilometres from and are attending their nearest national school, and at post-primary level where they reside not less than 4.8 kilometres from and are attending their nearest post-primary school/education centre as determined by the Department/Bus Éireann, having regard to ethos and language.
- Children who are eligible for school transport and who have completed the application and payment process on time will be accommodated on school transport services where such services are in operation.
- Children who are not eligible for school transport, but who complete the application and payment process on time, will be considered for spare seats that may exist after eligible children have been facilitated; such seats are referred to as concessionary seats.
- Because of the nature of concessionary transport for non-eligible children and the priority of providing places for eligible children, there may be an excess of demand over supply for concessionary places, in these cases Bus Éireann will allocate tickets for spare seats using an agreed selection process.
- In addition, temporary alleviation measures will continue for the 2023/24 school year, pending completion of the school transport scheme review and this means that transport will be provided, where such services are in operation, for post-primary pupils who are eligible for transport to their nearest school and are attending their second nearest school/ post-primary centre and who apply and pay on time.
Pupils from Ukraine
Pupils from Ukraine who require school transport should not apply on the Bus Éireann family portal but should visit gov.ie/ukraine for details on how to apply. Please note that any pupils from Ukraine who are currently on school transport do not need to re-apply for the 2023/24 school year unless they have changed address or school.

Scifest National Final 2022
Congratulations to 2nd year students, Dara Courtney, Sean Clerkin & Joshua Brandon who received their excellence in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Award for their project “A Four Seasons Photovoltaic Self-Charging Rover – the Mars PSR”. The project generated plenty of interest on the day from the judges, the general public and Richard Bruton, TD.
The students have been working on the Mars PSR for months and started by designing and making a protype using equipment found at home or in the lab. Then the second prototype design was completed on Solidworks. For the National Final Sean decided to impress the judges more by learning how to use a new CAD programme called Onshape to design the 3rd prototype of the Mars PSR. They decided to use solar cells on this design. Solar energy is often used to power space missions because it is the only source of energy that does not need to be launched with the spacecraft and can power the spacecraft for several years. Joshua ensured that the solar cells were working to power the PSR.
While relying on solar panels may seem risky in such a dusty environment on Mars but doing so lessens the amount of mass at launch, lowering cost and complication for the mission and therefore they decided to use solar cells, Joshua ensured they were wired up properly in order to function. It was decided that they needed to make some type of a vacuum system that would blow off the dust that clogs around the moving parts. NASA have had limited success themselves with this idea, but the students wanted to try something anyway and Dara made various protypes of hoover systems that could attach to a Mars Rover. The first two prototypes were designed to suck the dust from the Rover but the 3rd prototype for the final was reconstructed so that it would blow the dust from the solar panels. The finished design also included a microbit to take temperature, light intensity readings and a compass.
The project had already won the ‘ESERO Discover Space Award’ and ‘Scifest 2022 Runner-Up Best Project Award’ in Dundalk I.T back in April, when they were only in 1st year, which was a remarkablet. achievement.

Largy College Science Week 2022
Largy College Science Week 2022
For Science week the 1st year students completed a project based on one of the new Junior Cycle Learning Outcomes: ‘Students should be able to design, build and test a device that transforms energy from one form to another in order to perform a function; describe the energy changes and ways of improving efficiency’. The projects were of an excellent standard. The winners from each class were presented with their trophies and the overall winner was presented with the perpetual shield. There was also a quiz for 1st years in their classes and various other activities with prizes given for all.
The 2nd year students completed a project based on one of the new Junior Cycle Learning Outcomes also: ‘Students should be able to develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe predictable phenomena observable on Earth, including seasons, lunar phases, and eclipses of the sun and moon’. The projects were of an excellent standard with all students in the year producing finished pieces. The winners from each class and overall winners were presented with their trophies. There was also a quiz for 2nd years in their classes and various other activities with prizes given for all. Congratulations to all the winners of the quizzes –

Scratch 2022 National Final WInner
Congratulations to Ciara Clerkin who won the 4th to 6th year category of the National Final of Scratch 2022 organised by the Irish Computer Society (ICS) which took place on Wednesday 18th May in the Computer Science Building of the University of Limerick.
Scratch is a visual programming language that encourages the development of essential coding skills through fun and interactive learning. It challenges students to create stories, games and animations using software. It encourages innovation and creativity while giving them a taste of possible future careers in the growing IT sector. Ciara made an educational game called Lieutenant Leek. This is a game that can be used by teachers and parents when trying to encourage healthy eating from the food pyramid with children. You play as Lieutenant Leek, a leek whose goal is to reach the top of the food pyramid to put a stop to the sugary foes wreaking havoc across the food pyramid. Each level is based on each stage of the food pyramid, which Leek needs to collect the daily requirements for. Sugar cubes block his path, he must knock them off the stage by shooting tomatoes at them to proceed!
Ciara was delighted with her win, “I plan to go to college next year to study computing and games development so I would like to express my gratitude to the The Irish Computer Society and Lero for running and sponsoring this competition because it has further inspired me to keep studying in the last few weeks of 6th Year towards my goal and it has encouraged me to make more games!”.
Ciara was interviewed by two Scratch judges about her project, and she had to be prepared to answer questions about her game. Ciara’s game generated great interest from other students at the competition and she had queues waiting to play it on the day which would have impressed the judges too! Congratulations Ciara, this was a remarkable achievement, and we wish you the best of luck as you prepare for your Leaving Cert exams in a few weeks’ time.
Cuilcagh Boardwalk and Marble Arch Caves
TY Students enjoyed an adventurous day exploring the Marble Arch Caves. The amazing underground limestones caves in the Marble Arch Global Geopark are made from 330-million-year-old limestone and have several water reserves and rivers running through them. Scientists have explained this network of caves as a natural passage created when water dissolved the soft limestone rock of Fermanagh, from the Owenbrean, Aghinrawn and Shruh Croppa rivers of Ireland. This process also created stalactites and stalagmites within the caves; cone shaped rocks that have taken millions of years to form. For our TY Geography students this brought their studies of Limestone and Carbonation to life. Our students completed the afternoon with a hike of Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail, also nicknamed the Stairway to Heaven Walk which is located in Co. Fermanagh. The route meanders through one of the largest expanses of blanket bog in Northern Ireland, traversing over tracks, boardwalk and staircase. A steep climb is required to reach the viewing platform on Cuilcagh Mountain which provides breath taking views of the surrounding low lands. All students felt a great sense of achievement and enjoyment with the completion of the day’s activities.

2022 Dragon Den
Our TY students had the opportunity to showcase their enterprise talent in a Dragons Den Competition held in school. Students had to submit a business plan for their company and on the day present a power point presentation to the judges. Following the pitch, the Dragons had the opportunity to question the entrepreneurs on all aspects of their business before deciding which company they would like to invest in.
The judging panel comprised of Lisa Nolan from Aslan Business Coaching, Emmet Colleran of Colleran Accountants, Mark McArdle from McArdle Office Supplies, Shane O’Connor from Eldron Property & Adrian Kelly qualified solicitor and business coach.
First prize, a laptop, was won by Holly Agnew. Her company Sweet Sensations sells quality baking mixes. The product is a delicious bake at home Brownie-Mix, handmade and presented in a 0.5 litre glass jar. It makes for a wonderful gift for both adults and children alike and can be personalised to suit the customer's specific needs. Each jar comes with specified ingredient quantities and easy-to-follow instructions to ensure a successful experience.
Rachel Cooper and Niamh Crawley came second and won a tablet for their company Cozy Hats. This innovative company makes heatable hats that contain heat bags made from rivet wheat grains to keep the head and ears warm throughout the day and has a lavender scent that is used to reduce anxiety.
Rebecca Murphy also won a tablet when she was placed in third place for her company OakCrafts which specialises in producing handmade wood burned pieces of work and quality pet portraits using graphite pencils. Both the sketches and the wood have a varnish finish. Customers can request designs and/or quotes to be burned onto a piece of wood. The sketches are also done by request of a customer and will have a varnish finish with a frame included
Well done to our prize winners but also to the other 6 companies that competed. The standard was exceptionally high and as a result all 9 companies were awarded with gift vouchers to celebrate their hard work and participation.
Also Congratulations to Holly Agnew & Rebecca Murphy who both also won awards at the Student Enterprise Awards Monaghan.
