Confey College
Five third-year students from Confey College with their teacher
Ms G. Huang participated in the 2014 Winter Camp in Beijing.
These students have been studying Chinese for three years as
an option for Junior Certificate. Students from around the world
attended Chinese language and cultural classes. Highlights of
the trip were the major historical sites in Beijing. This initiative is
sponsored by the Confucius Centre in UCC.

Ardscoil Rath Iomghain

Ardscoil Rath Iomghain won a pulsating game of
basketball in the All-Ireland Senior A Boys Final on
the 19th January. Having trailed for most of the game
including 52:26 in the third quarter they put on a fantastic
show in the last quarter to take the lead for the first time
with two minutes to go. There was further drama when
St. Eunan’s scored a three pointer to leave Rathangan
trailing by one with thirty seconds to go but they dug
deep again and eventually emerged victorious. It was the
culmination of six years hard work by the team and Ms
Nerney and they were a huge credit to the whole school
and the many supporters who attended.

Score:
Ardscoil Rath Iomghain 70 : St. Eunans 67
