News from around the Schools & Centres KWETB Coláiste Chill Mhantáin This eye-catching sculpture now frames the main entrance into our school. This impressive sculpture which was installed in October gleaned its inspiration from our school crest and the maritime links of Wicklow. The notion of the sculpture erupting from the ground symbolises energy and rejuvenation. The sculpture allows members of our school community to interact with the piece by walking through it, touching it and passing it. This interaction with the sculpture echoes the sense of journey and passage that the students are going through. During the construction of the sculpture, which is made of bronze, a group of Second Year students carefully monitored and tutored by Transition Year students designed a relief pattern in plaster which was transferred onto the surface of the sculpture. The students worked in close tandem with Maree Hensey and Mark Ryan, two professional sculpting artists who oversaw the project and sculpted the final piece. The Board of Management would like to thank everyone involved in this process and they are delighted with the finished product and its impact on the landscape of the school. Athy College Athy College has just completed the installation of its outdoor gym. This will add greatly to the facilities on the college campus available to students, teachers and parents.
