| Blessington Community College |

| Blessington Community College is a co-educational, multi-denominational post-primary school serving the needs of the community of Blessington in Co. Wicklow.
The college offers the full range of post-primary courses. We pride ourselves on the level of support and encouragement given to pupils of all abilities and we strive to help students identify and achieve their potential in terms of academics, sport, the arts and the other areas in which students may be talented.
An important aspect of this is ongoing monitoring of pupils performance and achievement and working with parents to ensure all students are given every possible opportunity to achieve all they are capable of.

| Transition Year Charity Day |

Well done to all the Transition Year students who organised and ran the Charity Day on Friday 20th May. The event was a great success and raised funds for the Irish Cancer Society, the Make a Wish Foundation and Down Syndrome Ireland. On the day the students had a cake sale, washed cars and had a 'Mad Hair' Day.
We would like to say a very special thanks to those businesses around Blessington who sponsored the event so generously: Dunnes Stores, Kenny's Supervalue, Maxol, Texaco and Centra.
