You are at the start of the next stage of your lives. Good luck from all of us in Collinstown.
On Friday 27th May our 109 Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate students graduated from Collinstown Park Community College.
At the morning Ceremony students were welcomed by their teachers, tutors and Year Head Ms Connolly. Subject and other awards were presented followed by a good breakfast! Students then planted trees to mark the occasion.

Finally Ms Connolly , the Year Head spoke summarising their six years in school and wishing all the students every success in the future
Third Year JCSP students had a graduation Ceremony on Monday 30th May where they were presented with their Certificates which displayed their achievements in the Program. Parents, teachers and the students themselves got a great boost before their Junior Certificate exams.
Like hundreds of schools around the country, Collinstown Park celebrated Proclamation Day. Fourth year students produced projects on various aspects of 1916 in conjunction with English and History teachers. These were displayed for the whole school in the Assembly Hall. First years studied the Proclamation and then wrote a 21st Century Proclamation. These are on display around the school.
The culmination of the day was the raising of the Tricolour alongside our school flag and our Green Flag.
On Friday 19th May, First, Second and Third students and their tutors and Year Heads went to Tayto Park in Ashbourne on a Positive Behaviour trip.
Students and teachers had a great time and it was judged as the highlight of the year by many students. The photos below show some of the attractions.
Sixth year students with their Leaving Certificate teachers went to Wicklow for their Study trip. This is part of their Leaving Certificate program and the project forms some of the overall marks in their Leaving Certificate Geography course. No student fell into the river although some got very wet. A great day was had by all.
As part of the First Year Creative Writing Week there was a poetry competition and a quiz. A photo of the winners is displayed above.
The fifth year LCVP students visited the Glanmore Foods factory on Monday 7th March. Glanmore supply all our school lunches and school lunches to many schools around the country. The trip was organised by a committee from the LCVP classes.
Students found the trip very interesting and they have a heightened appreciation of all the work and care that goes into making their lunches. The students are preparing a Summary report on their visit which forms part of their Leaving Certificate portfolio.
