Last Monday Belmayne ETSS played a league match in the last 16 with unfortunate results.

Belmayne ETSS boys football team lost 5-1 in its most recent match, while not the result that some were hoping for, we can assure you that 100% was given by all players who participated in the match.

Shout out to Jack Winkless for scoring the Penalty and overall outstanding performance. Some complaints about foul play but through the whole match the boys did not show a glimmer of surrender. With this enthusiasm we are sure that the boys will do phenomenally in future league games.

Today the first years took part in the Digital Leadership programme provided by Maynooth University during their business classes. They learned about the nature of coding and how to code a micro:bit.

On Monday students from all years participated in Sci fest, showcasing their projects to judges. This year the theme was sports science. The students had to conduct an experiment for their project and put the results and research onto their poster. Emma the main organiser of sci fest said…”All of the projects were brilliant and showed such a great understanding of the scientific method.” The judges commended all groups on their enthusiasm for their chosen topics and creative posters and presentations ”All winning projects have been entered into Scifest@College and will compete against projects by students from schools all around Dublin”. 

Today our second year girls played a great match against The Donahies. The final score was 26 to Belmayne and 10 to The Donahies. Both the 1st and 2nd year girls played great and well done to our girls basketball team for representing the school.

The second year boys basketball team recorded an emphatic win against Clougher Community college from Crumlin. The boys and coach were confidant as they had a lot of their squad back following injury and covid lay-offs but they couldn’t have predicted how the match would turn out.

A resounding 30-17 victory was the final result due to star performances from many including Dane who scored 18 points, and Vinayak who could miss with a succession of tricky 2 point shots. It’s on to the next opponent for the lads.

Well done to our GAA team who lost to an excellent Colaiste Ghlor na Mara team in Balbriggan today. Super work to keep fighting to the end and congratulations to Dylan, Josh, Harry and Kale for registering scores for Belmayne ETSS. – Daniel

Today, Tuesday 1 of March 2022, new shelters were built in the school for students to sit out
and eat their lunch without worrying about weather. The canopies are great, protection from the rain and wind and maybe even the possibility of more outdoor classes as the weather grows better. – Sophie Timmins

Many thanks from the entire school community to the parents council for coming in on Monday and providing us with a hot lunch – PIZZA!!

Many students commented how kind it was of the parents council and it was clear that everyone really appreciated the gesture

This CSPE class, on Monday 7/2/22, to mark World Safer internet Day 2022, students learned about the dangers of the Internet and how to stay safe online. This is a very important topic, it is necessary to educate young people on how to safely access sites for school work and spare time.

They students also learned a bit about their own internet habits and their digital wellbeing every day during our tutor time activities.  – Morgana

On Tuesday, 1st and 2nd year boys basketball teams beat Cabra 26-4 and 26-10 respectively in a pair of landslide victories.

According to one player “At one point it was fifteen nil so we started doing trick shots and all”. It’s also believed one Belmayner scored a half-court.
