Eclipsed Play
Sixth year students viewed a streamed production of Patricia Burke-Brogan’s poignant and moving play Eclipsed presented by dlr Mill Theatre. Borrisokane CC have supported dlr Mill Theatre in the past and we were delighted to be able to support them during this difficult period for the Performing Arts. Eclipsed is an award winning play set in a Magdalene laundry during the 1960s. The play highlights the plight of four women who struggled to bear the austerity of their existence and their desire to break the shackles of societal repression.
Time Capsule
At Borrisokane Community College our Transition Year students are embarking on an exciting journey through History. They have set up a committee to create a Time Capsule that will be buried in December 2020 to mark this milestone year. We would love if the wider community would get involved in this project and add belongings to the Time Capsule. You can contact the school for more information.
Maths Week 2020
Borrisokane Community Maths Department organised many activities during the past week to mark Maths Week. Each Morning a five-minute Brain Teaser was emailed to everyone in the school. There was great anticipation each day to figure these out. First years learned how to make clinometers and then learned how to use them to measure the angles of buildings. Fifth years learned all about STEAM while making paper aeroplanes and also learned about distance speed and time. Third years took part in a Fun Maths Quiz, and also took part in Manga High Quiz. Transition Years were involved in ‘Research a Mathematician’ and presented their findings to their class. It was a great week promoting Maths and thank you to all those who got involved.
