Blessington Community College

BCC parents council and student environmental council supported by Wicklow County Council and Change Clothes are holding a uniform swap on June 26th.
One item donated gets you one token which allows early access to the swap. Donations must be dropped off during times listed

We would like to wish all students, especially our 3rd and 6th Year students the very best of luck in their State Examinations. You have all the hard work done now, so just do your best. Remember, what's for you won't pass you by.

🎉 HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! 🎉

Parents, don’t ditch those old uniforms just yet! 👕👗

The Parents’ Council is planning a Uniform Swap for late June, right after exams finish. We will share the exact date and details here very soon.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a wonderful summer! ☀️🏖️

First-year students Sadie Webb, Caoimhe, and Caitlin Schofield are pictured alongside their soccer coaches, Ms Vesey and Mr Coogan, with the Brian McCabe Cup following a fantastic victory for the U13 Blessington FC team. The girls helped secure an impressive 5–2 win over Tyrellstown FC.

Well done to all involved on a brilliant achievement!

Book Returns

All 3rd and 6th year books should be returned on completion of their exams. There will be a designated table set up in the concourse where students can return books. Workbooks or any books that students write in should not be returned. It is very important that book rental books are returned to the school and we will follow up on any outstanding books.

1st, 2nd and 5th Year students do not hand back their books but must clear out their lockers before the end of school tomorrow.

DARE (Disability Access Route to Education), is having a review and is looking for opinions of all stakeholders. This includes current or past parents and students who have applied to DARE or who maybe wanted to apply but were not able to, e.g. not having the correct paperwork.

Representatives from BCC Student Environmental Council along with Ms Troy, joined student colleagues from Scoil Chonglais Baltinglass in visiting the Dáil this morning. Invited by TD Jennifer Whitmore following their youth summit in March, they brought the concerns of West Wicklow students, the most pressing being public transport, the lack thereof in West Wicklow and the impact it has on daily life and opportunities for students to study and work as well as reduce carbon from car travel.
Thank you to Jennifer Whitmore TD for the invitation and to Ms Troy for accompanying our student representatives.
