As part of the transition year Irish programme the T.Y. 2 class performed an Irish play go huile is go hiomlán as gaelige!
The play – Snow White and The Seven Dwarves was a great success. When we were first told we would perform a play in Irish we weren’t very optimistic to say the least! But with a bit of work we pulled it off. We decided to put a modern twist on the beloved fairytale and took it into our own hands to write the play.
We did the play as a way of promoting the Irish language and culture in the school. We performed the play for 1st and 2nd years and they all enjoyed it. We charged each student €2 and donated the proceeds to the victims of Haiti.
We all had great fun while rehearsing for the play as well as learning the auld cúpla focal!

The Green Schools Committee of Hazelwood College recently held a very successful Green Day as part of their quest for a green flag for the school. The Green Day was a day of action where all the students in the school got involved. The aim of the day was for each department in the school to contribute a project which incorporated the theme of recycling or helped the environment. We hoped that after the day students may be more aware of the little things that can be done to help our environment.
Each department did a fabulous job at coming up with ideas for the day. To name but a few, the P.E. department went around the school and marked where the rubbish black areas were, the English department held a fantastic book sale and the Art department designed a beautiful collage made from old magazines and painted a very scenic picture. There was a great atmosphere in the gym and all the students had a great time. Our Green Day was topped off by a visit from Trevor Sargent T.D.
Mr.Sargent was in Dromcollogher as he was presenting awards to students from the Organic College. He was taken on a tour of the gym by members of the Green Schools committee. He was very impressed by the hard work of the Green Schools Committee and was also interested in what the students of Hazelwood College contributed to the Green Day.
It is the Green Schools Committee’s aim to obtain a green flag for our school which we hope will set a good example for the rest of our community. Currently we are very dedicated to recycling as much waste as possible. We have bins for plastic bottles, tin foil, general waste, food waste, paper and glass.

The Transition Years had the opportunity to witness Frank Broderick of Brudair’s Bakery craftsmanship in cake decorating during a recent demonstration. They got their chance to showcase their new skills in Home Economics class, when they baked and decorated their own Christmas cakes.
The cupboards in many homes this Christmas were not bare as St Vincent de Paul distributed thousands of hampers to needy families, elderly people and individuals who would otherwise have gone without basic food items as well as luxury festive treats over Christmas. Hampers are a lifeline to families who can’t afford the cost of Christmas. Many people simply cannot afford the additional costs at this time of the year and the hampers go a long way towards easing that burden. The spirit of Christmas is well and truly alive in Hazelwood College Dromcollogher. The students and staff recently organised a food hamper collection in aid of St Vincent de Paul. There was a fantastic response to the collection and a huge selection of non perishable and festive food items were donated to the large gift wrapped box which had been placed in the main area of the school. The Home Economics department also donated a homemade Christmas cake which was decorated by Frank Broderick of Brudair’s bakery during a sugarcraft demonstration which was held recently in the school. The hamper drive was a great way to get involved with SVP at Christmas and to reach out a helping hand to people who are in need in the community. The school would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the students and their families who helped to make the collection such a success. The hampers were distributed by very dedicated volunteers who are able to identify families and individuals in the local community who were in need.
