Dave Rudden Visit

Hazelwood students were very fortunate to receive a visit from author Dave Rudden recently.

Dave’s debut novel, already a huge best seller, is about Denizen Hardwick, a boy who doesn’t believe in magic – until he’s ambushed by a monster created from shadows and sees it destroyed by a word made of sunlight.

The Knights of the Borrowed Dark has been shortlisted for the Hennessy New Irish Writing Prize and the Bath Short Story Prize.

Donkey Santuary Visit

Hazelwood College 3C C.S.P.E. class are pictured here at The Donkey Sanctuary, Liscarroll, recently, where the students visited in order to learn about animal rights. As part of their action project, students learned about how The Donkey Sanctuary helps animals who have been mistreated and under the supervision of their teacher, Ms Julie Corkery, engaged in a food drive to help to meet the feed needs of the animals in the shelter.

Building Works Update

Things are progessing well with our new extension. Greatly helped by the good weather for the month of October.

Here are some photographs of the progress. Sub foundations for the new buildings were dug and poured to a depth of 2.4m. On top of these foundations the steel formwork for the main foundation ring were laid. Over the midterm break these upper foundations will be poured and completed

At the second location over 300 truck loads of soil have been removed and the base for the new basketball courts and soccer pitch are being laid.

Industrial Relations Clarification

Hazelwood College wishes to confirm that there are no A.S.T.I staff employed in the school. The teaching staff in the school are represented solely by the T.U.I. and as a result the are no ‘Dual Union’ issues arising in the school. All members of the T.U.I. have signed up to and are compliant with the Landsdowne Road Agreement.

We are therefore not involved in the current industrial action and will not be taking part in any disruption to schools. All staff will continue to conduct supervision and substitution and Hazelwood College will remain OPEN during any closures caused as a result of the A.S.T.I. action.

The school calendar remains in place and continues to operate as published …here…
