Recently, Michael Keyes, a 6th year student at Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher competed in the Irish Chemistry Olympiad. This is a chemistry competition where students from Northern Ireland and the Republic are selected to take part. Michael won a silver medal in DCU on Saturday 15th February. This is a phenomenal achievement. Michael will now go forward to compete in a training camp over the Easter holidays where two students will be selected to represent Ireland in the World Chemistry Olympiad in Hanoi in Vietnam in July. We wish Michael all the best and congratulate him on his achievement to date.
The Parents Council in conjunction with Hazelwood College are organising a 5k fun run/walk to be held on Sunday 6 April. Timings and costs are still to be confirmed. Run starts and finishes at Hazelwood College, and there will be light refreshments served on the afternoon.
We ask everyone who is interested to help us to promote this valuable event. Everyone can take part – whatever fitness level….Training can begin now, and has already started in the school being organised by Miss Murphy Hazelwood P.E. Teacher, and also training walks are being held every Tuesday, hosted by TY students and Miss Brennan. The Athletics club will also enter teams for the run.
It should be a fantastic occasion, celebrating fitness for all levels. We hope to get the community backing together with sports clubs in the local area.
All funds raised will go to the school, supporting all departments
Hazelwood College in conjunction with Heartaid are facilitating cardiac screening as part of a health promotion initiative in the school. Both students and staff have been informed of this service which will run over a number of consecutive days. The interest is high and the deadline for booking is the 7th February 2014. This service is extremely convenient as all screenings will take place on site with minimal disruption to pupil and teacher timetabling.
Heartaid screening includes 1) personal & family history questionnaire 2) physical examination with a medical doctor and a 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG). The medical data & ECG are assessed and reported by a consultant cardiologist.
Ms. Ciara Broderick who is organising this health promotion initiative cannot emphasise enough the importance of availing of this service. “Up to 100 young people die each year in Ireland from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) and a recent report published stated that the incidents of SADS are higher in Ireland than many other European countries. Participating in this screening can help to identify cardiac abnormalities and hopefully save a life. This opportunity cannot be missed.”
Hazelwood students and staff prepare for the forthcoming cardiac screening which is going to be carried out by Heartaid in order to prevent Sudden Adult Death Synrome. Pictured are (left to right) Deputy Principal Elizabeth Dolan, Ava Mullane, Daniel Curtin, Ms Ciara Broderick, who is organising this potentially lifesaving initiative, Cillian Shine and Tara Reidy.
