The Hazelwood College Junior camogie team impressed with two very good victories to progress into two different county finals. They are now in the Junior Cork Colleges Competition and the Junior Limerick Colleges Competition. The Hazelwood girls progressed to the Junior Cork Colleges Competition on Thursday 28th of February with a very impressive victory over Bandon in the school pitch. The Hazelwood girls were in control of this game from the very first whistle and dominated throughout the game. The move of Cliona O’ Callaghan from midfield into full forward, due to illness, started the Hazelwood girls scoring spree. This move paid off for the Hazelwood team as she scored her first goal straight away, one of the eight goals that she scored throughout the game. Bandon could only manage one score in the whole game which was a goal that came in the middle of the second half. Hazelwood continued to dominate and they were the deserving winners on the scoreline of 8-10 to 1-00.
Hazelwood Vs Bandon: C. Ryan, R. McNamara, S. Shanahan, E R. Mulcahy, C. O’ Brien, T. Fitzgibbon (0-01), L. Enright, E. Mulcahy (0-04), C. O’ Callaghan (8-04), L. Stack (0-01), N. McCarthy, A. McMahon, S. Kenneally, C. Foley, N. O’ Brien.
Two talented Home Economics students in Hazelwood College have confirmed that they can take the heat in the kitchen when they wowed judges with their exceptional culinary skills in the Apprentice Chef final held in the Institute of Technology, Tralee on Friday last.
It was a hotly contested final with Julia O’ Doherty TY and Laura Stack 2nd year competing against 6 other finalists from schools in Kerry and Cork. The students had to create a recipe for a main course using ingredients listed in the “Good Mood Food List” with marks being awarded on presentation, quality and skills demonstrated along with a written project.
Laura Stack created a mouth watering dish which consisted of crispy chicken with spinach and tarragon stuffing served with roast vegetable filo basket and a bell pepper sauce. Julia O’ Doherty impressed judges with her sole roulade served on a bed of stir fry vegetables, potato gratin and a prawn bisque sauce. This creation led to Julia being crowned as the overall winner by the judges who commented on Julia’s impressive level of skills for someone so young and her extensive knowledge regarding her coursework. Apprentice Chef Mentor Judge Mark Doe said “We have been blown away by the standard of not only the cooking of the students’ dishes, but just as importantly the standard of projects they submitted”
Julia’s exceptional win was rewarded with a very generously sponsored prize of €1,000 worth of cooking equipment for Hazelwood College by Lee Strand, a three day internship with Apprentice Chef Mentor Simon Regan at the 5 Star Hotel Europe in Killarney, three cookery workshops with Apprentice Chef Mentor Mark Doe at “Just Cooking” cookery school in Firies, three Innerjoy Wellbeing coaching sessions with Susan Fitzgerald, an Apprentice Chef uniform, kitchen utensils and certificate.
Laura along with the other 6 runners-up received prizes consisting of a three hour cookery masterclass at the Institute of Technology, Tralee, an Apprentice Chef uniform and certificate. Their Home Economics teacher at Hazelwood College Ms. Daly was overjoyed with the news and was thrilled that their interest, enthusiasm and talent shone through on the day.

An tIonad Glas – The Organic College in Dromcollogher was this week selected as one of the Final Six Nationwide STAR Projects at a special AONTAS Awards Ceremony in Dublin as part of Adult Learners Festival 2013 .
The College, which has been operating for over twenty years, was earlier invited to make a presentation of its work by past and present students: Dan Harold Kilmeedy, Maggie Hanley Askeaton, Gerard Grace Nenagh, Paula Pender Carlow and Jim McNamara Educational Directior of the College.
The final selection of one project from the Top Six in Ireland was announced last Monday and was presented to “Training for Success” from Sligo, a project for learners with Epilepsy. The Organic College was represented at this event by Elizabeth Dolan of Hazelwood College, together with Gerard Grace and Jim McNamara.
In a keynote address to the STAR Adult Learners and providers, Mr. John Lonergan, former Governer of Mountjoy Prison, spoke of the need “to celebrate and give hope, meaning and affirmation to people, especially in times of recession”. He said “we need to see education not as a status thing but as a human right for everyone! The creation of oppertunities for oneself and for others to grow and reach their full potential, was regarded as one of the most valuable things we can do in our lives.”
