Student Editorial
The Newtown Review is a whole school event but we, as student editors, were tasked with getting everything ready
for this review to be realised. We spent a lot of the year chasing students (and staff) for their articles. Some gave
them willingly, and on time, while others needed a bit of persuading! Our team was much smaller than other years
but we were just as productive, enthusiastic and committed. It has been a lot of work and we are proud of the result.
We would like to thank Ms. Coady for her guidance, organisation and encouragment throughout the whole process
and Mrs. Maher for her help, especially her business brain that helps put the whole thing together.

Where are you from?
Ireland mostly, and Waterford for now, though I have a strong
familial and sentimental links with Wexford and Sligo.
What is your job?
Mother Hen in Annamaur
How do you like Newtown?
Newtown is a very special place, I feel privileged to be here and to
work and live in Annamaur with so many great girls.
What is your favourite thing about Newtown?
I love the trees and the birds, and caring ethos and respect for the
students, the history, the old buildings, the space for individuality;
but mostly the potential, Newtown and its pupils are bursting with
potential and it augurs well for the future.
What is your favourite lunch?
A very helpful colleague always tips me off when there is what
she describes as schlob with rice for lunch. My last supper at
Newtown would be something saucy with meat, spice and rice
(maybe chicken curry) with strawberry jelly and cream for dessert.
Are you a creature of habit/do you park in the same spot every
day? Will you get upset if someone else has taken it?
I would like to answer no but as my red car is a fixture in front of
the tennis courts it would somewhat undermine the integrity of
my other answers. Yes, I am a creature of habit but no, I wouldnt
be upset if somebody else had taken it. (Though the amount of
upset that it wouldnt cause me might depend on somebody and
circumstances - if it was a rainy Wednesday afternoon in January.)
If you werent a house mistress what would you be?
I would be a zookeeper or an ambassador.
If your house was burning down and you could only save one
thing what would it be?
I would have to save two precious things, a pair of children and a
gaggle of young ladies.

How does Newtown differ from other places

How did you end up coming to Newtown? Miss Kelleher brought me here in her

What was your first impression of Newtown? I arrived on a cold and rainy night
in December. The first person I met was Charlotte Ebert. She was very friendly and
gave me lots of cuddles. That made me feel right at home.
How do you like Newtown? I absolutely love it. There are lots of trees to hide
behind, lots of birds to chase and lots of pitches to run across. However, I wish
there were more dogs to hang out with.
What sort of jobs did you have to do over the year? I had to guard Miss Kellehers
flat during the day and bring her out for walks first thing in the morning, lunch
time, after school and last thing at night.
Most memorable experience? The whole year has been memorable. Every day has
been grrrrreat.
Likes: Running free without my lead, Lizzy Swift, Claire Murphy, playing tug,
chasing sticks, sleeping, organic food, travelling.
Dislikes: My lead.

Newtown Review 2014
Edward Denniston
In Newtown we are lucky to be surrounded by open minded
and thoughtful teachers. Few are as approachable and
involved as Edward Denniston, a man whose every sentence
means precisely what its meant to, the sum of its words.
Edward Denniston is an inspirational man, his intellect,
modesty and many talents paving a path that many never
realize is there to take. In Newtown we are encouraged to
think outside of the box and there few examples as clear
cut as Mr. Denniston that there is no box to be stuck in.
He is a teacher in every meaning of the word; a rugby
coach, a poet, a director and a tutor. He certainly showed
me personally that there is no need to pick one area of
excellence alone; if you use your time you can be everything
that you want to be.
If I have gotten any message from Mr. Denniston over the
past six years, it would be to listen to others, to try new
things, to be honest to yourself and to others and to get
everything you can out of your life. Always more than happy
to help out, I remember asking him in Fifth Form if he would
do a drama class and he subsequently gave up his one free
evening in the week to tutor the group of us that wanted it.
This is the sort of man that he is.
Edward Denniston is a kind, giving man who will be sorely
missed. Everyone who has ever spoken to him will agree, he
is a fine guru and he will be missed.

On Tuesday 11th April the TY French classes had a surprise. Instead of class we were treated to a French breakfast, chocolate croissants and orange
juice. We then had a little Petanque competition, a boule game from the Petanque region. After Ms. Guyon explained the rules, we had a mini

Linguistics
Linguistics is a resource that Newtown
School has over other schools in Ireland
and even a lot of other countries. The tests
that are done in this course are applied in
other countries all over the world. This is
thanks to Mr. Dobbs, who is in charge of the
lessons on Wednesdays and prepares us
for tests coming up during the year.
Linguistics is a very good opportunity that
we have. It involves us in other languages
and makes us think in a different way in
order to come out with the solutions to the
tasks that were assigned to. It develops
our skills in understanding other languages
with lack of knowledge and we achieve a lot
more skills such as improving concentration
and memory.
At the moment the members of this
group are few but this can grow as we let
everybody know about the advantages of
this option in school. Personally, I think its a
great opportunity, all are welcome to come
and try it.

During the Easter break we travelled to Ballymaloe
House in County Cork to interview an icon of Irish culinary
history Myrtle Allen.
Before embarking on a lifetime adventure with food,
Myrtle Allen received a very liberal education. She first attended
Frensham Heights School in Surrey in the UK. Following the
outbreak of the Second World War Myrtle joined Fourth Form
in Newtown School.
Myrtle told us that her parents decision to send her to
Newtown was influenced by a number of factors. The previous
owners of Ballymaloe House, the Simpsons, were close
family friends with the Allens, they had a daughter attending
Newtown at the time and they highly recommended it. More
importantly however, both of Myrtles parents were strong
advocates of co-education and this was a significant reason
when considering their choice.
Myrtle travelled to Newtown with her father to see
what it was like and this was when she first met the principal
John Brigham who had recently succeeded the popular Arnold
Marsh. Myrtle expressed a strong empathy with John Brigham
who she described as as new as me. On her first day at school,
Myrtle was collected from the Cork train by Principal Brigham
himself!
Before arriving at Newtown, Myrtle had been at
school in England and she described being fitted for a gas mask
and completing air raid drills. Little did she expect that similar
procedures would be evident when she came to Waterford.
Myrtle was glad that Ireland wasnt directly involved in the
conflict and although the country was at peace the war did
affect Irish daily life. She recounted everyone listening to the
radio and hearing about the numbers killed. Hearing about
young people dying particularly affected her.
The effects of war had its own impact on Newtown.
As a Quaker school the community went out of its way to
accommodate people who had been displaced by the war. Some
German and Jewish refugees fleeing war torn Europe found
safety in Ireland and within Newtown itself. Quakers in Dublin
and local Waterford Families helped the German Emergency
Relief Committee to look after these refugees and support their
education at the school.
One such pupil who struck up a special friendship with
Myrtle was a German boy, Robert Weil. Roberts parents were
pharmacists in Berlin before the war. Following Hitlers edicts
that no Jews were allowed to work as professionals in Germany,
Roberts parents knew that there was no future for them there.

CHOIRS
Senior Choir
Senior choir is an all female group comprising of Second to Sixth Form students, with voices ranging
from Altos to First Sopranos.
This year Senior choir welcomed First Form students.
Our first choral assignment was to join the cast of Grease as pit singers.
In December we took part in Winterval and sang Christmas carols, along with the Chamber Choir, to
get everyone in the mood for Christmas on the Singing Christmas Tree.
For the Christmas Concert we performed Adiemus(The Sanctuary Song) in three parts as well as
accompanying Harry Jephson as he sang Those Magic Changes from Grease.
In the spring and summer term we concentrated more on modern songs.
We would like to thank Mrs. OConnor and Mrs. Keappock for their dedication and determination and
the work they put into our choir throughout the whole year.

Cilian Jacob
What instrument do you play?
I play piano, guitar, trumpet and I also sing.
At what age did you start?
I started to play piano at the age of six, in Second
Form I started with taking voice and trumpet
lessons, and since Third Form I play the guitar.
Would you think about doing it in university or
as a career?
Id love to do music as a career but Id have to
accidentally get into it.
Did the musical facilities affect your choice of
school?
No. The choice of school runs in the family.
Whats your greatest musical achievement so
far?
I supported the band, In The Willows, in
Whelans in Dublin.
What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to as much as I get. My favourite type of
music changes all the time. Folk rock, electronic,
funk, soul, hiphop, jazz, bluegrass... theres just so
many... trad, punk, I like music with harmonies. You
cant really sum it up.
Cormac Kavanagh
How long have you worked in Newtown?
I started work in Newtown in April 1997.
Has the Music Department changed much since you started?
It was quite small when I started in Mountmellick. Then during the
Celtic Tiger years it expanded quite a lot with the extra student
intake at Newtown. At one stage there were three guitar teachers!
More instruments have been added too over the years
How many students have you had in Newtown?
I looked into it and I reckon between four and five hundred.
Do you have any funny stories from your time here?
Uhhh none that I can recall. Well I always had a laugh with the
students and other teachers.
Did you teach any instruments other than guitar?
I once taught full music classes for a few weeks as a substitute for
Anne Barry.
I was terrible. The kids ran riot!!
Will you continue to teach guitar?
Yes, I love it. I think Im getting the hang of it now...
What is your favourite thing about Newtown?
The positive attitude there, the teachers, the self confidence of the
pupils and the general look and Quaker ethos of the school.
Where have you moved to?
Tampa, Florida, USA.
Whats the biggest difference between The US and Ireland?
Lots of differences but the weather is just great here. We
Kavanaghs all love the outdoors! I love the positivity and general
can-do attitude. Lots of opportunities if you have the talent and drive
to make it happen. I do miss the scenery in Ireland, the Irish accent
and Barrys Tea. Also Clonakilty Black Pudding actually this list
could go on.

ORCHESTRA
Orchestra is a great way to get some practice working in a large musical group and musical
experience in general. We meet every Thursday during lunch in Mountmellick to practice and are
directed by Stephen Mackey. We normally practice pieces that we have learned and learn some new
pieces. We play some of these pieces at the Christmas concert.
Orchestra this year started out much smaller than usual but thanks to the great participation of many
of the First Form students we now have a big band, thanks to all of the wind instruments and the lack
of strings.
The orchestra now consists of clarinets, violins, flutes, piano, saxophones, cellos, double bass and
drums. At this years Christmas Concert we played Pirates of the Caribbean by Klaus Badelt,
Clown by Emeli Sande, with a solo by Sarah Murray and we also joined the Chamber Choir and the
Junior Choir in the finale of Pachelbels Canon and O Come All Ye Faithful. We are already learning
some new songs for next years Christmas Concert. Over all, this has been a very successful year for
the orchestra and hopefully this will carry into next years orchestra. Thanks to Stephen Mackey and
all of the music staff that help us throughout the year.

Fear
Fear is one thing I find curious. It can make people do things, good and bad, that the mind finds unimaginable. In certain
situations fear can also create adrenaline. This in turn has caused mothers to pull cars off their children. Imagine, a
woman, lifting a metal vehicle worth 10 times her weight and not a scratch left on her. But running however, is a scary
thing that I am sure of. Ive been running for a good while. Running from myself. Running from my past. Running from the
police. And, more importantly, running from what I did three years ago, on my 16th birthday.
I can remember that day. It is still vivid in my minds eye. I still to this day, wake up with cold sweats as images of that day
haunt my memory. That should tell you I have a conscience. Im not a psychopath. In my mind, Im still a scared sixteen
year old. Escaping from all I was. running before it could catch me.
The day was scorching hot. 35C if I remember correctly and it was only to get warmer. I had chosen to wear my favourite
Thin Lizzy t-shirt and dark ripped denim shorts. I remember promising myself that today will be a good day, that nothing
could ruin it. Especially as it was my 16th birthday. My feet patted along the floor to where I opened the door to the
kitchen. Scotch and gin filled my senses as I entered. To my left my mother was sitting on the floor scratching her arms
and rocking to and fro. My step father was passed out on the chair beside her. Of course she would be there beside him,
on the floor like a faithful puppy.
Matty, my baby brother, was fast asleep in his high chair. He smelled foul and had bruises at the rim of his arm. This
was probably caused by him thrashing at the tray on the high chair. He was probably trying to get my mothers attention.
I scowled and opened the refrigerator to find something for him to eat. I grabbed a baby food jar and placed it on the
counter. This woke him. He looked up at me and smiled. I tickled him under his chin and he gurgled a giggle. He looked
around then and began to cry as he saw my mother. I frowned and reached for him. I bounced and rocked him until he
settled. Then I took him to my room and changed his nappy and put him in his playpen. He was content there. Playing
with his squishy toys and blocks.
I ran back to the kitchen. I crouched in front of my mother. I stared her in the eye.
Have you even fed him all night? Hes been in that chair all yesterday! She looked at me but didnt answer. I began
again
Hes your son, are you just going to shoot up in front of him all the time?
I began to raise my voice.
Or are you going to neglect your son?
Now I was angry, really angry. I stood up. I turned to my step father and kicked him hard in the crotch.
And you... I hissed. Are you going to use all the money my father left us to buy drink and to feed her addiction? Or are
you going to start feeding the baby?!
I was screaming now. How could he do this to her? To us? I realised how when all of a sudden he raised his leg and
kicked me hard in the stomach. I flew back and hit the floor hard. I lifted my head, groaning and trying to catch my breath.
I got to my feet and glared at him. He stared at me and looked me up and down. I turned and took a deep breath trying
not to say something I would later regret. I took out a glass bowl from the cupboard and began to prepare Mattys baby
food. Then I felt my stepfathers hand on my back. This is the last straw, I thought. And just like that, I whipped around
and smashed the bowl across his head. It shattered on impact. He suddenly got a hold of my hair and yanked so hard
I thought he would pull the scalp off. I screamed as he threw my face into the counter. I fumbled and found a knife. I
quickly rammed it behind me, and luckily, straight into his liver. He hobbled back and fell to the floor. I stared down at him.
Gripping at his side. His pathetic eyes looked surprised. Then I thrust the knife down again. This time into his stomach. I
think I did this because, for the first time in my life it felt good to be in control. I heard my mother scream behind me as the
adrenaline rush started to fade and fear came thundering back into my body. I dropped the knife and ran. This is when, I
guess, I started to run. I havent stopped since.
I looked down at Matty. He was beside me in the car. His smile hasnt changed in all these years. He looked so like my
mother. He has her green eyes and teethy smile. My mother didnt call the police like you may think. When I glanced in
the kitchen to see if she was phoning someone she was actually dead with my stepfather in her arms, syringe stuck out of
her arm. Literally she died for him. I take one look at four year old Matty and see why I did what I did. Because Id rather
bury my mother and stepfather than Matty. Thats why I run, thats why endure fear, for him.

Real Home
Tranquility, utter silence and bliss, she saw it when she closed her eyes, like an old movie playing on her lids. Soft
sunlight shone on her face and the smell of pine needles and earth filled her nose as she imagined herself back where
she belonged.
The harsh sound of a horn brought Abigail out of her calming memories, for that was all they were now. She looked
around her and she no longer saw the soft greens and browns of her home, only the dirty grey of cement walls where
she now lived in. Her back was sore from the weight of the bag on her back and her feet ached with the effort of keeping
herself upright. She scolded herself for thinking of the forest, it just cut at the unhealed wound that was her homesickness
and reminded her how much she missed it. With a heavy heart Abigail stumbled forward.
Her apartment block was like the twenty others in the neighborhood, gray and large, bearing the stains of graffiti. The only
plant life was a small square of scrubby grass in the middle of four of these monstrosities. Abigail walked right through
this poor excuse of nature and kept going to the far building, this had the worst of the ruin and decay, even though it was
rather new. She compared it to her forest, though Abigail had tried not to, but the differences were too great not to notice,
it wouldnt have been an exactly lovely place to live, but in her eyes it was a wasteland of bricks and man-made pollution.
She reached the door and sighed, someone had spray painted a nasty word on the bleached wood paneling. It was a
struggle to open it, her backpack shifted uncomfortably and the collar of her school shirt was too tight.
Once inside, it was a little warmer than the October day, the lounge as tenants called it smelled of old cigarette smoke
and lilac room spray, which she had to guess was trying, and failing, to cover up the stench of rotting fruit that seemed
to cling to everything. The room was papered in a gaudy geometric design and there were a scattering of armchairs in a
corner next to the mail slots. Abigail headed toward these to sit down and do some homework before her aunt got in from
work.
Aunt Anne, though nice enough, was never really there so Abigail spent most of her time thinking of the woods and her
home. After about half an hour she found that she had run out of things to do and felt her mind wandering back to the day
when it all had started. No, she muttered under her breath, feeling a lump in her throat. She trudged upstairs keeping
her eyes on her feet.
She came to their apartment on the third floor. The door swung shut as she stepped inside. The carpet was thick and
shaggy, the walls patterned in floral print that was so bright it made her head hurt. The furniture was shabby and old
fashioned and everything centered around a large TV, her aunts pride and joy. She rushed to her room and slammed the
door, with a little too much force, behind her. In here was a little less like a circus in decoration. The walls were a light blue
and the carpet was black. Though it was blank, Abigail felt it was perfect in the way it showed no resemblance to her old
room. She took off her uniform and slipped into sweatpants and a t-shirt.
Without deciding to, her feet brought her to her bedside table and she methodically opens the stiff drawer. She gazed
down at the bundle of cloth and ached to unwrap what lay underneath. No, she muttered again, forbidding herself to
look upon the only piece of home she had left. Even with it covered, it caused images to surface in her mind. The shout
of her father as smoke burned her nose and flames flickered in front of her eyes and the heart broken scream that came
from her own mouth. Suddenly the urge became too enormous to ignore. Her fingers flicked at the white cotton that was
soft beneath her touch. Carefully she unfolded it. Abigail noticed she was shaking; outside there was the usual constant of
people and traffic.
In the middle, dry and brown lay a small piece of pine. Half of its needles had fallen though its scent was still strong, she
savoured it and felt herself smiling as she remember when she had planted this tree as a chubby five year old, excited at
the idea of creating and nurturing new life.
Then she let it fall, quickly, too quickly all that was left was a mess to clean up. She gathered it up and felt a single tear
roll down her cheek then she threw it away, then and there she let go of her past as she swept the remains into the small
paper waste bin that stood beside the bed and suddenly the world looked a whole lot brighter.
In the years to come she would still think of the woods and what had happened, but more important still she would
remember the day she let go of the things that anchored her to the past and finally started to live in the present. She
embraced her new life and was thankful for every day, though she never forgot her real home.

Somewhere Else
Francos neck was stiff when he awoke. He had been sleeping beneath the sandy coloured wooden benches of the arena.
His eyes strained from the piercing sunlight, making him blind. He jerked his tanned head up sharply, from its reclining
position, hitting his temple on a low rafter. He cursed, out of spite, biting an already broken lip. Now, he was awake!
Franco wriggled his leather clad thighs out from the rafters. His dark skin was roughened and scratched from the coarse
sand that had previously served as his mattress. He did not mind though, he was alive and the night had passed. Life was
anew, it would never be the same again, for Franco Rios had survived his test.
Eight hours earlier...
Franco tilted his neck back, so he could fully appreciate the expanse of the night sky above him. The stars were abundant
and twinkled nonchalantly back at him. His mind raced fervently and he considered what would I give to be anywhere
but here tonight?
He supposed that the setting wasnt at fault. Who could deny the magic of a small hilltop Spanish town? It was more the
local entertainment that evening that caused him angst. A bead of perspiration built on his temple, his muscles ached
already, yet the brawl hadnt even begun!
Franco collected his thoughts and proceeded towards the marketplace. Despite the late hour there were still diners
casually sipping Bierzo wine, stuffing themselves on black olives and regaling with laughter; blissfully unaware of the
young man passing them, approaching his test of manhood and a final plea for fatherly respect.
Franco looked through the door to a pale fronted restaurant were his girlfriend Carla worked. He could clearly see her
serving tapas, to adoring male customers. His face hardened as he resignedly tore himself away from the window, and
pressed on, disappearing into the nights shadows.
Franco visualized what his fathers face would look like when he saw Francos gangly teenage body splayed out on the
blood stained sand of the arena. Was it exclusively anger that would dominate his forehead? Franco wondered.
By now he had reached the outside of the arena, already full of animated and excited crowds. A cacophony of noise was
created by the mix of tourists and locals, unified for one evening only by their delicious excitement.
Franco entered the stadium of the arena, through the back gate, greeted by Antonio Bellemonte the bull master. Even
spending a few moments with a fanatic like him would have been enough to trigger Francos retching, so he laconically
excused himself, from what would have been a less than strengthening lecture.
Franco descended a staircase, and found himself staring through a slatted railing into the dark eyes of a bull. Within their
blackness he saw confusion, maybe even fear, ironically like Francos.
It seemed incomprehensible to him that neither opponent really had violent intentions, but still they were still
compelled to duel a savage fight that would only be decided by death (according to the stipulations of tradition).
However Franco wasnt thinking revolutionary thoughts; he just couldnt bear to face his destiny.

Autumn
You are burnt-orange A dry rasp of jaded sun, and
When I inhale
I can feel your ache in the pulp of my teeth.
And I love you for it.
You and your organic-musk
The smell of sweating trees
And fox heat; eczema leaves Moulding grass and sweet decay
The scent of death, sex; and
Life anew.
You have loved us, autumn And though your children are the dead
And the silent
We are steeped in our love for you.
- Roberta Doorley
Title
We kissed for words,
We embraced for things
we didnt know how to say,
And I tried to pour it allAll the love, all the want, all the care
into that kiss.
But sadly we moved against each
other,
Sadly our tongues ran instead of
danced
and all we said,
was empty.

My Italian Experience
On January 29th, I left for a month and a half long trip to Italy. I spoke no Italian before going but the plan was to
pick it up while I was there.
First I went to Florence, which began with a disastrous connection flight from Dublin. The flight was supposed
to leave at 7:20, but we were informed at the Air France desk that that flight didnt actually exist. So instead of
flying over Frankfurt, we were now going to be flying by Charles de Gaulle airport, and leaving Dublin at 10:20. So
instead of leaving and coming back to the airport, we hung around the airport caf with the pilots.
After a long seven hours, we arrived in Florence at the apartment at 18:30 local time. We had been at the
apartment for ten days before, two years previously.
In Florence, I attended an Italian language course from 9:00 to 13:00 every weekday. It was all conducted through
Italian, which was a bit of a challenge at first, but made for fast learning. There were six others in my class, two
from Mexico, one from Venezuela, one from Peru, one from Russia, and one from Israel. The teachers name was
Giuliana. By the end of the month in Florence, I was able to understand pretty much everything, but I had a bit of
nervousness about speaking. Also, the locals love a chance to practice their English, and most of the time they
could tell I wasnt Italian just by looking.
On February 28th, we took a train to Venice, to stay for ten days. In Venice, there was enough to occupy my
time by just seeing art galleries and museums, or wandering around the streets. I only went on a gondola once,
because they now operate almost solely as a tourist amenity. The tourist gondolas cost 80 a ride in the day, and
100 a ride at night. The gondola I went on was from a traghetto, which is just a pontoon or jetty for boarding a
gondola but the word traghetto is now used to describe the decommissioned bobbis awesome gondolas that
cross the Grand Canal at the points furthest from any bridges. A ride across costs 50c for residents of Venice, and
2 for visitors.
We returned to Ireland on March 9th. Even though I really enjoyed my time abroad, it was nice to come back to
Ireland. You begin to feel really integrated after a month and a half living in a culture like that, even though its not
so long. But you dont feel quite at home. I still think that it was definitely a great time.

Generation Arts
Generation Arts is an intergenerational creativity program
that is run by Libby Seward. The programme deals with all
types of creative mediums, from dance and music to photography and writing. This year, the ages ranged from four
to eighty years old. Anna and I participated in the majority
of the programme, with Vikki and Cole coming in towards
the end to help with the set-up and making of the stage.
Because of the wide range of things that you could do in
the programme, I got to experience a lot of things that I
otherwise dont think I would have had the opportunity to
do, such as broadening my comfort zone. I think that because I was forced to do things that I wasnt fully comfortable with, such as reading aloud in front of a lot of people, I
have become less worried about having to speak in front of
people in the future.

TY Gaeltacht Trip
My father grew up in the Gaeltacht in West Mayo and completed
his primary education through Irish. It is hardly surprising then that
all things Irish would be big in our house. I have been to Coliste
(a three week summer camp in the Gaeltacht with everything as
Gaeilge) on the Aran Islands four times now and I really enjoyed it.
I was really looking forward to the TY Gaeltacht trip. I am happy to
report that this week more than lived up to my expectations it was
one of the best weeks I have had since I came to Newtown.
We headed off for Kerry on the twenty third of September. There were
about fifteen of us and we were accompanied by Mr. OCuinn and Ms.
OCarroll. We stayed in Ceann Tr near Dingle, Co. Kerry.
During the week we participated in a wide range of activities and
events such as cils, table quizzes and various other activities to give
us a flavour of culture in the Gaeltacht regions of Ireland. The highlight
was the day we spent out on the Blasket Islands.
The Bean an T was really good to us and the food was amazing.
Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible. I really recommend
it to anyone in TY next year.

Killary
In the last term of our Transition Year we went to Killary. It was a five day trip to the Outdoor Activity Centre in Killary, West
Ireland.
If I had the chance to go again I would. Honestly it was the best part of TY. We did all kinds of outdoor activities like
kayaking, rock climbing, abseiling, high ropes, bungee jumping, zip wire, the Turf Challenge, cliff jumping, gorge walking,
archery, hill climbing and laser combo. We lived in a youth hostel close to the beach and close to where all the activities
happened. For dinner we went up a hill to the Killary Centre but we had all the other meals in the hostel.
There were so many of us that we were divided into five groups for the activities. I dont think I have enough pages to
describe everything I want to describe but here are a few of the impressions I have formed.
We grew together. Of course getting closer to each other is one of the biggest aims in TY and Killary definitely helped. We
worked together all the time, we had to test our limits, overcome fears and that only worked with the support of the team!
We were depending on each other in some challenges and we had to trust each other.
Also a huge thing for me was the bungee jump. Im not afraid of heights but when I was standing up on the bungee
tower my legs felt like jelly. The instructor counts...Three... Two....One ...BUNGEE!!
And you fall into nothing!
It was scary as hell but I dont regret doing it. Once you were falling everything was good, the scariest part was waiting for
the jump and looking down on the tiny little net that you were going to land in after hanging in the air for a little while.
In Killary we got to spend a lot of time together, we knew that some of us will not be in Newtown next year.
Thanks to Ms. Keogh for organising such a brilliant trip and to the staff that accompanied us. It was a truly memorable
part of our TY year.

Time Travel
Me? Im a time traveller. Im from 2030. 2030 is nice actually. We managed to get that world peace thing done, so yeah thats pretty
cool. Also we got free electricity and water and stuff. We decided that everyone needs it easier, you know?
Shame it cant be said for this time. Everything is way too overpriced and you have to pay for electricity and water, like seriously, they
could make it free. I suppose the 2010s arent that bad though. There are a lot more original ideas, since a lot of stuff has become
unoriginal when you use it all by 2030. We still get the occasional original idea, but it becomes copied quickly and then forgotten.
Ive been to other times too. I went to France during the Revolution once. I had to leave though because they were trying to execute
me. That was an interesting experience. Ive also been to the Ice Age. I swear it would have been a childs dream just to go in there
and play in the snow for a few hours and then go again. I did that. I might go back and do it again.
I wish I could go to the future. I would really like to see what happens to the people I know and the world as we know it.
Unfortunately, I cant go past the point at which the data I left behind. The data continues on in time and is linked to my Time
Machine. I can return to that time, which is probably somewhere in 2033 at this point.
Now, youre probably wondering why I havent returned to my time, considering Ive been here for three and bit years. My Time
Machine broke and I was on my way back to 2030 and it broke at the year 2010. From there I didnt know much of what to do. The
parts needed to fix it arent invented until 2026. So Im stranded here until that time. However, the stranding turned out to be a
blessing.
I applied for school. I had a small amount of money. But whats a small amount of money in 2030, is a large amount in this time.
So I came here, to Newtown. I wasnt really sure what to expect. I was quite scared actually, but that dissipated after a while. I
made some really good friends in the time I have been here, and I am actually considering living in this time, as opposed to my
own. Really, well have to see how I feel by 2026.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and I cant wait for you to see how the future unfolds,
In Friendship,
Alex Collins

When Mrs. Maher asked me to write a review of Newtowns production of Grease, I agreed. I dont like disagreeing with Mrs. Maher.
Grease: The Musical (as compared to Grease: The Novel, Grease: The Anime, or Grease: The Opera) was a theatrical event of such
beauty that it made the audience wish they werent all dying. Our Principal, Mr. Lemon described it as a story about love and coming
together in the face of a judgmental society to be who we are. It is also violently stupid and a lot of fun.
It is unlikely that there will be another musical to make as much of a cultural impact as Grease did. In a weird way, it brought the culture
of the fifties into a seventies revival. Since then, that fashion, though now horribly unfashionable, is present in the cultural subconscious,
even though people often misappropriate it to the 80s. This would have meant that Grease was set in the future. If this was the case,
Greased Lightning would have been a rocket car like in the Jetsons. This would have been glorious. If something that good ever occurs
in human culture, it will only occur long after you have died. It is unlikely your empty head-socket will ever have any meaningful opinion
on theatre.
There have been many productions of Grease - there was one just down the road the week before Newtowns, as a point of interest.
The immediate challenge was to take such a familiar show and make it fresh. This was achieved by stuffing in as many ideas, quirks,
and personal touches as could fit. Cillian Jacob and Raychel Solomon made strong leads as Danny and Sandy. Not only did they nail the
characteristic 50s style, they brought some serious acting chops. Even die-hard fans of the movie would have to admit that at times it
feels like a playlist rather than a story. Not so here; Cillian and Raychel had the audience rooting for the couple to hook up.
More than that, the surrounding cast held their own against these heavy hitters. Clara Ffrench-Davies was a righteous babe as the tough,
sarcastic Rizzo, turning a conventionally rough-voiced, glowering role into a queen of exuberant snark. Christian Sumstad as Kenickie
soldiered through all three nights despite nearly losing his voice.
Rattling off all the highlights would turn into a summary of a fair chunk of the show. A few random selections could be the hilarious Eden
Little as the quirky, bouncy Jan; Anthony Padinjarathala as Eugene, the school nerd and the butt of every practical joke; Barg Kennedy
as Roger knocked it out of the park with Mooning; Lily and Molly Fitzmaurice as stern principal Miss Lynch and her clumsy intern
Blanch; Mark Laherty as smooth-talking DJ Vince Fontaine, who was excellent, fabulous, very attractive; and, of course, Chemistry
teacher turned rock god Mr. Jones singing Beauty School Drop-Out.
All of this would have been a bridge too far without the guidance of those in charge. Mrs. Maher ran the whole operation as producer.
Mr. Denniston as director helped turn a series of scenes and silly songs into something that felt like a story. Mrs. Keappock knocked it
out of the park as musical director, giving everyone something to have stuck in their heads until they committed some horrible act of
violence and the great work of our choreographer, Keith Hackett, all contributed to making the show the tremendous success that it was.
Credit must also be given to the myriad of technicians, carpenters, painters, helpers, students happy to take a class off, and otherwise,
far too numerous to list here, that set up the stage, props, costumes, microphones, and a brilliant backdrop of the famous car, Greased
Lightning, in all her glory.
If you walked into Grease with an open heart, it would give you the best musical in a month of Sundays. Well, okay, maybe a week of
Sundays. If you were so inclined, you could use some horrifically outdated 1950s slang to praise it, such as hoola boola, solid, or a
wop bam a lu mop a wop bam boom. Only the most stone-hearted cynic could fail to be entertained by this rousing production.

The Senior Girls had a very successful season this year winning both
the League and the Cup. This would not have been possible was it
not for the brilliant commitment of every member of the team both
at training and also in the matches.
We began the season on a good note by beating Kings Hospital in
a very competitive friendly match. We also made a good lead in our
League and Cup by winning against Kilkenny College, The Abbey,
Loreto Wexford and St. Declans Kilmacthomas. We were
victorious in the League Final against Kilkenny College, winning 2-1
against a very strong side.
We were lucky enough to have the enthusiastic support of all our
classmates for the cup final against The Ursuline as it was played
at home. It was a tough match, 0-0 at half time, but a smashing goal
in the second half by Emily Hermon granted us the win.
We would like to thank Mrs. Hughes, Mr. Greene and Mr. Butler for all their help, not only this season, but over the last few years as well,
to get the team up to a high standard necessary for the wins this year.

Hockey Trip
to Belfast
On Wednesday the 27th of
November we went on a
hockey trip to Belfast. Mr
Butler, Alistair, Ms Hehir and
Mrs Hughes organised and
accompanied this exciting
trip.
We stopped in Wesley
College, Dublin for a hockey
match and some lunch. We
were split into three teams.
We were determined to be
victorious over Wesley and
the boys team defeated our
opponents, 5-3. We were
delighted with the victory.
The girls unfortunately lost
their match. However, the
mixed boys and girls team
won their game. After the
matches we all went to have
It was a great year for the Newtown Minor Boys Hockey Squad. We showed great commitment at training with all the squad training twice a week, every week.
We worked hard on and off the pitch, training hard with great team spirit and a desire to win. We also ate well and stayed fit through the holidays!
After two months of intensive training, we finally reached our first match against Villiers. We played great, holding the match scoreless, until half time. We
battled hard and fought to the end but unfortunately we lost by a single goal in the the last minute. Goals came from Fionn OLoughlin and Ross Joyce. We
were heartbroken but kept training.
Our next game was against Midleton in the A-cup semi-final. We were well prepared and focused. Unfortunately we didnt play to our potential. We lost by two
goals to a very good Midleton team. We were devastated because we knew we could have beaten them. Our only goal came from Josh Allen. We want to

RUGBY

RUGBY
JCT Rugby
We started our season with an away game to Bandon seconds. We were quite rusty after the summer and we lost
28-14. It was a good game to bring some new members into the squad in Fionn OLoughlin, Liam Murray, Ross Joyce, Josh
Allen, Eoin ODriscoll, Tom Owens and Dylan Crews. Our second game was against Clonmel High School. We played much
better rugby against a much more physical side and we won 23-14.
In the J.C.T. qualifying cup we beat Midleton College in the quarter-finals in a replay in Midleton after drawing 10-10 on
home turf the previous week. It was a low scoring game, with Sean Phelan scoring a try from a set play with ten minutes
remaining. Midleton gave it their all for the last few minutes but we kept them well away from our try line. St. Clements
were next in the semi-final and we were lucky to get a home draw. Having trained hard for the couple of weeks building up
to the game, we thought that we were well prepared. From the few minutes before kick-off it was obvious that it was going
to be a tough game. St. Clements, as summed up by a spectator, were monsters. They were physically bigger, heavier
and stronger than our team in every possible way but due to their lack of organisation, we gave them a great game. The
final score was 26 -12. We were losing 7-5 at half-time and after the break, for a period of fifteen minutes, we fell apart.
After Christmas we took part in the Mungret Shield and we beat St. Annes Killaloe 10-7. With a lot of players missing,
the team that played that day stepped up to the task. Josh Allen, in particular, had an excellent game when he came
on. John Jephson, our pack leader, scored the winning try that day. We drew St. Clements in the semi-final of this cup
but unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be, they pulled out due to coaching issues. Our squad now back to full
strength with players such as Robbie Harvey and Sholto OBrien returning to the squad.
In the build up to our final we went for a practice game against Roscrea who are a Division One Leinster Schools team.
We started off strongly with Cian Hogan scoring underneath the sticks, followed shortly by Sean Phelan with a great try
from a long run down the blind side. Roscrea then got a couple of breaks against us and we let them in for easy tries. Late
tries from John Jephson werent enough to catch up to Roscrea again. The end score was 35-28 in favour of Roscrea.
Our final was played on the twenty sixth of March in Rockwell College in Tipperary. It was a great experience to have
reached a final but we just werent up to the standard of rugby that our opposition were. Everything seemed to go wrong
for us and it seemed as if we played the whole game in our own twenty two, defending constantly. If a few 50/50 balls had
gone our way it might have been a closer game but that unfortunately didnt happen. The game finished 32-3. There are
nicer ways to finish up a season! We would like to thank Mr. Ashmore for training us all year round, for organising practice
games and having a lot of faith in a small team.

Irish Water Safety Swim and Lifesaving classes continue to be an enjoyable, and beneficial, part of our after school sports
programme. This year has seen us progress further in our ambition to become fully qualified pool and beach lifeguards. We
have improved our swim/stroke technique, advanced our lifesaving skills and our knowledge of basic life support .
Our newest team member, Claire Murphy in First Form, said At first I wasnt sure if I liked it, but now, I really love it. I am a
better swimmer now and a faster one.
Thank you to our IWS Instructor, Ms. Coady, for training us and for making our classes so interesting every week. Lifesaving
involves a lot of swimming, learning a lot of new skills and is a lot of fun. It is also a brilliant way to keep fit. We would
encourage everyone that has an interest in swimming and in learning how to save lives to join us next year.
The Lifesaving Group
Well done to each member of our swim and lifesaving group on their achievements this year. Each has improved their skills
and must be commended on their commitment to class. To do what you love never feels like work.
Sincere congratulations to Niamh Robertson on receiving our Commitment to Lifesaving Award for 2014. Niamh is a credit
to our group, she is dedicated and approaches everything with enthusiasm and a smile, this award is thoroughly deserved.
Well done Niamh.

Dear Friends, Students, Old Scholars, Parents and members of the Newtown community,
As mentioned in the Principals introduction, this year has seen an important and memorable
change for Newtown School. For some time there has been a growing sense of the need to make
our school more accessible so that more students could choose to come to learn and grow in
our school community. The downturn in the economic climate in Ireland and a change in the
grants extended to our sector of schools became the impetus for us to hold discussions with the
Department of Education and Skills to explore alternative funding streams for the school.
As a result of discussions with the Department and following wide consultation, Newtown
School will enter the Free Education Sector from September 2014. Effectively this means that
there will be no tuition fees for students between 9am and 4pm. We will continue to charge
fees for boarders and for day students taking part in extra-curricular activities in the afternoons
and at weekends as well as staying for prep. This move was fully supported by the school
community and by the owners of the school, Munster Quarterly Meeting.
As a result of this change which provides us with support from the Department of Education
and Skills, we can be confident that the school will continue to educate students in the Quaker
tradition for many more years to come. Another major positive arising from Newtown School
being part of the Free Education Scheme is that we may be able to gain assistance to capital
projects in the educational areas of the school through the Department of Education and Skills
Our focus is on providing the best possible experience for our students and one of the challenges
we face is to upgrade and maintain the non educational facilities including the boarding and
sports facilities to the highest standards. We will be looking to all those who have a interest in
Newtown School to assist us in our endeavours and support us as we enter a new chapter in the
schools proud history.
Our aim is to establish a means of wider communication with all of the greater school
community and in particular the many Old Scholars who continue to have great affection for
Newtown and who have already expressed an interest in supporting the school as it starts on this
new and exciting journey.
With best wishes
