A Celebration of Culture and Inclusion

The annual Celebration of Culture and Inclusion will take place on Tuesday 11th March at 7pm in the Millstreet Community School library/canteen.  The evening will feature stories, poems, dancing, music presented by students and a chance to taste food from countries around the world. Irish traditional music, song and dance will play a prominent role in the event. As in previous years, there will be a special guest in attendance. Admission is free and all our welcome to what is a wonderful community celebration.
 
The evening forms part of the school’s Language and Culture Week, which is co-ordinated by the Transition Year Global Citizenship Education class (TY GCE), with the support of school management and staff.  Here are details of other related events planned for the run-up  and during Language and Culture Week:
1.     Groups of the TY GCE class will be engaging in peer education with younger classes on a range of topics. These include, gender equality and unconscious bias, ‘showing racism the red card’ and ‘Nora’s Case’. The latter is based around the story of the young girl in London during the Second World War who had to be evacuated to the country during the ‘blitz’ bringing just a small suitcase with her. The link is made to those who are forced to leave their homes in different countries in 2025.
2.     MCS Olympics: This involves students in every tutorial taking part in activities during their PE lessons, along with the chance to take part in a chess and draughts tournament.  They compete in teams and each team represents a nationality that is present in the school at this time. The overall winning team/country will receive medals to mark their achievement.
3.     Global Kitchen: 1st year Home Economics students will have the chance to choose and then prepare dishes of traditional food from countries represented in their class.
4.     The World in our School quiz: this is a chance for the whole school to test their knowledge about the nationalities present in the school – national flags, borders, landmarks, celebrities, traditional food will be among the topics.
5.     Art Competition:  This is open to junior classes and the theme is We Work Better Together.
6.     The 1st years will have the chance to take part in a workshop run by Sports Against Racism Ireland (SARI) called Football and Discrimination.  SARI have visited us on three previous occasions and the workshops have proved very popular.
We are grateful for the ongoing support of WorldWise Global Schools (WWGS) for their ongoing support for our school’s work in the area of global citizenship education.

Millstreet Community School – “A Celebration of Culture and Inclusion”

The Celebration of Culture and Inclusion is a chance to recognise and celebrate the different countries and cultures that are represented in our school and community.  The evening will feature song, dance, music, poetry and the chance to sample food from many different countries, including Ireland. We will be welcoming a special guest for the event, Dr Manizha Khan.  Dr Khan and her family are originally from Afghanistan.  She is a dentist by profession.  In fact, she was the dean of a dental school in the city of Herat in Afghanistan but she and her family fled to Ireland because their lives were under threat from the regime in the country. Apart from being a dentist in Cork she is also a School of Sanctuary Ambassador and we are delighted she will be able to join us.
Admission is free.  Please feel free to join us for what is sure to be a memorable night.

Aubane Social Club Christmas Diary

Aubane Christmas Day Morning Climb at 10.30 am on Monday 25 December – all proceeds from the Climb are in Aid of the Freeland Projects in Capetown. Local woman Maureen Buckley will travel to Capetown in March 2024. This is Maureen’s second visit and the money donated will go a long way in the building of a rescue centre. She saw first hand the poverty and lack of resources and provisions when Maureen was there in 2022. The team included plumbers, carpenters, painters and many more. They filled their suitcases with all the necessary equipment to carry out the work and left everything there when they returned home. We have so much and they have so little so everything is a huge help. Please Support this very worthy charity.

Christmas Around the Fireside a night of stories, songs and togetherness at Christmas around the open fireside in candle light at Aubane Community Centre happening Thursday 28 December at 8.00 pm All welcome.

Candlelit Tales

‘We want to let these stories live again, and we need you to listen’
On April 27th Millstreet Culture and Wellbeing Association welcomes a very unique event to the Cultúrlann Newmarket,
Candlelit Tales are a storytelling group that specialise in immersive retelling of Irish myths and legends in the oral tradition, with live music to accompany and enhance every moment! The group were founded by Cork siblings Aron and Sorcha Hegarty.
The legends are told as they were written, they will make you laugh, maybe cry, and maybe even roar!
As we celebrate the Spring transforming into Summer, upon the eve of Bealtaine, Candlelit Tales will regale you with the old tale of the ‘Fury on the White Strand – the Battle of Ventry’.
Na Fianna were faced with a terrible fight against the King of the World, and his monstrous army. A tale with as many twists and turns as the southwest coastal roads around Dingle where this tale took place!
Tickets are available online at
Tickets can also be reserved by contacting 086 251 1812 or emailing <email>
Doors open at 7pm
If you would like to check out their podcasts, please listen here – https://candlelittales.ie/podcasts/
