Mock exams - important information and payment details

Dear Parents/Guardians, I hope you are keeping well. As notified also by email, I am writing to you with regard to the Mock Exams which will take place in February (Junior Cycle 14th-18th, Leaving Certificate 7th-18th). The mock exams provide an important objective and independent assessment in each subject as the exam papers for the mocks are set and marked by teachers outside the school. A small number of teachers set and correct their own exams as it suits the subject better. This is factored into the cost. This gives each student a very accurate idea of how well their study and revision is progressing. In this regard students establish clearly the areas in each subject where they need to focus. It helps teachers also to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching and learning of their subject. Arising from the cost of buying the papers and paying for their correction, the cost is: €110 per student in 3rd year €130 per student in 6th year €70 per student in 6L This needs to be paid by Monday 14th February 2022 at the latest please. Please pay Mock Exam Fees through the link you receive through the school app. If for any reason you are unable to do this please contact the school office to arrange an alternative method. There is an option to pay in full or in two installments. Unfortunately, while medical cards may cover the cost of State Examinations the same facility is not available for the mocks. The school can not cover the cost of mock exams so it is essential that payment is received in order to facilitate correction for your son/daughter. Kind regards J Leonard Principal

Dear students, parents and guardians, Schools are being asked to observe a minute’s silence in memory of Ashling Murphy, who will be laid to rest tomorrow. The 23-year-old teacher was killed on Wednesday evening as she ran by the Grand Canal in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. Her funeral mass will take place tomorrow at 11.00 am. To coincide with the funeral, the INTO, ASTI, FÓRSA and the TUI have asked that students and teachers in schools across the state fall silent in her memory. "All schools across the country are being asked to observe a minute’s silence at 11am on Tuesday, 18 January in memory of Ashling Murphy,” the unions said in a statement. "We are encouraging schools to fall silent to remember a beloved primary school teacher, taken far too soon, and show our solidarity with her friends, family, colleagues and pupils as Ashling is laid to rest." As there are no classes tomorrow, I am asking all students, parents and guardians to please pause in whatever you are doing tomorrow at 11am to observe a minute's silence. The staff of CPC will observe a minute's silence together during our training. With thanks J Leonard

Tomorrow Friday is a big day for Emma and Charlotte the awards ceremony will take place tomorrow afternoon. Regardless of the outcome the girls are winners! The have acquitted themselves well with the judges. The exhibition is a virtual on line event this Year 2022. The girls were interviewed by the judges in the online format and the judges were certainly impressed by their knowledge of the subject matter and in particular way by their confidence in making their pitch. Mr Leonard has previously made the podcast of their interview with Brian Byrne available in the school app. Well worth the listen. We hope to broadcast some of the award ceremony beginning at 1 00pm. We wish them well tomorrow afternoon. We expect that this will not be their last visit to the BT Young Scientist Exhibition. Looks like they may have 'contracted the Science virus' for which their is no known antidote. Professor Tess Lambe sends her congratulations and interestingly enough she was a Young Science Entrant
