Senior Boys GAA Championship - CPC Kilcullen vs. Tullow CS. Match Report

Match Report written by Ross Brannock of TY GAA Future Leaders. It was a horrible day for football. The day after storm Barra caused havoc around the country. It was a cold, wet and windy December morning on a very soft pitch in Kilcullen. This meant there was very little hope of seeing any fancy flowing football for this Senior Football Championship Match. However, only one team could get through the group and neither CPC nor Tullow CS were prepared to back down from playing the fixture. Only one of them was going to progress through the group stages to the South Leinster Quarter Finals. It was winner goes through, losers are out. CPC started much the brighter, they seemed up for the occasion. Their midfield of Conn Kileen and Lorcan Murphy won the throw up and immediately CPC got the first score of the game through full forward Cormac Barker. Within minutes they pushed on and scored a goal with a left footed strike from wing forward Sean O'Toole. The first 15 minutes continued in this vein and CPC went into the first water break dominating with a comfortable lead. The water break was the break in momentum that Tullow needed and they used this to great effect by coming out afterwards with a lot more composure. They scored a very well worked point from the first play post water break. CPC struggled to get the ball out of their own half for the next 15 minutes and if it wasn’t for 2 fine saves from goalkeeper Oisin Barker, Tullow would have gone in at half time in the lead. The sides did go in for the halftime break all square on a scoreline of 1-05 to 0-08. A scoreline CPC would have been raging at after their first 15 minutes. The second half began with CPC winning the throw up again. The half time team-talk from Mr. Mann and student manager Sean Furlong obviously refocused CPC. After a few minutes of piling on pressure, Tullow caved and conceded a second goal to CPC with Lorcan Murphy the finisher. The rest of the quarter was very much to and fro with plenty of turnovers in the opposition's half but both teams managed to tack on another score. The score at the second half water break was 2-07 to 0-09. With the pitch now getting slippier, points were getting harder and it was clear that both teams were going to go for the juggler. Tullow did just that at the start of the 4th quarter with a very well worked goal. They were back into it, just a point down. CPC responded quickly though with a goal of their own from full forward Cormac Barker who finished the match top scorer on 1-05, all from play. This seemed to kill Tullow which allowed room for Jamie Duggan and Kyle Corcoran to tack on points to close the game out. The game finished 3-09 to 1-10 for a hard earned CPC win. It was a very enjoyable match given the conditions and it puts CPC through to the Quarter Final of South Leinster were they will face Ardscoil Rath Iomghain. Well done to the whole panel. CPC abu.

TY students in 4E completed a Chinese Art Workshop where they learned how to create a zine with some interesting Chinese characters. They found out the meaning of the characters and learned how to pronounce them. The students engaged well with the activity and enjoyed the opportunity to practice characters and illustrations producing these colourful zines.

Dear parents/guardians, subject choices have now been assigned to your son/daughter and you can log in to VsWare to see on their timetable which subjects they have. You can appreciate that with such a large number of students some subjects were heavily oversubscribed. This is why we asked you to choose the preferences very carefully. I am pleased to tell you that all students have been accommodated in receiving at least one of their first two choice subjects - this is quite something given the numbers involved. Many students have received their top two choices, with many more students receiving two of their top three choices. All students have secured two of their top four choice subjects. No student has received their fifth, sixth or seventh choice. I trust that the vast majority of students will be happy with the outcome. I understand that some students might be a little disappointed not to get their absolute top preferences but unfortunately there will not be a possibility of changing subjects unless a student comes out of a subject. There are department of education limits to the number of students permitted in each class. If you wish to add your child's name to a waiting list for a subject please let me know through admin@cpckilcullen.com but please be aware that changes are not as simple as it may seem and I will be in contact only where a change is possible. Kind regards J Leonard
Past Pupil, Cocreator of the AstraZeneca vaccine and Oxford University Professor Tess Lambe joins us for College Awareness Week

We were delighted to welcome Professor Tess Lambe who spoke about her educational journey and career in addition to answering many questions about Covid19 and vaccines. Professor Lambe emphasised the importance of realising that you will learn more from making mistakes, to persist in doing what you enjoy and always ask questions. Professor Lambe also spoke about the importance of excellent communication. Results don't speak for themselves, they need to explained in a way that shows people you care. Professor Lambe also explained to us that the purpose of the vaccine is to keep people out of hospital and alive. Vaccines will not prevent people being unwell, perhaps having to stay in bed for a few days and are not expected to do so. The job of the vaccine is to prevent serious illness and death. Huge thanks to Mr Denis Dennehy for organising this opportunity for students to engage with Professor Tess Lambe and to Deputy Principal Katriona Harney, Dr Eleanor Higgins, Student Council members Conor Gale and Ethan Fogarty for their assistance. We are very grateful to Professor Tess Lambe for taking time out of her busy schedule to speak with us.
