It's Engineers Week in schools across the country and earlier in the week Mick Lavelle and Sean Hanley from local Engineering company Murphy Ireland (Infrastructure Specialists) visited CPC. 

Mick and Sean spoke to our Senior Cycle students about Engineering as a profession, the type of work they do and the various routes into Engineering.

They also informed our students about the Graduate Entry Programme on offer with Murphy Ireland as well as the Civil Engineering Apprenticeship Programme being offered in conjunction with ATU, Sligo.

We appreciate the time given by both Mick and Sean to provide our students with such a valuable experience.
Le Cheile Day 2024- The Gift of Gratitude

Today, Wednesday 6th March 2024, marks Le Cheile day. The theme for this year is 'The Gift of Gratitude'. 

At reception we have a display which includes some inspirational quotes of gratitude, benefits of gratitude and a tree whereby students in Religion classes were invited to write the things that they are grateful for. 

Ms Groome's and Ms Wall's 5th year Religion classes hosted a successful coffee morning for the staff of CPC. This included hot drinks and sweet and yummy treats. Staff and students shared a lovely morning break.

1st and 2nd years were encouraged to write a letter to a person they are grateful for and why. This was a great opportunity for them to reflect on the people who have meaning to them. 

Students were also asked to fill a google forms and name a teacher/staff member they are grateful for and why. Staff received these lovely words this morning. 

Staff also got into the spirit of gratitude by expressing their thanks to each other. 

Random acts of kindness are encouraged today to all in our school community! Do/say something nice for someone who means a lot to you. 

Thank you to all who were involved in today's activities. A day of thanks, appreciation and feel-goodness was evident throughout the day! 

Happy Le Cheile Day to all!

TY students had a fantastic day at the LogisTYcs event where they learned about the many opportunities in Logistics and Supply. Aoife McNamara fashion designer spoke about the circular economy and the need to be conscious consumers. A panel of people with experience in the industry spoke about their pathways to employment. Students enjoyed visiting stands and using simulators to experience driving trucks, forklifts, cars and motor bikes. It was a very valuable experience.
