Last Thursday, 3rd April, Students from CPC'S Ember team, TY and 5th year were selected to attend the Le Cheile Student Symposium in Knock, County Mayo. 

The day began with a welcome and reflection, followed by Mass in the Basilica with other Le Cheile schools across the county. We then had lunch outside in the sunshine! The afternoon consists of various workshops for students to engage in with other schools.

Students enjoyed a great day at Knock Shrine as it was an opportunity to reflect and learn about the story of Knock.

Well done to  Amy Schmelter, James Meehan, Mikey Arthur, Katie O'Donnell, Ailbhe Cashin, Weronika Stepniak , Sarah Brennan, Gemma Snell Fox and Ruby Butler

We were delighted to hold our first ever #SameChance Walk in conjunction with AsIAm, Irelands National Autism Charity to celebrate Autism Acceptance Week. 1st Year, 2nd Year, Transition Year and 5th Year Prefects all took part in this really successful event. Students and staff alike enjoyed getting out into the sunshine and raising awareness for this really important cause.

Thank you to all who took part but a special thank you to Ms Kelly and the 5th Year Prefects for guiding the walk, to Brian Byrne for the wonderful photographs and to 6th Year student James Reid for providing the fantastic drone footage. See you all again next year!

It was a fantastic day exploring many career paths along with enjoying the thrill of competition. 

Dear students,

please remember to put all rubbish in bins provided, both on the school grounds and when in Kilcullen and beyond. I was surprised to hear a report that a small number of CPC students were seen dropping litter when in Kilcullen. Let's all keep our school and our town litter free.

Thank you.

Our Erasmus exchange continues with unforgettable experiences in Namur and Brussels. On Day 2, we soared above Namur in the cable car, taking in breathtaking views of the Meuse River and the historic citadel. The adventure continued in the nearby town of Huy, where we explored its charming streets through a fun and challenging treasure hunt. We visited a Gothic church with impressive stained glass windows.

Today we took the double-decker train to the heart of Europe—Brussels! We began our visit at the House of European History, where we discovered how Europe has evolved over the centuries and we reflected on the future of Europe as well as the challenges we face. Next, we visited the European Parliament, where an Irish delegate gave us interesting insights into EU decision-making. We entered the Hemicycle, the main debating and voting chamber where plenary sessions take place and we saw the interpreting booths and learned that there are 24 official languages in the EU. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a walking tour of the city, with plenty of time to admire the stunning Grand-Place and indulge in Belgium’s famous chocolate. This evening, we're excited for the soirée with our Belgian partners!
