Dear parents/guardians,

1st year students received their subject options this afternoon.

You will appreciate that with over 140 students and 7 subjects, it is a logistical challenge to try to accommodate the preferences of the students. Invariably some subjects will be oversubscribed and we are limited by the class capacity numbers as well as physical and human resources.

We have worked extremely hard to try to get the best outcome for all students. I am delighted to say that every student has been given one of their top two choices. No student is being asked to study their 6th or 7th choice.

Most students will be happy with the outcome but there could be some who would like to be added to a waiting list should a place become available in a particular subject. If this is the case please send an email to 1styearoptions@cpckilcullen.com

Please only use the email address above and please note that I will only contact you if a change becomes possible i.e. if somebody opts to leave one of the full classes.

For anybody who was absent today, parents will be able to view the updated timetable through VsWare before Tuesday.

I wish all of our students continued success in their studies.

Kind regards

J Leonard

Both our 5th and 6th year Leaving Cert Applied classes enjoyed a lovely lunch in Fallon's last week. 

Students enjoyed three choices of main course followed by a lovely dessert. 

They were then given a tour of the kitchen and an insight into the running of a busy restaurant.

Our LCA classes study the Hotel, Catering and Tourism Industry with their teacher Ms Mairead O Malley. This opportunity gave them a unique insight into the food service industry. 

We were also delighted to gather together to celebrate the fantastic results our 6th year students received recently.

SNA's Amy Mulligan and Paula O Connor also joined us for this lovely lunch and we are always very thankful for their continued dedication to and support of our students. 

A lovely time was had by all!

As part of the 5th Year Senior Cycle Induction Programme, the peer mentoring session between 5th and 6th year students took place today.

Each Leaving Cert subject had a table with a number of 6th year students available to discuss with 5th years any questions they had about the subject, to seek study advice, get project guidance and also to get advice in preparation for their Christmas Exams. 

Thank you to both of our Guidance teachers Ms McDonnell and Ms Duffy for organising this session for our 5th year students. Thank you to our 6th year students for giving up their time to support 5th years. 

Overall there was a very positive supportive atmosphere and great discussion was happening at each table. 

Well done to all involved.
