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.

December 8th

The Board of Management remains keen to support the school ethos and in previous years this has included facilitating a later start time for classes on certain holy days that fall on school days. The later start time is to allow staff and students attend local mass in Kilcullen at 9.30am. As such, the Board has sanctioned a later start time for class on December 8th. We would kindly request that students do not come into school that morning until classes begin as soon as possible after the 10 o'clock bell. If any student has no option (e.g. travel arrangements etc) but to be in school before this, supervision will be in place around the school, but the 9 o'clock class will not run. Kind regards J Leonard
