6th Yr end of Pre-Mocks Trip to Carlow
Created : 13 Nov 2024, 7:09 PM

Our 6th yr students enjoyed a well earned break today after completing their pre-mocks yesterday. They travelled to County Carlow where they took part in a leisurely walk along the River Barrow leading into the picturesque village of Leighlinbridge. Here they were welcomed to the Lord Bagenal Hotel with a hot drinks reception on arrival followed by a tasty hot lunch and a Krispy Kreme donut for dessert. Students then stopped off in Carlow town for a spot of shopping before heading back to CPC. Wishing all 6th years the best in the coming weeks as they begin the next phase of their 6th yr journey in CPC.

1st year subject preferences

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope this email finds you all well. 
 
It is hard to believe that we are at that stage of the year already where we ask your son/daughter to indicate their preferences for the subjects they will continue with following the taster programme in 1st year. As you know, the students have been trying out subjects on a rotational basis since they joined us here in CPC and they are now in the final rotation having experienced all subjects. This is important as it allows students to experience the subject for a short time to see if they like it and it allows their teachers to tell them about the subject and what might lie ahead.
 
Each year we do our best to accommodate students with their preferences. However, please do note that some subjects will be oversubscribed. It is really important that care is taken to rank the subjects in order of preference so that hopefully students get a subject that they will be happy with. Once subjects are allocated there will be very little possibility of changes due to the resources available to us. 
 
From today, 13th November, you will be able to select subject preferences through VsWare. When you log in to VsWare, on your child's profile, click into 'Student Options'. Follow the instructions fully to select subject preferences for your son/daughter. Please note subject choices are not allocated on a first come first served basis - take time to talk to your son/daughter so that the correct preferences are entered. Please fill all preferences by 19th November at the latest - if no preferences are selected then they will be assigned for you. Please complete the subject choices in order of preference. That is, the subject you would most like to do is put in 1 and the subject you would least like to do is put in 7. You must fill a choice for each number 1-7. Click Confirm when finished.
 
A video link to explain the selection process on VsWare is available here https://vsware.wistia.com/medias/nr3tejf165 and a read along guide is available here https://support.vsware.ie/parent-app-notes-options
 
Thank you for your cooperation with this process.
 
Kind regards

Stand Up Awareness Week took place from November 4 to 8, 2024. This week is an opportunity to make spaces safe and supportive for LGBTQ+ young people. 
In CPC last week, second-year students participated in a workshop hosted by Shout Out. This is a registered charity dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals through personal storytelling and educational programs. 
TY students held a bake sale to celebrate inclusiveness at CPC. 
Together, we can create spaces where LGBTQ+ young people feel safe, equal and valued.

Erasmus Preparatory Visit

As part of the Erasmus + programme, Ms. Murphy visited our partner school, https://bmmgesamtschule.de/ in Krefeld, Germany over the midterm break. The 3 day programme was designed as a preparatory visit to plan educational and cultural activities for our upcoming 6th year Erasmus exchange next month. Ms. Murphy was very impressed with the facilities and teaching methodologies in the school. The school promotes a Montessori pedagogy, encouraging student-led, self paced and self organised learning with the guidance of teachers. Some parts of the school are new builds and refurbishments as well as an interesting student built eco house with plenty of green spaces for outdoor learning. It was a very valuable visit to meet the students and collaborate with teachers at the school to finalise the itinerary for our outgoing exchange.
