The Good News keeps on coming! Huge congratulations to present and past students of Ms Lamont's Transition Year Green Schools Module, who have been working hard for the past three years towards obtaining a Green School Flag for our school. Committee members from the current TY class and 5th year class met with the inspector recently and are delighted to announce that they have been awarded the Green Schools Flag. The main initiative that they presented to the inspector was the weekly recycling of cardboard and paper from classrooms. The students collect, on average 6-8 bags of recycling each week, which would otherwise go to landfill. The also spoke about their Christmas Card recycling initiative and their recent purchase of bottle/can recycling bins that have been placed in the litter black-spots of the school.
Congratulations to all of the students involved. This is a huge achievement for them and for the school. Well done!

5th year
Margaret Davin visited the 5th Year Economics class on Thur 26th April. An accountant who worked for a number of Irish companies (Kerry Group, Dunnes Stores, DIT, Smithwicks, HRI) and held senior financial positions in each, Margaret spoke about working in the business / corporate world. She informed the students about some of the opportunities and challenges involved in such a career. It was a very worthwhile learning experience for the students. We really appreciate Margaret taking the time to visit our school.

The CPC School Digital Champions travelled to KUKA, a robotics firm in Dundalk, on Tuesday, writes Mr Dennehy. They were introduced to Robotics and the programming that supports them. There was ample time to gets hands on with fixed robots in slow mode and what they are capable of when protected. The collaborative robotics are powerful but responsive to humans. The Ibots were really cool to operate. The use of VR in industry was probably the most spectacular. We were hosted together with school from Donegal and Monaghan.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated a gift filled shoe box to our Shoebox Appeal last November. The shoeboxes made their way to Eastern Europe and Africa and were given to children who otherwise wouldn’t receive any gift. You all helped to change a child’s world.
