First Year Adventure Day May 12th

A great term two and the adventure of term three... We have had a very successful end to the second term on the sporting front. Our historic first Rugby trophy was acknowledged with a victorious assembly taking place in the Complex. Mr. O' Grady briefed the Year on all our future International Rugby Stars in our midst. Special thank you to Mr O'Grady for managing the team. Perhaps not so historic our Midlands Basketball victory which took place on Thursday 7th. While it may not have the historic value of the rugby win given our very long tradition of major national awards in Basketball but it is an important marker nonetheless. Senior winners start early when it comes to schools competition. Ms O Malley and Mr Wheeler are congratulated on their expert management of the team. The word is that there is great expectation about the prospects for the Soccer team who Mr Gibbons assures me will see greatness. A special word to the First Year Camogie team who have been busy laying foundations for future success under Brain Cody's appointee, Mr Prendergast. Brian Cody recently admitted that the Camogie team in CPC is one of the finest and Mr Prendergast is reported as having said we ain't see nothing yet! The other exciting news is that the First Year Adventure day will take place on May 12th. We will leave early 8 30am and will return by 4 00pm. The Kilkenny Adventure has been the choice of venue given its activity oriented day. The assembly last week brought to the fore that this group has been unable to meet as a large group in its first year in CPC. So this will be a huge opportunity to ‘throw off the shackles’ which have been associated with what are now hopefully being remembered as the Covid years. We will hopefully celebrate a ‘post covid’ last term in an active and fun manner. It promises to be a fairly exhilarating experience and the stuff of great memories. The cost of the adventure day will be €45 which will include transport and the cost of the payment facility. In keeping with the ethos of the school we would ask that if you are in a position to give a little extra we can add support for those who might find this expense to be worrying. We don’t want participation being threatened by expense. And I would ask that if you are concerned about expense in this regard or for all future expenses please do contact the Year Head denisdennehy@cpckilcullen.com payment are now being taken in the Shop on the school app. Payment will be accepted until Thursday April 28th. This is my first experience of working with the school app for this kind of event. As of today 24% of the year group have paid using the shop on the school app. So that's a great start and proof it works! if you experience any difficulty please contact me.
Happy Easter to the entire CPC community
