The Ember Team (23/24) hosted a bake sale today at break and lunchtime to raise funds for Barretstown.
Thank you to all who supported this great cause.
On Friday 10th of May the CPC Sports Awards took place in the Assembly Hall. This was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate all of the sporting achievements of our students this year. It was wonderful to see the hall so full of young people involved in sport in Cross and Passion.
We were delighted to welcome Irish Olympic Athlete Thomas Barr to speak to the students and present trophies to award recipients. Thomas spoke about the importance of participation in sport, the importance of teamwork and how vital it is to recognise success! All of us would like to wish Thomas the very best of luck in Paris for the Olympics 2024!
Congratulations to all award winners and particular congratulations to male sports star of the year Finn Cowper-Gray and female sports star of the year Sarah Kenny.
Congratulations to CPC students Rory O'Malley, Sean Cahill, Andrew McCaffrey, Oisín Monks & Conor Brannock on winning the Leinster U-15 Youths School Cup last Sunday in Donnybrook. Having already won the Leinster Premier League this makes the team Leinster double champions. Well done lads!
Two of our past students recently joined us to talk to our 6th Year students about the Transition to College.
Kaytlyn Walsh (Class of 2020) and Ben Cahill (Class of 2023) provided invaluable information to our students on how best to adjust to Higher Education. Throughout their presentations they spoke about commuting to college and also about moving away from home and sourcing accommodation. They also gave our 6th Years some insight into the difference between homework in school and college assignments and spoke about how lectures and tutorials are dissimilar to classes in school. They also gave advise to students on how to settle into college life and how best to manage their time. It was a great opportunity for our 6th Years to hear this information from a students' point of view.
Both Kaytlyn and Ben also gave our students some tips on how best to revise in the lead up to the Leaving Cert exams and how to manage their time once the exams start.
We are very grateful to both past students who gave their time to call back to CPC to provide advice and support to our 6th Year students
The TY Community Care class completed their final community action today. The group headed off down to the bridge of Kilcullen armed with buckets of water and cloths. They spent their community care hour getting started on washing down the railings of the bridge. Well done to all involved today!
The Community care class completed many actions/initiatives and fundraiser over the year. Great amount of positivity was spread through the school and wider community. Well done to the whole class.

A huge well done to our TY Prefects who spent the morning weeding and planting the flower beds outside of the school entrance today.
They worked throughout this mornings rain and have done a fantastic job.
We are very proud of all the hard work our Prefects have shown this year and how positively they have contributed to their school community.
