Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope you are keeping well. I am writing to you with regard to the Mock Exams which will take place in the coming weeks (Junior Cycle 1st - 9th Feb, Leaving Certificate 29th Jan - 9th Feb, Leaving Certificate Applied 6th - 9th Feb).

The mock exams provide an important objective and independent assessment in each subject as the exam papers for the mocks are set and marked by teachers outside the school. A small number of teachers set and correct their own exams as it suits the subject better. This is factored into the cost.

This gives each student a very accurate idea of how well their study and revision is progressing. In this regard students establish clearly the areas in each subject where they need to focus. It helps teachers also to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching and learning of their subject.  

Arising from the cost of buying the papers and paying for their correction, the cost is: 

• €110 per student in 3rd year
• €130 per student in 6th year
• €70 per student in 6L 

This needs to be paid by Monday 12th February 2024 at the latest please.

Many thanks to all who are continuing to support the CPC Fundraiser Lotto.

The next draw takes place tomorrow evening - will we have our first Jackpot winner? 

Don't forget that all players in the January 25th draw could win the prizes in the bonus Thank You Giveaway - including Taylor Swift VIP Tickets, €1000 Holiday Voucher and Bruce Springsteen Tickets.

Congratulations to our weekly prize winners over Christmas and since we returned: Phil O'Leary, Eleana Keatley and Michelle Keogh. Pictured is Quin collecting Eleana's prize. Well done to all!

A reminder that the parents association have organised a clothes collection to take place this coming Saturday, January 20th. You can drop your bags of unwanted clothes to the bike shelter at the top of the avenue between 10 - 4pm. Thank you
