A number of students of 4D participated in the painting of the Kilcullen bridge railings. They used woodstain to coat the railings at the top of the bridge. This activity is in connection with their community care class. In the time they had during their class, they completed one side of the bridge! Well done. 

Thank you to Noel Clare and Kilcullen tidy towns for providing us with the materials and task. 

All students involved enjoyed painting in the sunshine this afternoon and helping the community of Kilcullen. 

Congratulations to Abigail Coates, one of our past pupils from the class of 2018 who recently achieved 1st place in Ireland and 16th in the world out of 13,004 students who sat the ACCA Financial Reporting exam. Well done on a fantastic achievement! We are all very proud of you in CPC!
