Our 5th Year Leaving Cert Applied Students had a very successful day today running their own Pop Up Cafe - The Bigger Brew! 

The Cafe was extremely busy from the time it opened at 10am until it closed at 2pm! Both students and staff enjoyed the beautifully decorated room and the delicious menu.

Well done to all the students who worked so hard today,  their teacher Ms McDonnell and Georga Dowling of FoodSchool who has provided support and advice throughout this process. This was definitely one of the most successful 5th Year LCA Enterprise Tasks to date and there is no doubt that students will receive excellent results for this assessment.

Everyone can be so proud of what they achieved.

Amazing work!

We were delighted to welcome Erasmus students and teachers from St. Ursula-Schule, Geisenheim, Germany, to our school yesterday. As part of our Healthy Lifestyles project, students will spend the week with their Irish partners collaborating on digital portfolios using BookCreator, while sharing ideas on well-being and fitness. They will also have a chance to take part in PE lessons and play some pitch n putt. A key focus of our project is healthy eating, and students will exchange ideas on nutritious meals, sustainable food choices, as well as  traditional Irish and German cuisine. 

Day one was a great success, with everyone getting to know each other and settling into their Irish host families. Today, we explore Dublin and visit Croke Park to showcase our national sports. We are grateful for the Erasmus+ programme for making this exchange possible and for giving us the opportunity to learn, share, and grow together.

We are delighted to share with you a video created by our Leaving Cert Applied Students about the Benefits of the LCA Programme from a Students Perspective.

We hope you enjoy it!

There was great excitement and hard work today as our 5th Year Leaving Cert Applied students designed and created their own Pop Up Cafe The Bigger Brew as part of their Enterprise Task.

The Cafe will be open to students during breaktimes tomorrow in room 30 serving hot drinks, toasties, cookies and more.

Well done to all the students in 5A and their teacher Ms Elaine McDonell for what will no doubt be a very successful event.

A huge thank you to Georga Dowling for all her advice and support throughout this process.

Please visit the Cafe and support 5A with their Enterprise Task.

Well done all!

To the entire school community,

please ensure that you park responsibly in the local area. Kilcullen Gardaí have been in touch to report the frustrations of local residents with cars associated with the school parked irresponsibly and, in some cases, illegally. Please remember that parking on footpaths is unsafe and illegal. When parking it is essential that access for emergency vehicles, bin trucks etc. is possible without any obstruction. 

While everybody would like to avoid fines etc., more important is that we remember that CPC is part of the community and I would ask that cars associated with anybody attending, visiting or dropping off/collecting from CPC be parked in a safe, legal and considerate way.

If your son/daughter drives their own car please speak with them about this.

Thank you

Our 1st to 5th year students enjoyed a lively and engaging performance today from up and coming UK band Absnt Mind.

The members of the band also spoke to the students about the looking after their mental health and being safe online. They shared their personal journey and the challenges they faced while in school. They reminded students of the importance of having hoobies, doing things they enjoy, and of speaking about their feelings openly. 

A very enjoyable experience for all!

A gentle reminder to the parents and guardians of TY students that the Senior Cycle Pathways webinar takes place this evening at 7pm.

An email, containing the link to register for the webinar, was sent to parents and guardians at the end of last week.

Our TY students are also welcome to attend the webinar.

Kind regards,

Elaine McDonnell and Grainne Duffy
