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.

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!

Please see the most recent CPC sports updates:
 
- Last week the Senior Volleyball team competed in Portlaoise and won two of their matches on the day - in doing so qualified for the semi final stage this week. The team will travel to Stepaside Educate Together to play for a sport on the final. Best of luck to Ms McMahon, Ms Jones and the squad.
 
- Junior Boys GAA had a great, comprehensive win over Mountmellick today in the shield semi final, which now puts the lads into a final next week. Well done to all the team involved and to coaches Mr Gibbons and Mr Walsh. 
 
- 1st Year boys soccer team had an agonising semi final defeat today at home to Maynooth P.P. In what was a great game, the lads were very unlucky to lose out 4-3. Well done to all the squad on a great year and thanks to Mr Regan for all the hard work with the team.

Please park responsibly

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!

Belgian Exchange, European Adventures & Grease Lightning!

This week, we were thrilled to welcome students and teachers from our partner school in Namur, Belgium, as part of the Erasmus+ programme, https://secondaire.providencechampion.be/. It was a fantastic opportunity to build lasting friendships, strengthen our vital European connections, and share meaningful experiences. A highlight of the visit was our exciting day in Dublin, where we explored essential European values and Ireland’s influential role in Europe. At Europe House, students took part in a dynamic and interactive role-play activity to learn about the work of MEPs and how decisions are made in the European Parliament. This enriching experience deepened our understanding of democracy and Europe’s shared future. 

We also visited the iconic Long Room in Trinity and the impressive Book of Kells, followed by an insightful tour of the Dáil and Seanad to learn about Ireland’s political system, history, and democratic processes.

After a busy day in Dublin, we took our seats for the long-awaited school musical GREASE, where our Belgian guests enthusiastically applauded their CPC exchange partners and were incredibly impressed by the outstanding talent of all involved – as always!

While we were sad to say goodbye to our friends today, we are very excited for part two of the exchange, which will take place at the end of the month. We are eagerly looking forward to visiting the European Parliament in Brussels and learning more about the impressive EU Headquarters.
