We were delighted to welcome Garda Sergeant Tom O'Donoghue and Garda Jon Brien to the school in recent days. Every class in the school received a visit and informative discussions were had about cyber bullying, Coco's Law, the misuse of drugs and alcohol, along with encouraging our students to be a positive influence in their local community. We are very grateful to both gentlemen for being so generous with their time and knowledge. There is no doubt that our young people have an important role to play in maintaining Kilcullen as a safe and welcoming community and having these conversations with the local Gardaí are invaluable. 

Huge congratulations to 5th year student Finn Cowper - Gray who made his League of Ireland debut this week.

He moved to Bohemians football club at the beginning of the season and this was his first appearance with the senior Bohemians team.

We wish him the very best going forward. 

Eight students represented CPC at the Le Chéile Knock Student Symposium. 29 Le Chéile schools, comprising of 300 students, attended. 

Throughout the day, students from CPC, spent the day with students from the other Le Chéile schools sharing ideas and forming new friendships. 

The day started with a reflection led by Claire Kilroy (Ethos Leadership Officer, Le Chéile Schools Trust CLG), followed by some icebreakers. 

In their groups, the students then attended three different 40 minute engaging workshops. 

After lunch, everyone attended mass in the Parish Church on site. We all returned to St. John’s Hall for some excellent presentations from two different schools about their Ember Teams and a concluding reflection, again led by Claire Kilroy. 

Thank you to Le Chéile for the invitation to attend. We look forward to next year already.
