It would be great to see all 2nd years showing their best effort and behaviour today and indeed everyday.
Well done to students who have engaged so well since January in this Challenge and have contributed positively to their class and school.

1. LEO BRENNAN AND TOM BRENNAN BURSARIES
Noel Clare, our former Deputy Principal, visited 6th Year classes on Thursday to talk about the Leo Brennan and Tom Bermingham bursaries. These bursaries are available to 6th Year students in CPC progressing to PLC courses and Higher Education courses. If students are interested in applying for a bursary please email bursary22@gmail.com by Friday 3rd June, simply stating an expression of interest in making an application, and include a telephone number and home address. The bursary committee will then forward an application form which does not have to be filled out until after the Leaving Cert. The bursary will be awarded following confirmation of offer and acceptance of courses.
A number of factors are taken into account in selecting successful applicants.
2. Kildare County Council Education Bursaries Scheme for 2022

Further details regarding the online application process are provided in the attached document.

Subject choices 5th year 2022/2023

Good evening everybody,
Subject Choices for students going into 5th year were given out in school today and no doubt have arrived to your homes this evening. If your child was not in school today for any reason they can call to me tomorrow afternoon to collect their subjects.
Every effort was made to ensure that as many students as possible received their choices. The vast majority of students received their first 3 choices and well over 90% of students received their first 2 choices. Where this did not happen it is either because two subjects a student wanted to do ended up being on at the same time (this is determined by student preferences for subjects) and/or that the preferred subject was oversubscribed or so undersubscribed that it is not possible to run it.
Below are the subject codes that show the option blocks for 5th year next year. So you can see that if a student wanted to study Construction Studies and for example Physics, this would not be possible as they will be on at the same time. These option blocks are created based on the preferences of the students and accommodate the maximum possible preferred subject combinations. Languages appear on the lines but have always been compulsory in CPC (with the exception of those exempt).
Option Block 1
Biol, Con St, Phys, Art, Fre, Ger,.
Option Block 2
Geog, Hom Ec, Comp Sci, Mus, Fre, Ger
Option Block 3
Ag Sci, Acc, Geog, Biol, Tech, His
Option Block 4
Biol, Bus, DCG, Chem, Ag Sci, Fre
What can seem like a very simple request of a change often is not straightforward at all as classes may be full or require a change from a subject you are happy with. However, where a change is possible it will be looked at. Please email (parent or guardian) me at joeleonard@cpckilcullen.com by Monday 23rd May with details and I will see what is possible.
