Dear 3rd Year Parents & Guardians,

Many of your sons may be considering applying for a place in Transition Year for 2024/25, while some may want to continue straight to 5th year.

It is very important that you make an informed decision on this choice. Next Tuesday evening I am hosting an online talk for parents & students to provide details and information around Transition Year here in Naas CBS. This includes a breakdown of the year, and all you need to know with regards to the application process.

Hopefully it can give a better insight into TY and all that is involved in the year. I will also meet all of the 3rd year groups individually to give them information on the year.

The following is the link to attend this talk:

The Junior Rugby team had a fantastic win on Thursday defeating St. Andrew’s College in the first round of the Father Godfrey Cup. 

Well done to the Senior Soccer Team on reaching the Midlands League Final. The lads won their semi-final against PBS Newbridge 3-0 with Ross Ward scoring a hat trick. The lads also have a Leinster Cup Last 16 tie to look forward to!

Mr. Fitzbibbon

The new boxing club in Naas CBS was very popular before Christmas and training resumes this Thursday after school.

Mr. Stephens

Our school choir and musicians visited Craddockstown nursing home last week to sing Christmas carols for the residents. It was a lovely afternoon for all involved and the choir were delighted to share their musical talents and some Christmas spirit with the community. Many thanks to Mary Darker for allowing us to perform for the residents. We wish all the staff and residents in Craddockstown a very happy Christmas!

Ms. McCabe and Ms. O’ Donovan

Well done to all of our TY students who have successfully completed their Christmas Portfolio Assessments.

Grades and feedback are now available on VSware.

The Year Head comment includes a breakdown of the results achieved, interview feedback and the overall student result. Well done to all again.

Wishing everyone a very happy, peaceful & safe Christmas!

All the best,

On Tuesday, the 12th of December, the Naas CBS community came together in a spirit of joy and unity to celebrate the much-anticipated annual Christmas Carol Service. The event was a heartwarming occasion, highlighting the values of Christmas and the Advent season.

The highlight of the evening was the remarkable performance by our exceptionally talented students, who not only showcased their beautiful voices but also demonstrated their musical prowess by playing various instruments. Their dedication and skill brought the Christmas spirit to life, filling the venue with enchanting melodies and festive cheer. A special note of appreciation goes to the readers who skillfully led the service, adding a profound touch to the celebration. Their eloquence and commitment contributed to the overall success of the event.

The success of the Christmas Carol Service wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our staff members. Their behind-the-scenes efforts, from organising the logistics to supporting the performers, played a crucial role in making the event a memorable one.

As the service concluded, the Naas CBS community would like to extend warm wishes for a Happy Christmas to everyone. The Christmas Carol Service served not only as a musical performance but also as a reminder of the importance of coming together as a community to celebrate the festive season and its values.

May the holiday season bring joy, peace, and happiness to all members of our wonderful community.

Ms. Prendiville

Best of luck to all Transition Years starting their portfolio assessments tomorrow.

This is a link to the timetable

Please arrive 30 minutes before your interview and go to 2/20 for your pre-interview assessment.

Full uniform must be worn.

It is very important that students have completed their Projects + Goals Sheet, displayed this on their portfolios and submitted the published link to their Digital Portfolios before their interview.

This is done through their Tutorials Google Classroom.

Students must ensure that all project work is visible on their portfolios (especially their 6 graded pieces). Check the sharing settings of each project.

Please be prepared for you interviews - be on time and look over project work beforehand to be familiar with it. Most importantly enjoy the experience - be enthusiastic, be talkative and give it your best!

Wishing you all the best of luck!

Any issues contact me immediately.

Kind regards,
