Reminder for Leaving Certificate Students and Parents Re Candidate Self Service Portal
Created : 03 Feb 2022, 2:35 PM

Dear Parents / Guardians , In 2021, the State Examinations Commission (SEC), as part of its digital strategy, introduced the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) as a one-stop-shop for a range on online services for Leaving Certificate candidates. The CSSP will be used again for the 2022 Leaving Certificate so that candidates can confirm their examination entry details and access other services such as results and appeals. The portal will open at 12 noon on Thursday 3 February for candidates to confirm their subject entries and levels. It will remain open for this purpose until 12 noon on Friday 11 February. During this time Leaving Certificate candidates will be required to register and create their portal account, confirm their subject and level entry details, and add or delete subjects from the records presented to them. Leaving Certificate Applied Year 2 candidates will be required to register and create their account only. The portal will be pre-populated with the data entered by schools through the PPOD October returns process. This means that only those subjects which candidates have been studying in schools will be displayed on the portal. When the portal opens candidates will have the opportunity to add any subjects that they are studying outside of school or to delete subjects if they are no longer intending to present for examinations in particular subjects. Candidates will not be able to add additional subjects after the portal closes on 11 February. When the candidate entry confirmation process has concluded on the CSSP, the SEC will provide schools with a report of the entries for the candidates in the school for review and conformation Selection of levels Candidates should be advised by their teachers to select the level at which they are currently studying each subject. The SEC will use this information for planning purposes. We will also provide this information to schools through a turnaround document for review. Candidates will be asked to confirm their levels later on and will be permitted to change their levels in the written examinations on the day of the examination, as in previous years. Access to the Portal Leaving Certificate candidates will access the portal at www.examinations.ie from today Thursday 3 February at 12 noon. A CSSP Before You Start Guide 2022 will be provided which candidates should read before commencing the process. To access the portal, candidates will need the following: : their examination number (The SEC provided these to schools before Christmas) : Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN will be the first 4 digits of the candidate’s Personal Public Services Number (PPS number) : an email address and mobile phone number to which the candidate will have regular access to over the coming months. Examination Fees 2022 The Minister for Education has decided that there will be no fees levied for the 2022 examinations; Leaving Certificate, Leaving Certificate Applied or Junior Cycle. Schools are asked to ensure that candidates, parents and guardians are advised that the fees for the 2022 examinations are being waived. Kind regards, The Management Team

Congratulations to the School of Sanctuary Committee who received their School of Sanctuary Award on Friday 24th November in Maynooth University. This is a significant achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff, students and parents in creating a safe and inclusive environment for all.

Receiving recognition from 'School of Sanctuary Ireland' is well-deserved and underscores the school's efforts to ensure that everyone in the community feels welcome and supported. Creating an environment where everyone is valued and respected, regardless of their background or circumstances, is a vital step toward fostering a positive and inclusive learning space.

 

A heartfelt thank you to 'School of Sanctuary Ireland' for the prestigious title and to Maynooth University for their visit. Special recognition goes to the School of Sanctuary Team for organising this fantastic day. A big shout out to students Evan Dalton, Jamie Moore, Vova Batkov, Conor Morgan, Jakub Bojda, Jack Byrne, Alamin Rahman, Fionn Clarke, Seán Burke, Seán Fields, Stephen O’Rourke, Craig Mudzagada, Ethan Collins and Evan Noone.

ISTA Senior Science Quiz All-Ireland Final

After the disappointment of losing out on a place in the final after the regional rounds in November, we got a call to say that we were one of the highest scoring runners-up in the regionals and had in fact qualified for the final.  
 
So the Naas CBS team travelled to the Stanley Quek Theatre in the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute on 2nd December to compete in the Senior Science Quiz All-Ireland Final.
 
The competitors were all very closely matched.  There were only 12 points between the first 30 places at the end of the competition.  A few tricky questions in the early rounds left Naas CBS with too much to do to catch the early leaders. We finished 25th out of 41 places.
 
Commiserations to the team involved: Ruaidhrí Doyle-Lynch, Barney Hennessy and Billy Caulfield. You did us proud gentleman. 
 
It was a great experience for the students and teacher involved.  We are looking forward to sending another team to the Regional Competition next year.
