A good deal of preparation is required from students, please check in with your sons to see their online portfolio beforehand.

We were delighted to celebrate our 1st Year mass last week. It was a fabulous occasion for the students to be welcomed into the school community. Many thanks to Fr. Robert for facilitating the mass. Thank you to the Music and R.E. Departments.
Ms. Meaney
Well done to the 1st Year Soccer Team who beat Maynooth Post Primary 3-2 in the Midlands League. The team also won the preliminary round of the Leinster Cup recently with a 5-1 win over Kilbeggan.
Ms. Kilcoyne and Mr. O' Neill
Huge congratulations to the Naas U-14 Football Team who were crowned Kildare U-14 Division 1 Football Champions on Sunday. After a keenly contested game in tough weather conditions, Naas pulled away in the second half to beat Castledermot on a score line of 1-14 to 0-8.
Most of the team from Naas and surrounds are also 2nd and 3rd Year students in Naas CBS. Many are dual players who in some cases played five or six matches within the same week, so deserve huge credit for this win. Lead by a great group of mentors and parents, under the leadership of a fabulous coach, Jack O’Connor, it’s onwards and upwards for this group of players!
Well done to our U-17 Soccer Team who beat Piper's Hill 4-0 on Friday. It was a great team performance with the goals scored by Euan Cowzer (2), Sean Óg Boland and Sean Murphy.
Mr. Brecknell

Congratulations to Donal Shaw (L.C. Class of 2023) who achieved 100% in Physics and 99% in Biology in the Leaving Certificate this year. Donal is now studying Engineering in UCD. He is pictured with his teachers Ms. C. O’ Brien (Physics) and Ms. M. Murphy (Biology) at the recent Leaving Certificate Awards Night. It was great to catch up with Donal and congratulate him on his exceptional Leaving Certificate results particularly in these science subjects. We wish Donal all the best in his studies at Third Level.
