The 5th and 6th Year Art Students enjoyed a wonderful trip to see 'Andy Warhol: Three Times Out' at the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin on Wednesday 15th November. The students were given a tour of the exhibition by an excellent guide and saw some of Warhol's most famous pieces such as his Marilyn Monroe screenprints, Brillo boxes and Campbell's Soup Cans. Warhol is one of the most important and recognisable artists of the 20th Century and all the students thoroughly enjoyed their visit to see his iconic work.

Naas CBS Finish in Joint 2nd Place in the ISTA Senior Science Quiz

Two teams from Naas CBS competed in the Kildare Regional Final of ISTA Senior Science Quiz last night which was held in Maynooth University.
 
23 teams competed. The Naas CBS teams finished in 6th Place and joint 2nd Place at the end of the final round. But that isn't the end of the story.
 
Only two teams could qualify for the All-Ireland Final and St. Mary's, Edenderry won so they were through automatically. This left Naas CBS in a tie-breaker with Clongowes Wood to decide who would take the second place in the final. 
 
The tie breaker question was "How long, to the nearest second, does it take for light from the sun to reach Earth?'  
Naas's answer was 8 minutes and 19 seconds.  Clongowes answer was 8 minutes and 20 seconds
The correct answer is 8 minutes and 20 seconds!
 
we are gutted to lose out on a place in the final by 1 second!
 
Well done to six of our senior students who represented Naas CBS so well and achieved such high scores in a very high standard competition.
 
Team 1:  Luke Mulvihill, Ben Early and Adam O'Loughlin  (6th Place)
Team 2:  Ruairí Doyle-Lynch, Barney Hennessy and Billy Caulfield (Joint 2nd Place)

Senior Irish Debating

Well done to the Senior Irish Debating Team who competed in the Comórtas Uí Phiarsaigh debating competition for English-medium schools, in St. Wolstan’s Community School, Celbridge. The competition is run by Gael Linn and aims to promote to use of the Irish language with a focus on relevant and topical issues. The team consisting of Luke Mulvihill, Cillian O’ Brien and Joseph Ryan argued in favour of the motion:

 

‘Ba cheart go mbeadh smacht iomlán ag tuismitheoirí ar mheáin shóisialta a bpáistí faoi ocht mbliana déag’ (Parents should have full control over the social media of their children under 18 years of age)

 

The standard of Irish displayed was phenomenal and the team performed very well against  St. Wolstan’s Community School Celbridge, Scoil Mhuire Trim and Newbridge College. Unfortunately they narrowly missed out on a place in the next round. The team put on an excellent display of Irish and debated to a very high level.

 

Maith sibh!
