Congratulations to 1st Year students Noah Tyrrell, Fionn Whelan, David Healy, Cillian Curry-Byrne and Bill Doyle who are part of the victorious Blessington U-13 Football Team. Blessington beat Rathnew to win the Wicklow U-13 A Championship Shield Final on Sunday. Well done lads!

It was great to have Mark Donnelly, founder of HUH Clothing, in to speak to our TY group this morning.

Mark talked about his own personal battles with Mental Health including OCD, anxiety, self-confidence, weight issues and body dysmorphia. He talked about business, digital marketing, his time in the USA, his experiences within the GAA and also the hospitality industry and how everything from start to finish has led to the present day and HUH Clothing.

Huge congraulations to our students and past-pupils on the Naas Minor and Senior Hurling Teams who won their respective county finals yesterday. A special mention to 6th Year student Matthew Kelly who captained the Naas Minor Hurling Team in their 3-16 to 2-18 victory over Maynooth.

Well done to all our singers, musicians and readers who performed at the Edmund Rice Schools’ Trust (ERST) Principals’ Conference in Johnstown House Estate, Enfield last week. The theme of the conference was partnership. The students put together a mix of reflective and uplifting readings and songs to symbolise the values of ERST and to show the meaning of partnership in our communities. 

It was great to hear our students coming together to showcase the values of the Edmund Rice Schools' Trust (ERST) through music and readings on the theme of promoting partnership. These kinds of gatherings can be a powerful way to inspire and remind everyone of the importance of working together and fostering a sense of community. It's also a testament to the talents and dedication of the singers, musicians, and readers who participated in the conference. Celebrating and promoting such values can have a lasting impact on the school community and beyond.

We extend our gratitude to ERST for their excellent care during the event and we sincerely hope they enjoyed our performance.

Well done to students in 4A, 4B and 4C who participated in a dance workshop yesterday as part of the P.E. programme in T.Y. 

Mr. Stephens 

Our annual Open Night took place yesterday evening. There was a great buzz around the school as management, teachers and students welcomed prospective students and their parents to Naas CBS. A sample of activities from various subjects and extra-curricular activities were on display. 

Thanks to all staff for facilitating such an informative and engaging Open Night. Thanks also to the students who volunteered to be involved in Open Night and especially the 5th and 6th Years who led the tours around the school.
