5th and 6th Year students enjoyed a motivational talk by John Lonergan, ex-governor of Mountjoy Prison. He spoke about looking after the four pillars of wellbeing- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and he shared inspirational stories to highlight the importance of good decision-making and taking personal responsibility. Many thanks to John Lonergan for taking the time to visit Naas CBS and speak to our senior students. Thanks also to the Wellbeing Committee for organising such a worthwhile talk as part of Wellbeing Week.

Naas CBS hosted St. Patrick's Cathedral Grammar School and Synge Street CBS for a series of pool games in Round 1 of Senior Volleyball yesterday. All three matches proved to be exciting and competitive. Despite losing the first set, Naas CBS found their rhythm to beat St. Patrick's 2 sets to 1 in the opening game. Synge Street proved too strong for St. Patrick's in Match 2 which set up a deciding final match with Naas. The final match went to a deciding third set with a spirited Naas side losing out 15-13 in an exciting contest. It was a great achievement to once again compete in schools' volleyball having not lined out in almost 20 years. The team will now prepare for Round 2 of the pool games which includes a local derby with Pipers Hill Community College. Special thanks to Ms. Fleming for her time with the team. Mr. Stephens

Our TY students braved the elements over the past two nights camping on the edge of the Blessington Lakes. They spent the day doing various outdoor activities before making their way across the lake to the campsite where we had dinner, a campfire and some fun and games! The lads were excellent and a credit to themselves and the school. Some very tired and damp heads going home this morning! A huge thanks to the teachers who travelled with us and minded the lads - Ms. C.O'Brien, Ms. Ward, Mr. O'Neill, Ms. Phibbs, Mr. Whelan and Ms. Prenderville. See attached images.

Congratulations to our 3rd Year Art Students from last year (now TY & 5th year students) who worked on a mural for the Naas Tidy Towns Committee. The students were commissioned to work on the piece during their last term. The brief required that the mural was to have a sustainable theme and be made entirely from bottle caps. Working with a design by Conn Cronin, they completed the project and the lovely artwork has now been erected at Naas Harbour (adjacent to the library) for the whole community to enjoy. Well done to all involved.
