Our Meitheal Leaders recently attended their Meitheal Graduation Ceremony in Askea Church, Carlow. Meitheal Co-ordinator Robert Norton and Bishop Denis Nulty acknowledged the 6th Year students' participation in the leadership programme and commended their great work with 1st Year students throughout the year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Meitheal Leaders for their wonderful work in mentoring the 1st Years and to praise them for having such a positive influence on their younger peers. The Meitheal Leaders offered invaluable support to our 1st Year students, helping them settle into secondary school and organising social events for them to enjoy with their peers.
Wishing the Meitheal Leaders every success in their future endeavours and in any leadership roles they may hold.
Ms. M. Murphy

We had a fantatsic few days with our TY students on our adventure trip to Carlingford this week. A big thank you is owed to the other teachers who traveled on the trip, and the many folks at Carlingford Adventure Centre who did a fantastic job feeding and entertaining the lads.
The students were a credit to themselves, the school and their families.
Enjoy the Easter break!
Reminder to all TY students travelling on our trip to Carlingford this week (19th - 21st March)
Students need to be in school for 8.30a.m on tomorrow morning.

I am also looking for TY students to help collect money in Naas town on Friday 22nd March from 10a.m. for Daffodil Day. I need as many names as possible.
This might particularly suit students who are unable to travel to Carlingford.
Please let me know via email if you can help out with this good cause - sc@naascbs.ie
Our Junior Football Team play Mullingar CBS in the Leinster Final on Tuesday 19th March. The match is at 12.30 in Dunganny, Co. Meath. Best of luck to all the players and to their managers Mr. Joyce, Mr. McGuinness and Mr. Cullagh.
During the February Mid-Term Break, 58 students from 4th and 5th year visited the Pontedilegno - Tonale ski resort in Northern Italy. They stayed in the beautiful village of Ponte Di Legno and a huge thank you goes out to the nine teachers who accompanied the lads.
Over the course of the week, the boys worked eagerly to try and improve their skiing. Their enthusiasm was highlighted by the instructors who were hugely complementary of the behaviour, passion and humility that the lads had shown. The stellar level of effort in their 6 hour ski lessons culminated in a visit to the panoramic Presena Glacier. Known as Paradise to the locals, this ski area is an outstanding 3000 metres above sea level!
The behaviour and attitude from the boys away from the slopes was impeccable throughout their time in Italy which made it a wonderful experience for everyone. The lads are lucky to be in a position to be a part of such a memorable trip so we hope that they appreciate the effort their parents have put in to get them there. The feedback from students and parents has been hugely positive.

Congratulations to 6th Year students Luke Mulvihill and Ruaidhri Doyle Lynch and 5th Year student Conor McGrane who won the regional round of the Senior Applied Maths Quiz on Thursday.
