Dear Parents / Guardians ,

A reminder that 1st , 2nd and 3rd Year students are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school . (Please see attached PDF ) 

Our experience in school of the no phone rule has been very positive . It has led to enhanced student well being and improved behaviour during break times and in class . 

We ask for your support in ensuring that your son does not bring a phone to school, as there has been some slippage in recent weeks . 

Many thanks ,

Kind regards,

The Management Team  

Dear 3rd Year Parents & Guardians,

Many of your sons may be considering applying for a place in Transition Year for 2025/26, while some may want to continue straight to 5th year.

It is very important that you make an informed decision on this choice. Tomorrow (Tuesday) evening I am hosting an online talk for parents & students to provide details and information around Transition Year here in Naas CBS. This includes a breakdown of the year, and all you need to know with regards to the application process.

Hopefully it can give a better insight into TY and all that is involved in the year. I will also meet all of the 3rd year groups individually to give them information on the year.

The following is the link to attend this talk:

Naas CBS is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

The PC of both Naas CBS & St Mary’s College, Naas are organising a Gala Concert in the Church of Our Lady & St. David, Naas Friday 5th of May @ 8pm.   The concert will feature Soprano Celine Byrne, Tenor Patrick Hyland and The Baldonnel Singers.

Tickets for this event will be limited and we are giving parents/guardians, of both schools, an opportunity to purchase tickets through the schools payment systems (CBS app and SMCN Easy Payments Plus) from the 17th April.  The tickets cost €30 each.

The costs in holding this event are quiet substantial and therefore we are asking if any Business would like to sponsor this event to contact emma.toner@gowanauto.ie (CBS) or juliannemcelligott5@gmail.com (SMCN) for details.

Proceeds of this concert will go to both schools.

Please see the attached PDF.

Dear Students /Parents / Guardians ,

Please see the message below from The Parents Council :

The Parents Council are organising a Duathlon for the students which will be held at Naas Racecourse on Friday 12th May 2023.  Last year’s Duathlon was a huge success with over 300 students taking part.

The cost of running an event like this is quite substantial and therefore we would really appreciate if any Business would like to sponsor this event.  The Business name will be printed on the students' Duathlon T-Shirts and also photographs and an article regarding the event will be published in the Leinster Leader. 

We will also be looking for parents/guardians to help as marshals on the day.

Please contact Emma Toner emma.toner@gowanauto.ie or

Louise Halligan  louise.halligan@gmail.com for more information.

See attached PDF for more information.

Registration and payment for the Duathlon will take place after Easter via the school app . 

Kind regards,
