Some of our music students visited Craddockstown nursing home just before the Christmas break to sing songs for the residents and staff. The students made great friends with the residents and in particular they remember singing a version of 'Red is The Rose' along with a very musical resident who was lovingly known as 'Spud'. Spud wasn't afraid to take a solo and sang for everyone that day too. They loved their time there and really can't wait to get back again. Here is a link to a video from the day - youtu.be/Dp8mQZVMtWU During these difficult times, we would like to lend our hand and support to all the nursing homes in our community. Tonight, Ms. Heffernan will be singing on The Mount Sion Choir's Facebook Live special at 8pm - a programme which has been dedicated to nursing homes. She will sing 'Over The Rainbow' and has dedicated her song to our friends in Craddockstown. We are thinking of you all,

Following the notification this week by the Minister of Education regarding Junior Cycle Assessment and Reporting, a 3rd Year Junior Cycle Report will now be produced by the school and available for students by Friday 29th May. The grade for each Junior Cycle subject will be determined by a number of factors reflecting the work and engagement of our 3rd Year students. The results of in-house examinations (Summer & Christmas exams) from 2nd and 3rd Year, the Mock examination results, CBA results and overall engagement with classes will form the grade for each subject for every student. A reporting document will also be forwarded to parents and students via the school app when the results are live on VSware to clarify grade descriptors and the new Junior Cycle language contained within the report. Information about 1st, 2nd and 5th Year reports will be posted on each subject's google classroom over the coming days. Please ensure that your son engages with this forum over the coming weeks. Many thanks, The Management Team

In light of today's press release regarding the Junior Cycle, the Minister for Education has now issued a set of Guidelines on Assessment and Reporting for schools. All assessment for Junior Cycle will now be concluded by the end of May. 'In 2020, the Junior Cycle learning achievement of students will be recognised through a specific form of certification designed to meet the current, exceptional circumstances presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. For each student, certification will involve two elements: • A State Certificate of completion of Junior Cycle from the Department of Education and Skills. Students should receive a State Certification that they have completed three years of Junior Cycle education in a number of subjects. This certification will be provided by the Department of Education and Skills. • A School Report setting out the learning achievements of students in Junior Cycle. Students should receive a written report on the broad range of learning that they have achieved in each subject at the end of Junior Cycle. This assessment of their learning will be provided by their teachers. Schools will have autonomy in how this assessment is to be arrived at and the format in which the report is provided.' Further information regarding Junior Cycle assessment and reporting will be communicated via the app and through the various subjects on Google Classroom over the coming days.

Dear students and families, Hope this message finds you well. At a time of challenge, frustration and uncertainty it’s nice to bring you a little bit of positive news. Next Tuesday we are submitting for planning to Kildare County Council for our All Weather Facility. This we believe will complete the missing cog in the wheel of excellence that we want to provide for our students in Naas CBS. A huge thank you to our Parents Council for their commitment, drive and ingenuity in helping to bring us to this stage. We will keep you informed as further developments take place. Many thanks and take care, Ben Travers
