Daniel Downey just made the podium in the All Ireland Finals!
Warm but windy conditions didn't stop Dan taking the 800m race on. Leading from the front and breaking up the pack, Dan took on a quick pace for the first lap. Holding strong he finished in a brilliant 3rd place in a pb time of 2mins 8secs.
What an end to his first year in the CBS. Well done Daniel! #proud #fromeachtheirbest
Best of Luck!

Design a New School Crest Competition Results

Earlier this year we opened the above competition to students and staff in a move to create a school crest which better represented what the CBS Portlaoise is about-our origins in Portlaoise, our values and activities. We had a prize of €200 to be shared by the main contributors to the final design. This week we presented two 5th years, Danh Culliton and Padraig Delaney, with cheques of €100 each for their contributions to the new design. It is currently with the crester and will be introduced on this App when we have the final product. Thank you to everyone who also contributed.

Last week our Green School committee celebrated raising their Green Flag. The committee were awarded for their work on Biodiversity within the school. Our members have worked hard to create an environment to harness biodiversity in our school environment. The students have grown their own plants, created bug hotels & bird feeders as well as growing flowers for the bees. We would like to thank each member for their hard work and the teachers who made it possible, Ms. Redmond, Ms, Kerrigan & Ms. Heffernan.

On Friday last, we had a doggie day in Solas. A few of the teachers and SNA’s brought in their furry friends to help alleviate some exam stress for our students. What a gorgeous idea!
