On Monday our TY’s set off in the sunshine to visit Dublin Zoo. In December Dublin Zoo received €3 million in Government funding to cope with the loss in income due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Zoo has been a fantastic resource for many year groups in our school in the past as students engage in conservation education. The TY’s did a self guided tour of the Zoo where at each habitat they read about animal care, so that the animals at Dublin Zoo live healthy, fulfilled lives. Students also learned about the Zoo partnering with conservation projects worldwide and in Ireland, to help animals to thrive in their natural habitats. A great day was had by all!!

Congratulations and well done to the class of 2021 who received their academic and prestigious awards last Friday. We began proceedings with a moments silence as a mark of respect for our late colleague, friend and teacher John Duggan. John in the past organised the awards night and always enjoyed celebrating our students successes. The following were our academic award winners: Ann Prendergast Literary Award-John Davis, Gaeilge-Fergus Sheehy, Maths-Michal Astran, Geography-Darragh Beere, History-Matthew Delaney, Business Studies-Cian Territ, Accounting-Cian Aird, Biology-Jack Reddy and James Carroll, Physics-D.J O'Brien-Doyle, Chemistry-Aaron Thornton, DCG-Gary Keane, Construction Studies-Eddie Critchley and Adam Forrestal, Engineering-Marc Ramsbottom and Noah Fingelton, Home Economics-Murdo Anton, Agricultural Science-Patrick Corcoran, Art-George Simirnoff, French-Muhammad Khan, Spanish-Konrad Gradowski and L.C.V.P-Simon Fingelton. Our current Meitheal team were presented with a Cross-pen and certificate, sponsored by the Parents Council. Our Meitheal Leaders were commended for the hard work they have put in over the past year working with our first year class groups. Each year we have a ‘special recognition’ award. This year Ms Williams presented Ciaran Leonard with accolade for his artist talent and contribution to the world of art. Ciaran has been the winner of the national Texaco art competition, a first for our school. He has also been taking commissions for artwork for the past number of years. Ms D Carroll presented her senior debating team with trophies to celebrate the group winning out the Laois schools debating contest. Two current students, Jack Delaney and John Davis, as well as two past students Thomas Dunne and Cian MacGearailt made up the team. Finally, the afternoon was rounded off with the presentation of our prestigious perpetual trophies. This year the ‘Overall sports player of the year’ went to Paddy Hosey. Paddy is considered by his peers and coaches as a quiet leader who does most of his talking on the pitch. A dual player who plays both football and hurling for his club and school is well respected and looked up to in both circles. An all round sportsman with exceptional and a super attitude. The ‘Martin Conroy Award’ is given to a student who has been most helpful and giving of himself to the school community during his time in the CBS. This year Christian Kenny Oman stood out as being a young man who personifies what it means to be a gentleman. Our ‘From Each his Best’ award is aptly name after our school motto. This award is for the student who has consistently applied himself throughout his time in the CBS. This year’s award went to Afeeze Ganyu for his work ethic and application. Lastly, our most anticipated award of ‘Student of the Year’ was presented to Richard Okpala. This young man is a gleaming example of hard work and dedication. Richard is a courteous, diligent young man who has been an excellent role model to not only his peers but also the entire student body here in St. Mary’s. All 6th years were treated to pizza in their English and Irish classes as they watched proceedings being streamed live from the GPA. Thank you to all who made the event an success!

Meitheal Leaders Farewell

Our Meitheal Leaders were enjoying the beautiful weather with a surf lesson in Tramore yesterday. The boys co-ordinator Ms D Carroll organised the day out as ‘A thank you’ to the lads for all they have done for our 1st years this year! It has been an extremely tough year for all year groups. Our Meitheal Leaders have worked harder than any previous groups in order to make our first years feel connected to their school community and their class group. The Leaders missed out on the essential training each Meitheal group receive each year in Castletown. They instead engaged in a one day crash course from a previous Meitheal Laeder, JB O’Byrne. However the way in which these boys have lead and supported the most junior members of our school community has been commendable. We wish the boys every success in the future and to once again thank them for everything this year.
