Welcome back to St. Mary’s CBS Podcast! On this episode, we’re going to have a throwback to the TY musical! We are going to the viewing party on Monday to see our hard work live so in the lead up to this we are bringing you a musical centred podcast! We interviewed all our main cast, interviewing the girls before the musical, and the lads a month after. Make sure to stick around to the end! ️‍



1st Year Soccer reach Leinster Shield Final

Our 1st year soccer team booked their place in the Leinster Shield final with a hard fought 4-3 win over Colaiste Eanna, Rathfarnham in Clane FC. ️

CBS couldn’t have asked for a better start with their first attack seeing Eoin Fitzpatrick find the back of the net. ️ 5 mins later the sides were back level. Unfortunately, the CBS were on the wrong side of a 2-1 scoreline 5 mins later. 

Colaiste Eanna were the dominate side, but through one of many well delivered corners from Maks Piech, Eoin Fitzpatrick slotted home his second. ️

The second half saw the CBS start the strongest, putting the pressure back on Colaiste Eanna. It was quick thinking from Darragh Keenan that set up a long range strike from Eoghan Fennell ️ who found the top corner putting the CBS back in front. The drama was to continue with Colaiste Eanna putting the pressure back on us, pulling it back level with 15 to go. St. Mary’s CBS settled again, with some good passages of play and Adam Whelan at the heart of it. It was to be Whelan ️ that would prove the hero, as he combined with Fitzpatrick in the box to seal the win for the CBS. ️

Well done to the boys and their coaches

Multicultural Week!

On Thursday we celebrated Multicultural Week with a display of the many different nationalities in our school. The day consisted of each year group assembling in the GPA to be greeted by a guest speaker, who shared their insights and experiences in different cultures. Each student then placed their fingerprint on a display created by our Woodwork and Art department and then tasted different foods from across the globe. Students were then welcomed to walk around the GPA and look at the different displayed made by our 70+ membered committee. Well done  to all involved and many thanks to our guest speakers: Bolaji (Founder of Laois Africa Support Group), Aga (Laois Integration), Joe (Rugby Coach) & Ms Barrett and Ms Saez.

They are a credit to their families! #fromeachtheirbest
