Over 300 parents, students and teachers were in attendance on our annual awards night on Thursday the 9th of May. Guest speaker on the night was Munster’s fly half JJ Hanrahan. In his address to the crowd JJ stressed the importance of resilience in young people’s lives today. He also spoke about the importance of goal setting. In his words ‘a goal without a plan is only a dream’. He emphasised to students that ‘in ordered to achieve a desired goal in life there is always going to be steps by which one must follow to achieve your goal’. Our distinguished past student, Ciaran Finlay, commenced proceeding in an eloquent fashion when he outlined his career to date since leaving the CBS in 2007. Upon leaving the CBS he completed a degree in Law and Human Rights in UCD. Ciaran has had huge experience in the human rights field, working with the UN all around Europe and America over the past number of years. He is currently completing his final exams in Kings Inn en route to becoming a barrister. The awards celebrated the students’ academic, pastoral and sporting awards. The academic awards went to: Ann Prendergast Literary Award: Jack Kennedy/ Kacper Krawcow Irish : Diarmuid Brosnan/ Cian O’Toole Maths: Ethan Hussy Geography: Rory Foley History: Sean Sheridan Business Studies: Annan Atiq Accounting: Damien Mc Caul Biology: Rian O’Connell Physics: Dawid Tkaczyk Chemistry: Jack Delaney DCG: Shawn Fragante Construction Studies :Fabian Lukaszewski Engineering:Daniel Puslednik Home Economics: Eoin O’Conor Agricultural Science:Neil Keane Art: Oisin Scarry French: Liam Kinsella Spanish:Eoin Kennan LCVP: Nathan Harrison Best Junior Certificate award :John Davis Best Leaving Cert Mock award: Daniel Whelan John Davis also received the overall T.Y student of the year award.

Colin Conroy has just returned from Israel where he represented Ireland youth in u16 soccer. William Reilly has recently received his first cap for Ireland with the u18 Irish squad. The school is also very proud of Sean Scannell who is preparing not only for his Leaving Certificate but also the European Swimming Championships in Russia this summer. The school has three prestigious awards-‘From each His Best’ which embodies the school slogan. This award went to someone who in all aspects of school life did his best. This year’s award winner for the ‘From Each His Best’ perpetual trophy was Kyle Byrne. The next award is fondly named after Martin Conroy who served as caretaker in Tower Hill for many years. Martin’s time in Tower Hill is always marked by his courteous nature and willingness to help others. The Martin Conroy perpetual trophy was awarded to Nathan Harrison who embodies all of these attributes. Our final and most prestigious award the perpetual Territt Cup, was presented to St. Marys CBS Student of the Year Daniel Whelan. Daniel who starred as Joseph in our recent musical, is chairperson of the student’s council and excels academically, was a very popular recipient of this award. A great night was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to all award winners and their parents.

Our third years celebrated their end of year mass this morning. The theme of the mass was 'Our Journey' where students reflected on their growth, development and progress over the past three years and also their hope and aspirations for the future as they prepare to sit their junior cert and progress to the next step of their journey. Thank you to Fr Vard who led us in prayer, the religion teachers, the JPll leaders (who distributed communion)and the students who volunteered to read and take part in the offertory procession. A special mention to Eoghan Leonard who spent a lot of time designing the ‘Our Journey’ art work for today's ceremony. The piece can be seen in the images attached. Big thank you to Ms Buckley who organised todays celebrations. We wish our students the very best in their exams.

(This report is courtesy of Laois Today reporter Alan Hartnet) Super subs James Devoy and Aaron Thornton came off the bench and scored a goal each in the final three minutes as Portlaoise CBS came from behind to claim a Leinster final place. Stradbally’s Devoy, who is only in First Year, was making his first appearance of the season for the South Leinster champions and it was his goal which regained control of the game for the CBS before Thornton finished off Dublin champions Colaiste Cois Life from Lucan a couple of minutes later. This is a remarkable victory for Portlaoise CBS who went into the game without the likes of Cormac Dunne, DJ White, Ben Dempsey and Kevin Swayne – while their chances were further weakened ten minutes into the second half when Laois minor midfielder Conor Goode was shown a black card. But Paul Cahillane and Geoff Brennan’s side are made of stern stuff and along with the two subs already mentioned, The Heath’s Jack Reddy and Timahoe’s Daire McDonald also made big impacts when introduced. The CBS made the perfect start when Conor Goode was dragged down for a penalty in the first minute and captain Josh Mulhall stepped up and smashed the ball into the top corner of the net. But the Dublin champions were no pushovers and wind assisted, they fired over the next four points via Eoin O hAodha, Oilibhear Birch and Somhairle Mac Conchubhair to take the lead. Portlaoise CBS keeper Conor Brown also had to be smart in the first half as he was forced into two fine saves to keep the Lucan men at bay. Two each from Paddy Hosey and Noah Fingleton regained the lead for Portlaoise CBS but a brace from Eoin O hAodha saw the sides level at 1-4 to 0-7 at the midpoint of the half. Portlaoise CBS almost had another goal through Hosey but his effort came back off the post and another point from him was all they would manage in the remainder of the half. Somhairle Mac Conchubhair and Eoin O hAodha split the posts for Colaiste Cois Life as they took a 0-9 to 1-5 lead into the interval. That margin was extended by Oilibhear Birch on the resumption of play but two points from James Connolly and another from Paddy Hosey had the CBS 1-8 to 0-10 ahead after 35 minutes. Eoin O hAodha levelled it again and although Connolly pushed the CBS back in front with 15 minutes to play, Colasite Cois Life got the next three points to go two ahead as we entered the closing three minutes and it was looking bleak for the CBS. Devoy was on the field at this stage and when Paddy Hosey cut inside to find the youngster in front of goal, he turned onto his left side and shot low into the bottom corner. From the resulting kick-out, Josh Hogan-O’Brien, who worked tirelessly around midfield with Sam Birrane, Dan Daly and Josh Mulhall throughout, was fouled. James Connolly lobbed the ball in and it broke to sub Aaron Thornton who side-footed it to the net. Three minutes of injury time followed but the CBS held on and now reach the final stage. The lads now have a Leinster final to prepare for against the North Leinster champions which is likely to take place later this week. SCORERS – PORTLAOISE CBS: Paddy Hosey 0-4, James Connolly 0-3 (one free), James Devoy, Aaron Thornton and Josh Mulhall (penalty) 1-0 each, Noah Fingleton 0-2 PORTLAOISE CBS: Conor Brown (Portlaoise); Jamie Preston (Portlaoise), Jack Tobin (Portlaoise), Tommy Keegan (Emo); Marc Ramsbottom (Park-Ratheniska), Simon Fingleton (Park-Ratheniska), Gary Whelan (Portlaoise); Josh Mulhall (Park-Ratheniska), Sam Birrane (Portlaoise); Josh Hogan-O’Brien (Portlaoise), James Connolly (Park-Ratheniska), Dan Daly (The Heath); Noah Fingleton (Park-Ratheniska), Paddy Hosey (Emo), Conor Goode (Stradbally). Subs: Daire McDonald (Timahoe) for Preston (36), Aaron Thornton (The Heath) for Goode (40, black card), Jack Reddy (The Heath) for Whelan (43), James Devoy (Stradbally) for N Fingleton (45)
