Despite Lent starting on Tuesday Ms Murphy tempted the taste buds of her 2nd year Home Ec students with a trip to ‘The Chocolate Warehouse’ in Dublin. The boys spent over two hours at the factory where they watched 25 minute film that explained in detail the story of chocolate and how the cocoa beans are grown and harvested. The film showed the journey of the cocoa beans from the Aztecs to the factory and the process the cocoa beans go through to get the chocolate that we recognize today. The boys were also given a chocolate demonstration on how chocolates and Easter eggs are made. They were shown the different machinery needed to make chocolate and the method of how to use a piping bag filled with chocolate. The best part of the visit came when the boys donned some blue aprons like a true chocolatier and started the business of coating chocolates, adding toppings and hand piping with white chocolate. Everyone got to decorate and package the chocolate to take home! A great day was had by all!!

Our U14 Hurlers travelled to the Meath GAA centre of exellence in Dunganny to take on Boyne CC in the second round of the U14 Hurling. On what was a dry windy day our boys got off to strong start with a quick lead of 2-2 to 1 point. The lead grew wider with an impressive goal from captain Barry Fitzpatrick followed by 2 free's from the afore mentioned. We went into the half time break with a 3-4 to a 1-1 lead. Our boys hit the ground running early in the second half with two more goals followed by 2 quick points. Colin McEvoy and Dylan Cahill providing the scores. Another goal from Captain Barry Fitz put us into a comfortable position mid way through the second half. At this point all subs were used and Portlaoise ran out winners of a score line of 9-11 to 3-3. Notable performances by Goalie for the day Cian Nolan and Barry Fitzpatrick.

VERY IMPORTANT!! Information Night for ALL TY and 3rd year parents

This is a reminder for all parents of 3rd years and current TY's that the Parents' Information Night is being held this Thursday evening, March 7th at 7.30 pm. The process for students to decide, along with their parents, what course and/or subjects to follow towards their Leaving Certificate is now beginning. Transition Year will be presented first by Ms Gillson and Ms O'Connell, the TY Coordinators. The 5th year subjects, including LCVP, will begin immediately after that, presented by the Career Guidance Team. This is a very important meeting for all parents to attend. to help them select their right subject options. All will be catered for as far as providing information is concerned. The TY Application Closing Date will be Friday March 15th at 1.15. Interviews will take place during the week of March 25th. Results will be made available on Friday March 29th. After that, during the first week of April, the 5th year Subject Option Forms will be submitted. Your input as parents to this whole process is vital. Choices made this side of the summer may greatly influence, either negatively or positively, the suitability of the course chosen by your son for his Leaving Certificate. We would strongly advise that you and your son consider doing Transition Year after 3rd year. More and more, especially in the current year, students have come to me to say they are not ready to do their LC next year. Parents say they are far too immature, or don't know their own mind to make good choices. And then say they should have considered TY. All arrive at that conclusion half way through 5th year. Repeating 5th year is not a given. It has to be approved by the Department of Education & Skills. The experiences and skills outside of the LC Curriculum far outweigh the repetition of the same subjects, which can be demoralizing to the student if their friends have moved on. Please consider Transition Year, for all the right reasons, which you will learn more about on Thursday evening. Thank you. Maura Murphy
