Well done to any of the TY’s who took part in the Oesophageal Cancer Collection on March 1st! Maria Mulhall, thanked the people of Laois for their generosity. She said: “The charity would like to extend their sincere appreciation for all the donations received from the good people of Portlaoise. “It would not have been possible without the help of all the enthusiastic volunteers (including TY students of Portlaoise CBS), and of course the local businesses for facilitating the collection, namely; Mulhall’s Supervalu, Shaws, Aldi, and Kyle centre.” The Oesophageal Cancer Fund was established to promote awareness of the symptoms of this cancer, improve care and treatment of oesophageal cancer patients and to fund research projects. (Thanks to Laois Today for the report)

The Home Ec chocolate factory trip!

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!!
