The Central Applications Office (CAO) has begun emailing all applicants who applied to CAO by 1 February this year. (Applicants who applied using the late application facility will receive an email later in the month). This email is referred to as the Statement of Application Record email, and all applicants should have received it by the end of May.  

The email instructs applicants to log in to their CAO account to confirm that all of their personal details, examination information, exemptions (if any) and course choices are recorded correctly on their accounts.  

If there are errors or omissions, applicants are given the opportunity to rectify this information (for no charge) via their online CAO Account. Examination updates made before the end of May will be updated to applicant accounts in early June. 
CAO advises applicants to take the following steps:

Step 1. Read the instructions in the email and on the Statement of Application Record page online at www.cao.ie/soar  

Step 2. Log in to your CAO Account to review your account information, including your personal information, your examination information, course choices, and supporting documentation (if you supplied any).  

Step 3. If there are any errors or omissions update your information immediately (follow the instructions provided on the CAO website for modifying your account information online). Failure to correct errors or omissions at this stage may have very serious consequences and lead to the loss of a place.

Step 4: You must proceed to the bottom of your account homepage and click on 'Confirm' to indicate that you have checked that your account information is all present and correct, and have followed the instructions in the Statement of Application Record email and the Statement of Application Record website page.  If you have clicked on 'Confirm' you may still continue to add, remove or change the order of your course choices up to 5pm on 1 July.

Step 5: Check your email/correspondence section of your account to ensure that your modifications or confirmation of account have been recorded.

3rd Years Visit The Dáil

On Wednesday the 3rd year classes embarked on a trip to the Dáil. We had a great time and got the opportunity to meet Sean Fleming, who is a TD from Laois. This was a great experience meeting an important political figure from our local area. He gave us snacks, which were very nice. We then got a guided tour of the Dáil, which was very informative. I was engrossed in the rich history and culture of the historic building. After this we had the opportunity to sit and watch a live Dáil session, which was invigorating. Leo Varadkar mentioned us during leaders' questions, and we got a Fáilte from Mary Lou McDonald, which was very significant, and this brought great pride to me and the school. Overall, it was a wonderful day. Bhí sé go hiontach! - David Finegan, 3rd year 
Science Fest Winners Represent School in Athlone Regional Finals

The winners from our own SciFest@School went on to represent St. Mary's CBS at the TUS Athlone Regional SciFest@College last week. 
Five TY students presented their projects to numerous judges, defending their research and discussing their findings. Since our in-school SciFest competition in February these lads have been working on improving their projects and furthering their research. 
It was a full house with over 180 projects from almost 30 different secondary schools across the Midlands. Stiff competition and excellent scientific investigation saw our groups narrowly miss out. We were sure we were in the running after one of our groups was visited 6 times by different judges so they came down to a finalist in one of the categories at least. 
We're so proud of them all! They all spoke confidently and full of enthusiasm about their projects. They were pure gentlemen and did their projects, their school and themselves proud! Congratulations gents!
