Being Green Aware this Christmas

The Green Schools Committee have come up with some tips for shopping more environmentally friendly this Christmas.
1. Shop in store- There are short distances between the buyer and the retailer, it is environmentally friendly to shop in store.
2. Limit the numbers of orders you make- The reduction of unnecessary transport routes by combining orders, so that not every part is ordered and transported individually from a different dealer at intervals of a few days.
3. Buy less- Ultimately, buying less is the best way to reduce your shopping’s carbon footprint. Often we buy unnecessary things we don’t need or don’t use – for example, every fifth garment bought is never worn. So, consider carefully whether you really need a product and find out exactly what you need in advance.

Senior Rugby Team progress to Pat Rossiter Cup Final

On Thursday, our Senior Rugby team travelled to Arklow Rugby Club to play Arklow CBS in the Semi-final of the Pat Rossiter Cup. Arklow were the team who knocked Portlaoise CBS out of last year's cup so old rivalries were being renewed and the CBS were hoping for some revenge. Unfortunately, the game didn't start as we would have liked and Arklow scored and converted an early try to take the lead. Thankfully, the CBS boys responded well with a great try from PJ Larkin and Matthew Coonan adding the conversion. Arklow weren't done yet and responded with another try of their own after some big carries. CBS came again with some good forward work sending Jake Andrews in for a try. Arklow led at half time 14 to 12.
Arklow started strongest again in the second half with a well worked team try giving them a 10 point lead. The CBS boys were finding it hard to get any traction until a snipping run from Jake Darcy, sent the impressive Larkin in for his second try. A huge conversion from Coonan made it a 3 point game in Arklow's favour. Arklow rallied again and piled on the pressure with some huge turnovers from Man of the Match Evan Bergin keeping Arklow at bay. They came again though and it was a super block down and collection that sent Jake Darcy the length of the field to score in the corner. The CBS were now 2 points ahead with the game on red. Arklow were not done though, and won a penalty just left of the CBS posts outside the 22-metre line. Their out half who had a great game had the kick to win it. Fortunately for the CBS he narrowly missed right at the death, giving the CBS boys a narrow victory and a place in the final. The Senior team will now join the CBS U16s in Donnybrook next Thursday for the cup finals. A great achievement for the boys and their coaches, well done lads! #fromeachtheirbest

Thank you to all who took part in our College Awareness Week @collegeaware. The students had a week full of events which began last Tuesday with teachers informing students about their own college pathways. Junior Cycle students engaged in activities with TY’s, such as 'My Dream Job' and explaining key terms around applying for college. A big thank you to all our Higher Education Institutes who took part in the week and for delivering group and subject specific talks to a variety of year groups. #collegepathways #gettingtocollege #keepingyouroptionsopen

In this episode, we are joined by a group of teachers who talked to us about their time in college to raise awareness for 'College Awareness Week' last week! For 6th years, these times can be difficult in terms of their CAO choices, so we thought it was important to highlight the topic and made sure to include advice for those who may need it - make sure to stick around till the end! ️ Thank you to all the teachers that took part Ms Redmond, Mr Lowry, Ms Lannon, Ms Hennessy and Ms Barrett!
