Teacher chats for College Awareness Week

As part of College Awareness Week our Podcasting Club interviewed some teachers discussing the route that they took after they finished school. This created conversation on all the different pathways our teachers took before they ended up in the CBS. The aim is to help students who are making the big decision about their next chapter of all the routes available to them from those who have been through the process themselves. A huge thanks to the teachers who have taken part so far. Next week we will interview some more teacher's and some 6th Year students on the possible avenues they are considering after school. #cbspodcast #fromeachtheirbest
Senior Rugby team advance to Cup Semi-Final

Today our Senior Rugby team played host to East Glendalough in Portlaoise Rugby Club for the quarter Final of the Anne McInerney Cup. East Glendalough started strong putting huge pressure on the CBS defence. Some clever play from the CBS backs saw Jake Darcy kicking a sweet cross-field kick to which Tadgh O’Sullivan collected and scored the opening try. CBS had found their feet now and not long after Daniel Thornton made a great break to get over the whitewash with Matthew Coonan kicking the conversion. From here East Glendalough got going and two tries in quick succession levelled the game. A hard fought first half with both sides breathing a sigh of relief when the half time whistle blew. A good half time pep talk got CBS going again and some great tackles and carries from Ivan Okonkwo and Evan Caffrey set the CBS up into a good position. A solid scrum followed by a huge carry from Jake Andrews left Robert Keane with the chance to get over from close range to put the CBS back into the lead. The momentum was now with the CBS who kept pressure on, and Ivan Okonkwo got over from a well worked move for his try. East Glendalough were not finished just yet and piled the pressure on again to secure their third try. With a converted try separating the teams Glendalough threw everything they could at the CBS defence, but they held strong with great work from Caffrey again at the break down and very clever kicking and turnovers from Man of the Match Robert Keane helping the CBS to hold out for the win. CBS now advance to the semi-final against Arklow CBS next week. #fromeachtheirbest
