A big thank you to all who donated in-person and online to our shoe box appeal. Last Thursday and Friday our T.Y's assisted the Team Hope volunteers to sort and pack the boxes for delivery. The boys received a talk from one of the Team Hope team leaders who described the difference the shoebox donations make in the lives of the people who receive them. Also, thank you to Mary Signey who collected and dropped the boys free of charge. @teamhope #shoeboxappeal #makingadifference

Yesterday all 1st Years took part in the "Bin It" roadshow, as part of our Green School initiative. The topics of conversation were recycling, waste and gum. The students were able to answer nearly all the questions thrown at them and now have some more ideas as to how they can improve recycling and waste in their own lives. ️ #greenschool #fromeachtheirbest #litter&waste @laoiscoco @greenschoolsire

The CBS Rugby team march on to the Cup Final after an impressive win over a very physical Kildare Town CS. A repeat of last year's Cup semi-final brought the old rivals together again in Portlaoise Rugby Club. KTCS started very strong with a big carry from their number 12 deep in his own half breaking through the CBS defence to score a great individual try under the posts. CBS were rattled from this and KTCS kept the pressure on, but the CBS defence had finally got it together and kept them out. CBS got some momentum going and a fantastic run from outside centre Theo Adams saw him dance through to KTCS defence to score a great try. With momentum in their favour CBS kept the pressure on and Captain Cian Butler picked from the bottom of a ruck to power over for a great individual try. The momentum had really swung in the CBS favour now and Captain Fantastic Butler was all over the field with massive tackles and carries resulting in him getting in for another great try. Some clever kicking from out half Oran D'Arcy kept KTCS pinned back into their own half a great chase by Butler put pressure on their fullback with Eoin Carey on his shoulder to collect, he crossed the whitewash with ease. CBS came again with non-other than the wonderful Butler who had a fantastic break away try, moving the length of the field to score under the posts. CBS were now very dominant and closed out the game with another well worked try sending Aaron Fitzpatrick in in the corner. Some great individual performances from David Brown, Cormac Deegan, Ryan O’Brien McCormack and Daniel Downey to just name a few but man of the match had to go to Joey McGuinness who was immense right through the game with big tackles and big carries. A final score of 43 - 7 sending CBS into the Cup Final on December 15th in Donnybrook. Well done lads! #fromeachtheirbest

U19 Basketball Midlands Final Win

Hard luck to our U16 Basketball team who were narrowly defeated by Coláiste Ísogáin 42-45 in a spectacular Midlands Final. The lads fought until the very end and put Coláiste Ísogáin through their paces. We are extremely proud of their sportsmanship and effort until the very end. Our U19’s were victorious against Knockbeg 65-58. The game got off to strong start for Knockbeg. With the CBS under some pressure and 5 points down, they kicked it up a few notches and showed Knockbeg what they were truly made of. Patrick O’Callaghan was one to watch securing some key baskets for the CBS side. Despite dodgy knees and a strong stench of Deep Heat spray Paddy Fitzpatrick stole the show and had a standout performance. When he was not displaying excellent defending, he was scoring baskets. This paid off in the end and the lads secured an excellent win. Two extremely impressive games of Basketball, we’re extremely proud of both our teams, especially our two captains U16 Jack Fennell and U19 Aaron Dooley! Well done lads!! #fromeachhisbest

We would like to draw it to your attention that the School Year Calendar which parents have access to has one important change. Originally we were closed for Thursday 16th March, Friday St Patrick's Day itself and the Saturday/Sunday as normal. We have had to make a change:

We will be in school on Thursday 16th March 2023, closed on Friday St Patrick's Day, and school will be closed on Monday 20th March 2023 instead. This coincides with the dates of the Skiing Trip that same long weekend. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we hope that by informing you as soon as this will prevent any problems when that weekend comes around. Thank you for your understanding.
