The Junior Cert Results from the 3rd year class of 2021-2022 will be available this Wednesday at 10.30 am.
All 5th years who were 3rd years last year should attend for school at 9am as usual and they will be called down at 10.30 to receive them.
All TY's would normally be doing their Work Experience Day, but Mr Cahillane has instructed them this morning to inform their employers before Wednesday that they will not be working that day and to tell them the reason. This responsibility is on the individual student, not the school.
All other 5th years who are in school will continue with their timetabled classes, as usual. If they are not attending school that day, their parents should inform the school, as per our Attendance Policy, that they are absent explained by 8.55 am. Absentee texts will be sent to those who do not ring the school. The App does not do absentee or lateness messages from parents any longer. You must ring the office.
We wish all our Junior Cert students of the 2021-22 class a good day and ask everyone to take care and stay safe. Thank you.

We've had in three wonderful guest speakers this week inspiring the students.
On Tuesday all 2nd yrs got to hear past student and astrophysicist Karl Bracken speak about his research in UCD on the Neowise Comet and his work at the observatory in Spain. Fascinating stuff!
TYs got to hear from Dr. Helena Bonner, a lecturer at the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland as well as a trustee with Midlands Science, working primarily in their Outreach dept. She spoke about her path into STEM, talked about her leaving cert, her degree and how she got into lecturing. The students learned lots of information about careers in STEM and where a Science degree could take you.
The 5th Yr Biology classes had the opportunity to hear past CBS student James White, an Anatomy lecturer and PhD student at UCD speak about his research and how he got where he is today. He spoke fondly about his time in the CBS, highlighting your mock results are no indication of how well you can achieve on your actual LC. He described his time at NUI Galway, his research and thesis at UCD on the link between obesity and type 2 diabetes and what anatomy practicals were like on bodies that were donated to science. The lads had loads of questions about this!
Thank you to all our guest speakers! We really appreciate your time and expertise. It's great for the lads to learn that a Science degree can open up many different avenues into a huge number of fascinating STEM careers.

️CBS senior rugby headed to Nass yesterday to play St Kevin's Dunlavin in the first round of the cup. On a nice crisp November morning, the CBS got straight down to buisness with immense pressure being placed on Dunlavin seeing Conor Raggett getting in for the opening try. The CBS were by far the better side and kept Dunlavin pinned back into their own half with trys added by Matthew Coonan, Evan Caffery, Adam Glynn, PJ Larkin, Paddy Reddin & Tadgh O’Sullivan rounding off a very impressive first half display. The kicking duties were sharded with Coonan, D'Arcy, Larkin Reddin and Andrews all having a go.. with some successful. A strong display from all the CBS squad with subs having a great impact. Final score CBS 55 - Dunlavin 14. We face East Glendalough in the next round. ️#fromeachtheirbest

2nd years started Science week with a few chemical reactions with Group 1, Alkali metals and water as well as burning magnesium ribbon. The students learned about the properties of these metals and the compounds they form when reacted with oxygen and water. Don’t think they expected an explosion!

️St. Mary’s CBS U17s came into Tuesday’s game hungry after coming away with a draw last week to PPS Newbridge. The CBS started off the game attacking well and putting a lot of pressure on Maynooth. They finally got a break through after the Maynooth keeper made a mistake and Charles Ogundere got onto the ball from behind and put it in to the back of the net to give the CBS the lead.
It was end to end stuff for the remainder of the half and CBS’ Conor O’Callaghan almost doubled the lead after a strong run.
The second half started with George Okpara and Danny Farrell controlling the back line and Liam Conroy holding his own in goals. With just a few minutes to go, Darragh Prendergast scored a screamer from outside the box after the keeper was caught off his line. The CBS held strong for the remainder of the game and finished with a comfortable 2-0 finish.
Well done lads ️

Ms. Barrett’s 6th yrs got the opportunity to carry out a DNA Profile with kits borrowed from the Amgen Biotech Experience project. They had to solve a hypothetical jewellery theft case and correctly identify the guilty party based on DNA left at the crime scene. They first practiced their micropipetting skills to get used to the equipment and then followed the same steps scientists use to create DNA profiles used in crime scene investigation and paternity disputes. This unique opportunity gave them some insight into a hands-on experience with real life science. They created the unique pattern of DNA bands and solved the case... using science!
