CBC PPU Annual Dinner 2024, Clayton Hotel. 

We recently welcomed Dr. Paul Hill back to CBC for a special Physics presentation to students. Dr. Hill is a medical physicist in CUH and has worked on particle physics research in CERN. Dr Hill spoke to our Leaving Cert Physics classes about the history of particle physics from the 19th to the 21st century.

On Friday, students from Scoil Mhuire joined our weekly Debating Society meeting for a lively and spirited interschool debate. The calibre of speakers from both sides was exceptionally high and we hope this to be the beginning of a great partnership with our neighbours. Well done to Matthew Hiras, Matias O'Conaill, Luke Barry, Harry Walsh, Max Power and Kevin McCarthy who competed in the next round of the Matheson National Junior Mace Competition at Belvedere College. Students debated matters of politics and curriculum and represented the school excellently. Many thanks to Ms Calvert for accompanying the boys to the event.

We are delighted to announce that CBC had the privilege of hosting a cutting-edge workshop by the Climate Smart project, a groundbreaking initiative funded by Science Foundation Ireland, the European Commission's Horizon 2020 project, and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. Led by Alison Norman from Trinity College Dublin’s Department of Geography, the workshop aimed to educate us about the imperative need to adapt to our ever-changing climate. The Climate Smart project has been at the forefront of climate education, and our students had the unique opportunity to engage with the newly developed transition unit. During the workshop, 2nd Year students and a Transition Year (TY) 'Climate Control class actively participated in hands-on activities and discussions on the climatesmart.ie platform. Alison Norman brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise, creating an interactive and informative session that left a lasting impact on our CBC students.

Well done to all our First Year students who entered this year’s Poetry Competition. Congratulations to our prize winners, Charlie Dunphy (1A29) First Place, Matthew Thuillier(1A28) Second Place and Adam Lawlor (1A30) Third Place.
