Arklow CBS
WELCOME BACK
We would like to welcome our staff and students back to school after the Christmas Break and to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.
JUNIOR GAELTACT TRIP
The new school term got off to an amazing start with a group of 24 First and second year students heading to the Gaeltacht in Coláiste na Rinne, Co. Waterford for three days last week for our annual Gaeltacht trip. The students had classes in the mornings followed by sports, a céilí and excursions in the afternoons and evenings.
The trip was a resounding success and the boys had a great time practising their ‘cúpla focal’ and they came home with more. We now have 24 new Irish ambassadors of Gaeilge in Arklow CBS.
The students were accompanied by Ms King and Ms Kinsella and many thanks to both teachers for all their hard work and dedication.
TY/5TH YEAR INFOR EVENING
This Wednesday at 7.30 our annual information evening on Transition and fifth year will take place. Here, parents/guardians of our current third and transition year students will gain valuable information about the year their son is progressing into. We would encourage all parents/guardians of these students to attend.
SPEAKER FROM UL
Next Monday our senior careers students will have the great opportunity of listening to a speaker give valuable information to them about the university of Limerick. Many of our students attend this university and we are very lucky to have this careers visit. Many thanks to Ms Whelan for organising.
SENIOR HISTORY TRIP
Next Tuesday our senior History students will attend the cinema with their history teachers.
This is an annual trip in the school history calendar and is one that is really beneficial to their Leaving Certificate studies while also being really enjoyable. Many thanks to Mr Cosgrove for organising.
Currently, the senior hockey team lie at the top of their league table with maximum points. Their last group match will be a home game against St Mary’s College in Naas and is due to be played on January 20 We wish them the best of luck as they progress to the quarter-final stage of the league.
