                                Message from the Principal
It is a great pleasure as Principal of Meánscoil Iognáid Rís to
welcome our Yearbook for 2019-20. The Yearbook marks a very
successful and unique year for us all in Naas CBS and highlights
many of the great achievements by so many over the year.

But what an extraordinary year! Who could have believed in March
of this year that our 6 years would not be doing a Leaving Cert,
                      th

our 3 years not doing their JCT or that our senior footballers might
     rd

not be given an opportunity to defend their Leinster title? However
more pertinent issues and important values came to the fore as
the health of our community was threatened by COVID 19. We
realised what was important in our lives; our health, our families
and our friends. I want to acknowledge the tremendous work of
our staff and students in these unprecedented times and the
fabulous support of our parents all working as a collective to
overcome the challenges inflicted on our school community.

It s the onderful relationships that permeate throughout the
school that makes Naas CBS unique. This allows for a great spirit and for an excellent working and learning
environment. I want to thank the staff and students whose support and commitment contributes so much to
allowing this to happen.

Well done to all who represented the school in a huge number of activities during the year. Sincere thanks
to teachers and parents who have worked so hard to make this happen. The voluntary work that goes on in
our school is extraordinary and contributes greatly to the holistic development of the lads. Special thanks to
our Meitheal team, Prefects and our Student Council for the wonderful leadership they have provided to their
fellow students. Special congratulations to all involved in our sporting successes this year. Our senior
footballers under the guidance of Mr Joyce, Mr McGuinness and Mr Cullagh deserve a special mention as
they weaved a path to a third Leinster final in a row. This is a truly phenomenal achievement.

I want to acknowledge and thank the hundreds of lads who come in and out of our school every day, who
have worked so hard and are always pleasant, cooperative and a pleasure to be around.

A special mention to our 6 years, whose resilience and adaptability is something that will stay with us for a
                           th

long time. You showed your true character as you rose to the challenges of the last few months and I know
it will have the positive effect of sustaining you in the years ahead. It has been a pleasure to have you journey
with us over the last few years and we look forward to the opportunity of celebrating your time with us in Naas
CBS in the near future.

Sincere thanks to our students, Adam Halford, Dylan Stewart, Adam Farrelly, Charles Choiseul, Seán O
Rourke, Luke McMahon, Fiachra McManus, Jaemark Reyes and Cian Horan, working under the guidance of
Ms Claire O Brien for undertaking the onerous task of publishing this Yearbook. Many thanks also to Mr
Stephens for his time and work. Your collective commitment and dedication made this publication possible.
Well done to all.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

                       Message from the 6th Year Head
                             To all of our Leaving Cert. Students of 2020
      In the dying minutes of the 2014 All Ireland Senior Football Final a last gasp Donegal move
eventually fell to Colm McFadden lurking on the edge of the Kerry square. Trailing by 3 points, his
attempted fist into the net from a parried sa e rebounded off the upright and became Donegal s last
chance to clinch a dramatic draw. Moments later referee Eddie Kinsella blew the final whistle and
Kerry were crowned All Ireland champions for the 37 time managed that day by Eamonn
                                                             th

Fit maurice. The game ill al a s be remembered for Paul Durkan s kick out that landed in Kieran
Donagh s hands and the rest as the sa is histor !
       Two weeks previously in the same venue the drama was even at a higher pitch, when two
heavy weights of the hurling world Kilkenny and Tipperary squared off in the All Ireland Senior
Hurling Final. A late cameo appearance from Henry Shefflin with 4 mins to go and leading by 3
points Kilkenny looked to have had enough done, but on a day when the umpires became the busiest
men in Croke Park, Tipperar      eren t going a a      ithout a fight. It as a relentless game that
produced a total of 54 scores and the journalists on that day could hardly keep up with everything
that unfolded. With both teams le el in injur time a late John (Bubbles) O D er free from outside
the Tipp 45m line looked to have gone between the posts. Referee Barry Kelly called for Hawk-Eye
and the rest is history!
        Our Leaving Cert. class of 2020 were barely 2 weeks into their Naas CBS journey when all
of this sporting drama was unfolding before our eyes. The Script were at number 1 in the Irish music
charts with their hit single Superheroes. Since then Dublin have gone on to dominate the football
landscape winning 5 All Irelands in a row. The hurling titles have been shared by Kilkenny, Tipperary,
Galway and Limerick. Across the pond the Premier League has been dominated by financial
investment and the lure of high wages for top players. Liverpool are close to clinching their first title
in 30 years (fingers crossed). How we all would love to see a match again given our current way of
living! As we know a lot can happen in 6 years and during that time, our 1 years of 2014 with their
                                                                              st

pristine new uniforms and smart haircuts have now grown into fine young men.
       To all of our Leaving Cert. students of 2020, your current few months have no doubt been
o ershado ed b the Co id 19 pandemic but that on t define our journe . As our Year Head it
has been a privilege to have had the chance to work with you. Since your first day in Naas CBS, I
want to thank you for the positive relationships that you have made and the level of respect that you
have shown for all of our staff. I want you to know that I am extremely proud of your relentless work,
especiall o er the last fe months against all of the odds. You e had to adapt and learn in ne
ways but I have seen the emails and text messages from your teachers confirming your wonderful
levels of engagement with all forms of online learning. The constant hours of study, revision and
answering of exam questions, when endless conversations in our country focused on the uncertainty
surrounding the Leaving Cert. The moving goal posts in terms of the time frame and now a new
method of calculating your grades. Your resilience and ability to work independently will stand to
you in all aspects of your future life. This is certainly a time in your education that we will all
remember for the rest of our lives.
       On your behalf I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of your teachers and especially
your form teachers for their wonderful support and their investment in your education during your
CBS journey. The constant focus on your wellbeing, the wonderful relationships and sowing the
seed of interest ithin their subject areas. I kno that just like ou, the da         asn t constrained b
the 4 o clock bell for our teachers. The last fe months ha e been difficult for e er one but to
witness the determination of your teachers to look after you has been inspiring. I know that all of
your teachers will be in your corner in relation to the calculated grades process.

                                                                                                       5

       Gentlemen. I appreciate that you have missed out on numerous milestones recently, the last
day in each class, your sports day, final assembly and your graduation night to name but a few. We
look forward to your debs night in the near future and getting the chance to celebrate with you
properly. I want to thank my fellow members of management in Naas CBS, Mr. Travers, Mr. Murphy
and Ms. Power for their support and for always having your best interests at heart. I want to thank
you and your parents for choosing Naas CBS and hopefully you leave us with good memories.
       As you embark on the next phase of your life, Naas CBS will take a back seat but hopefully
you will carry the values, work ethic and ability to forge positive relationships with you always. The
immediate future might be a little uncertain but as Martin Luther King said faith is taking the first
step e en hen ou don t see the hole staircase .

                        NAAS CBS RUGBY - 2019/20

The school fielded both a Junior Team and a First Year Team this season and once again it was
our JCT boys who brought a trophy to the school to add to the considerable success of previous
seasons. The team began preparations for this season as far back as the previous May, on foot of
the historic treble-winning season of 2018/19. We also moved up to League Division 1B for the first
time, enjoying a higher and more consistent standard of regular competitive games, primarily among
the Dublin-based rugby schools.

         Junior Rugby Captain Mark Alexander pictured with back-row colleague Austin Brennan

Mark Alexander was chosen as captain along with Charlie Murphy as vice-captain and proper
training began as soon as we returned in September. Austin Brennan, Jamie Carroll and Fionn
Monaghan were also back again for another season.

However the remaining 27 squad members were all new to Junior Cup Rugby so it was all the more
impressive that essentially a new squad, under Head Coach Paddy McDonnell from Naas RFC,
became the first team from the school to win the 1B League title. It was also notable that the team
enjoyed the input from Mr Ben Tomkins, an ex-Kilkenny College Cup player himself and newly
employed in the MTW Department in the school.

                                                                                                11
NAAS CBS YEARBOOK 2019-2020
Victory in that final came on March 4th against Wilson's Hospital, on a day when heroic defending
and exemplary discipline saw Naas CBS take victory 15-10. It went some way towards
compensating the team for losing (16-10) at the quarter final stage of the Fr Godfrey Cup in
Donnybrook at the hands of Catholic University School, having previously seen off a decent team
from Wesley College 24-19 in Templeville Road.

                         FIRST YEAR RUGBY TEAM
Our First Years entered the newly-formed North Midlands Area league and our two teachers Ms
Muireann Joyce and Ms Ella Houlihan began afresh with this new squad. Together with CCRO Mick
Cahill, the Naas CBS team were on their way for top honours. A strong win (50-7) ersus St Ke ins
Dunlavin, followed by a similar 43-0 seven-try victory against a traditionally strong Ardscoil Athy
team, put us top of our group. However, the unfortunate closure stopped us in our tracks. With
almost 40 boys competing for places, there remains a healthy interest in the game in the school and
it is a pity they did not get to their final day as scheduled.

While the future or rugby, like that of all sports, remains somewhat uncertain at the time of
writing, there is no doubt about the quality of effort and commitment from the boys and their
coaches to this point has been outstanding. Since our first season in 2002, we have
contested 17 Leinster finals, in League and Cup, in 18 years, winning no less than 14 of them.
This is not to count the various 1st Year competitions we have contested with success also.
We can only hope the good days will return again, as we see a number of teachers, coaches
and players on hand to see rugby continue in this vein into the future.

                                       Senior Football
PBS v CBS Round 1
After weeks of many competitive friendlies and tough sessions, we started out our Leinster defence
to play PBS, our noisy neighbours who had been waiting for us since the draw was made. A local
derby is always tough and we knew we were in for a battle. Key player Mikey McGovern was missing
along with Kevin Quinn. We started okay and it was nip and tuck.
Alex Beirne, the joint captain (with Paddy McDermott), scored a crucial penalty early on which
proved to be the difference after a poor second half display.

CBS V Benildus College Round 2
After going back to the drawing board we made no mistake against Benildus. A fantastic team
performance gave us a well-deserved win. This left us in the last 16 but of course plenty of work to
do to reach our desired goal.

After a Christmas of hard work and plenty of good challenge matches we were in great shape. We
started the year off flying. Hammering our old foe, St. Michaels Enniskillen, albeit was only a friendly,
there was nothing friendly about the game and it was lovely to get one over on them. Good wins
o er Wicklo 20 s (Ke in Quinn ill argue it as their second team) and the Ulster B champions
had us raring to go.

Athlone CC v CBS Final 16
Another superb team performance all round. The whole team got a run and a chance to prove
themselves. Competition in the squad was heating up and so was the opposition. We were now
down to the last 8 and had not fully been challenged but we always stayed grounded thanks to a
fantastic management team.

Moate CC V CBS Quarter Final
Our first real championship game. 13 men behind the ball. Cynical and tough. Moate were always
going to be hard bet, like PBS. However, we knew what to do, of course no stone was left unturned
in preparation and we composed ourselves, shifting the ball side to side waiting for the correct
opportunity to strike. We had a fantastic first half, an example for any team looking to beat a blanket
defence. The game seemed dead and buried, but a late rally from Moate gave us a slight scare and
wakeup call, 50 minutes won't be enough to beat Marist Athlone. However we knew we were in the
business end of the Championship, the ground was getting harder and the Naas CBS supporters
were out in full force.

Marist College Athlone v CBS Semi Final
In the white of Kildare we travelled to play Marist in Kinnegad. A familiar face, the team the first
Leinster championship winning team bet. Marist were dying to get one over on us. Marist were
talented and physical, a great combination, but we were not giving up our Leinster crown. With an
early goal scare from Marist we steadied the ship but we struggled to get going. Mikey McGovern
was introduced in the second half, after being out for seven months. We battled hard in the second
half with great performances in the middle of the park. It finished up and we had a couple points to
spare. Leinster final time, for the third ear in a ro

The team everyone had talked about all year, which annoyed us, they had been talked up and
everyone seemed to forget us. Hopefully we get a chance to do the three peat when the current

A fe thank ous .
Jenny Duffy, Paul Divily and Johnny Doyle, they took us into the Maynooth college facilities at the
start of the year for testing.
Conor Laverty, the Kilcoo man gave us one of the best sessions I've ever been part of. It's a shame
we never got a chance to put it into practice in the Leinster final.
 Cormac Kirwan and Louise Keane, Two people who have been instrumental in the last 3 years.
Part of two Leinster winning teams and a Hogan cup final team. Sadly they had to part ways this
year with other commitments but they will not be forgotten for the foundations they put in for this
year's team to succeed.
To the team, 30 players who without fail gave 110% every session and match. A pleasure to lead
out this year along with Paddy.
To Ronan, Alan and Shane. Easily the best management I have played under. Endless hours of
preparing us to be the best we could have been. No stone was ever left unturned and without them
we would have never gotten near where we have gotten to today, a credit to the school.

                                      Senior Hurling
From our very first training session, it was obvious the team was full of talent, however we still knew
it would take more than talent to repeat the success of the 2015/2016 Leinster B senior hurling
champions. After two challenge games against Maynooth Freshers and Mountrath CS it was
obvious the desire this team conveyed. We were in a group consisting of two stronghold hurling
teams, the Leinster & All Ireland holders Col. Choilm Tullamore and Banagher College.
6 November - Group Game vs Tullamore
    th

Our first fixture was against Tullamore at home in Eire Og GAA. A tough 60 minutes was in store for
us but I could not fault the hunger and burning desire our men brought to the game. It was level
pegging with about 2 minutes left on the clock as confirmed by the referee. We won a free on our
own 65 yard line. With a blustery wind behind his back, the confident Paul Dolan stood up to float it
over the bar. However when the final whistle blew the ref confirmed a one point victory to Tullamore,
to our dismay. We were cut short that day but it stood to us the following game against Banagher.
21 November - Group Game vs Banagher
         st

In Banaghers home school pitch, we dominated the game. From the half back line of Ben Noone,
Drew Costello and Peter O Donoghue, these lads governed in the air, winning everything that could
be won. After one of our most convincing, yet hard fought wins we came out 8 points on top, with a
Leinster quarter final to look forward to.
6 December – Leinster Quarter Final vs Mounthrath
    th

From the get-go both sides ere fired up and made it clear the eren t alking a a from a chance
to advance to the semi-final without a serious battle. A hard fought team performance in the first half
left us going in two points behind at the break. The second half saw a rise in intensity of the game.
We opened up the second half with two consecutive points but naively conceded two handy frees
to give them the lead once again. Points were exchanged and then unfortunately we were reduced
to 14 men with 8 minutes left on the clock. This impacted the team heavily and we struggled to get
a grip of the game in the dying minutes. Despite this I could not fault the hunger of our team but
sadly Mountrath progressed to the semi-final.

Great commitment and dedication was shown by the players and the managers Mr Crosbie and Mr
Cummins. A massive thanks for their hard work. I do hope that next year as a group we can increase
our commitment to further training sessions which will be required to reach our goal of a Leinster
final. Hard work will always beat talent. It has been an experience in itself and I am sure all players
and managers enjoyed every step of the way.

                                      Senior Soccer
Our first game of the school year was a cup match against Clongowes College. It turned out to be
an easy game which we won 7-0 with Bryan Leavy scoring 4. Our next two matches were in the
league against Newbridge and then Athy. We played really well against Newbridge. Dan Woulfe and
Kayier Lopes were brilliant in defence, Colm Nolan never stopped working up and down the pitch
and Gary McDonnell was man of the match scoring two goals. The match finished 3-0. The following
week we travelled to Athy for a very intense match. The whole Athy school came out to watch Conor
Price! We scored first but in the final few minutes Athy equalised. The game finished a draw and
this meant we were through to the league semi-final against Clane. Before the semi-final we had to
play Clane in the next round of the cup. This was a very passionate game as it was a local derby. It
was a tight game but Clane finished out on top. We lost 3-2 and were knocked out of the cup. This
made everyone more determined to beat Clane in the semi-finals of the league.
We played Clane in Naas and it was a very tense match. There were a lot of tackles and the game
was end to end. We wanted it more than Clane and every one of our players won their individual
battle. Jake Sheehan had a great game in midfield. He got on the ball and played great passes into
Matthew McCarrick who could dribble past anyone. We went two goals ahead before Clane got a
goal back. Sam McCormack scored a great header which ended the game and we were into the
league final.
                                                        The final was against Kilcullen and it was
                                                        played in Newbridge. However, having
                                                        beaten Clane we thought we only had to
                                                        show up to win but we were wrong. We
                                                        spent the first half camped in the Kilcullen
                                                        penalty box with Oisin Hand creating
                                                        many chances. Unfortunately, no matter
                                                        ho close e got, the ball just ouldn t
                                                        go into the net. Jack Healy hit the post
                                                        and crossbar at least four times.
                                                        Somehow it was 0-0 at half time. The
                                                        second half was more of the same. Then
                                                        against the run of play Kilcullen scored
                                                        from a quick counterattack. We tried to
                                                        keep calm thinking we would get back
                                                        into the game. However even though we
were the better team and created numerous chances it just was not our day. We lost 1-0.
Although we lost, I really enjoyed playing football with the school. On behalf of the team I would like
to thank everyone who made it possible for us to play, especially Mr Fitzgibbon, Mr Bolger and Mr
Boland who managed the team not only this year but for many years throughout my time in the
school. It was always great fun and it was a pleasure to share great moments with a great group of
lads.

The 2019/20 cross country season was a successful one. The season started with the Three
counties league in November and December. Our first race took place in the Curragh. All our teams
were successful on the day and qualified for the next stage. Unfortunately the CBS Cross Country,
which is normally held in December, was postponed. The South Leinster Schools Cross Country
was held in the Carlow county grounds in February. Once again the teams qualified for Leinster. A
great race from Shane Coffey saw him finish in the top 5. All teams under 14, 15, 17 and under 19
qualified for the Leinster cross country. It was held in Santry demesne in February. Our under 19
and under 14 team finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a place in the All Irelands. Shane Coffey
yet again qualified for the All Irelands and under 14 runner Cathal McCarthy qualified also. The All
Irelands School Cross Country was held in Santry on the 7 of March. Not many reached this stage
                                                             th

of the season so it was great to have the two lads representing the school. Shane finished in fifth
place in the country, in a very competitive 6000m race, which is a fantastic achievement. Cathal
also ran a great race. Well done to the two lads.

Well done to all the athletes for getting out and representing our school this year. Great to see a big
turnout from the first year students. We hope to welcome lots more athletes next year. Massive
thanks to Ms. Kilcoyne for organising training sessions and taking care of the teams.

Congratulations to the Junior Golfers, Eoin Freeman, Darragh Behan and Andrew Curran who won
the All Ireland Schools Junior Golf Title for the first time in the history of the school in 2019. The
team was honoured in January at the Golfing Union of Ireland, Champions' Dinner at Carton House.
This is an annual "Black Tie", occasion that recognises all the Irish golfing success stories of the
year from the Juvenile ranks right up to Shane Lowry's fantastic success in the "Open
Championship" in Royal Portrush. Our very own champions won their All Ireland title on a beautiful
day in Royal Portstewart, which is to host the Irish Open in 2021, back in April 2019. Well done
again boys, you represented yourselves, your families and your school with great pride and the very
best of luck to you all in your future golfing adventures.

In early December 2019, Brian Gibson, a Forensic Scientist from Forensic Science Ireland, gave
some of our senior students a presentation called DNA profiling (The Leaving Cert, CSI and the
Real World).
It was a hugely interesting presentation where Brian gave examples and explained how forensic
science helps the Guards catch the bad guys!
He refused to tell the group how to remove gunshot residue (GSR) off their hands!!
It was a totally enjoyable presentation that we hope to repeat soon.

                               Architects in Schools
 Architects in Schools' as a orkshop that Naas CBS
hosted in the school in February this year. The workshop
took place over four days and was sponsored by the Irish
Architecture Foundation. Our students were taken through
the design process with architect Ghinlon Wang who also
taught our students the basics of model making.

The design task set for students was how the library space
in the school could be reimagined to reflect the digital age.
These libraries incorporated more informal seating and
desk arrangements where students can meet in groups
and discuss group work, while also including more formal
'quiet zones', where students can focus on individual study. There
were a number of groups that took a departure from the brief and
found totally alternative uses for the space.

The workshops provided a valuable insight into the design process
and how architects think and work. There were a number of students
present who are very interested in studying architecture and can use
the experience when preparing a portfolio for college courses and
interviews.

The students seemed to enjoy the workshops and learned a lot from
the experience.

Over the school year, the Greenschools committee has done many things for the school. We have
had many displays in the assembly area which informed the school about how water affects people's
lives.
We installed water harvesting tanks beside the gym to help the school conserve water. We will use
this water to water all of the plants in the school garden.
In October we held a green school climate action week highlighting the impact that the fashion
industry has on climate change. We made a display and put it up in the assembly. During that week
we held a clothes collection/competition and donated the clothes to local charities. We collected a
total of 84kgs of clothes
We also had a water awareness day where we helped raise awareness of humanity's water usage
throughout the world and it was also a rag day where people wore the colour blue.
In late Februar e did a Walk for Water , here e alked through the to n ith a large 5th ear

This school ear, the school s Amnest group launched their first campaign in ol ing the issue of
direct provision. We aimed to have a week in our school highlighting the issue of direct provision.

What is Direct Provision?

 The Direct Pro ision s stem as launched in 2000 to pro ide housing, food and other necessities
to people seeking asylum in Ireland. Direct Provision centres are hostels, hotels and other
accommodation owned and run by private companies for profit, paid for by the Government. Direct
Provision was designed as a short-term emergency measure. It has instead become a system where
people are trapped in limbo for years, often in overcrowded conditions, without adequate facilities
and supports. It is particularly harsh for children, and for vulnerable adults who have experienced
trauma and even torture before arriving in Ireland. Centres are often in isolated locations far from
local communities, and some lack facilities that allo people to cook for themsel es. - Amnesty
International Ireland

The campaign included multiple guest speakers,
who took time out of their days, to come in and
inform the group about the details of Direct
Provision and the current problems around the
issue. Our first guest speaker was Deirdre Walsh,
Youth Activism Officer in Amnesty Ireland. The
Amnesty team along with 2F, who decided to help
with the campaign, learned about the direct
pro ision s stem in Ireland. Deirdre s talk
elevated our understanding of the issue. She
brought us through the horrific circumstances that some of the people endure before entering Ireland
and then detailed the conditions which they are living in now. After the talk, we wanted to do
something about this issue.

                             issue and wanted to raise awareness of this system which had been in

                             the Direct Provision Week was in full swing in the school. The Amnesty
                             team had constructed a display in the assembly, for information about
                             our campaign. We also created a class teaching our fellow students
                             about the issue, which we gave to the religion and CSPE departments
                             to have this tailored lesson.

                            During the week we had two guest speakers to present to multiple
                            classes. Rory, Integration Projects Manager from the Irish Refugee
                            Council, spoke to students. His presentation was excellent and
                            described his organisation s role in this issue. Ror de eloped a
Housing Programme, which sees people accommodate secure tenancies, and employment-based
projects done in partnership with different employers and employment support agencies. He spent
nine years documenting the direct provision system and its consequences as a photographer.

During the latter half of the week, Mavis Ramazani
who lives in direct provision held multiple talks. She
is an activist and educator working with Amnesty
International. Mavis was awarded a WoW 2020 by
Outlandish Theatre Platform for her inspiring
intersectional grassroots work around gender
equality and social justice, and also received the
Health Hero award by Irish Times in 2018 for helping
improve the lives for vulnerable persons in the
community. Mavis detailed her own experience in
South Africa before she was forced to move to
Ireland and talked about the direct provision system.
Her story was truly inspirational and thought-
provoking.

                                           On the Thursday we held our main action for our
                                           campaign, a bake sale in the assembly. The class of 2F
                                           ran the fundraiser with all proceeds going towards buying
                                           gifts for the children living in the Newbridge direct
                                           provision centre. We had gotten into contact with the
                                           centre in Newbridge and wanted to give Christmas
                                           presents to the 33 children at the centre. The bake sale
                                           was a resounding success and we would like to thank you
                                           to everyone who contributed.

                                           Along with this fundraiser, we collected signatures from
                                           students to sign a petition for the government, urging
                                           more action to be taken on this issue. The Amnesty team
                                           sent these to Amnesty Ireland, to give to the government.

During the last week of school before Christmas, a small delegation from the Amnesty Team visited
the direct provision centre in Newbridge. We had wrapped a selection box for each of the children,
and also had a card from the team and a 40 gift voucher for Smyths Toy Store. The visit was a
festive celebration. We had arrived during their Christmas celebration with a clown performing and
a visit from a Santa Claus. The visit was truly insightful, to visit the centre where multiple families
                                                                                                    34

are forced to live and are doing their best with their circumstances. The staff were heart-warming
and kind, they organised a trip to Smyths Toy Store for the parents to use the gift vouchers. One of
the class of 2F, Fionn Lardner, also had donated a football table, which the children loved.

Sadly our LGBTI+ campaign, to educate students around this topic, was postponed due to the
school closures. Our aim was to demonstrate solidarity with the LGBTI+ community, and show
acceptance of all students and their identities. We had planned to host an LGBTI+ rag day in the
school, where each of the school years would wear one of the colours of the flag. This would be
coupled with workshops for a few of the years, to raise awareness and educate the student body
about this campaign. We will certainly continue our efforts campaigning for human rights, when
feasible, during the next year.

The Amnesty team would like to thank Mr. Coy, Ms. Kearns, Ms. Prendervile and Mr. Reilly for all
their work with the team. Their invaluable help was greatly appreciated!

                                            Meitheal
Meitheal has as long as I can remember been an important aspect of student involvement in Naas
CBS and the school has always gone above and beyond to facilitate and encourage the programme
amongst sixth year students!
This ear s Meitheal team consists of ten students, Bill Egan, Charles Choiseul, Eoin Valentine,
Eoghan Kelly, Fiachra McManus, Joe Eustace, Matthew Cusack, Rossa Stapleton, Sean O Rourke
and Tom McMahon who were guided throughout the year by Mairead Murphy, our Meitheal contact
teacher!
There are a number of things that we had to do to become Meitheal. Towards the end of fifth year
we had to take part in interviews with Robert Norton the founder of Meitheal. With many of our fellow
year mates equally deserving of the programme also applying for one of the ten places made the
decision very difficult for Rob. After sometime it was announced that we were the lucky ten to be
chosen and that we would have to travel to Castletown during the summer for training and
teambuilding about how we should guide our first years.
The training was intense and tiring but extremely worth it! We built stronger friendships with our own
Meitheal team but also new ones with other trainee Meitheal in Castletown! Our days were filled
with team building exercises and being taught activities to help us connect with our first years and
how to deal with students that needed a hand to deal with settling in, finding their way around the
school or in fact any other problems they may encounter! We also put together plans of activities
that we would do with our first years come September and how we would handle the classes during
their first few weeks.
When schools reopened after summer we were assigned two Meitheal to a class in most cases and
we met with the first year teachers and year head so that we could organise an appropriate
timetable. After this we met with our classes and for the first two weeks we spent a lot of time with
them answering questions and teaching them the workings of the school. After the initial two weeks
we were able to stop the class visits and change them to weekly visits to their locker areas where
they could speak to us about any worries they could have in a confidential setting.
In the meantime we were organising our activities
including a cinema trip, a table quiz, and a disco that we
organised with the help of St Marys Meitheal team.
Other smaller activities such as goodie bags at
Christmas were also organised. All turned out to be a
huge success and we bonded strongly with our first year
classes. Unfortunately due to the coronavirus pandemic
we were unable to complete our final activities that we
had planned including a pizza party and possible sports
day and also our Meitheal grad which was planned for
March of this year. We hope to do something to make
up for this in the future

                                                                                                   41

We are hopeful that we ensured that each first year student had a welcoming and enjoyable year in
CBS and we are looking forward to the days when we get to see some of our 1 years become
                                                                                     st

Meitheal leaders to their very own first year group!
On behalf of all the Meitheal leaders we would like to thank Mr Travers, Ms Corcoran, the
management team and all the teachers who helped watch over any events we organised. Their work
is extremely appreciated and ensured a smooth sailing year.
A special thanks to Ms Murphy who encouraged all our plans and helped fix any issues we may
have encountered. Her work helped us to carry out all of the activities for the first years and we are
extremely lucky to have been guided with such professionalism.
Finally we would like to thank all of our first year students for all your great work this year. We
thoroughly enjoyed working with you all and we hope to see you all sometime in the near future!!

                                   Meitheal Disco
The Meitheal Disco was a disco setup for the 1st years of Naas CBS and St. Mary's Secondary
schools in Naas CBS assembly hall.

The night consisted of many songs that most people like, there was also a shop selling chocolate,
sweets, Coke and other drinks for 1.

The entrance was split and both schools had a coat room and a cooldown room.

The night was very fun and entertaining too with many dances going around the dance floor.

I think everyone liked the disco and I thank the Meitheal for setting it up.

The AerPrize competition was held in Casement
Aerodrome, Baldonnel, on Friday the 13th of March
led by Seosamh Somers. The competition is to
promote STEM subjects in secondary schools which
sees two winners out of twelve to go to California for
6 weeks to train for their private pilots licence.
Although I did not get into the first two, I got a great
day out in Baldonnel where we had a tour of the
facility. Here we got to see all the Aer Corps
helicopters and airplanes and then the garda
helicopters. The interesting part of this was that we
saw the government jet and planes taking off and
landing in the aerodrome. Another stage of the day
was where we undertook various computer based
aptitude tests. The depth and the quality of the assessment provided by the Aer Corps was nothing
short of amazing. As part of the assessment, competitors also had to take controls of a pilatus PC9
aircraft simulator under the watchful eyes of an Aer Corps personnel. The day out was amazing and
I ouldn t ha e gotten this far ithout the help of m ph sics teacher, Ms O'Brien.

of the debating team. She helps us prepare and practise speeches for debates and also organises
some debates bet een the CBS, St. Mar s and Pipers Hill.
All of the members of the junior debating team come and practise debating on Tuesdays during
lunch. During these practises, we brainstorm points and motions for debates, come up with rebuttals
for debates, practise speeches and host house debates.
As I mentioned in the first paragraph, there are debates bet een the CBS, St. Mar s and Pipers
Hill throughout the year. During the debates, there is a chairperson and timekeeper from the hosting
school, and an adjudicator from each school. After each debate, points are awarded for the winner
of the debate, and for best speaker.

The senior debating team this year consisted of Andrew O'Grady, Jacob Creevey, Hugh Barrett,
Eoin Keogh, Mateusz Mizgala and Daniel Connolly. Debating is a fantastic activity, it allows one to
build confidence, improve speech writing and is of great benefit to your English and argumentative
skills as a whole. As per usual now, we took part in the concern debates which are a fantastic way
to educate yourself about current global issues while seeing several sides to a story. The team was
excellently mentored by Ms Van Esbeck who helped us perfect our speeches and we greatly
appreciate the time and effort she puts in. I would highly recommend debating to anyone hoping to
improve their public speaking, confidence or English as it is an ample opportunity to do so while
meeting new people and having fun, plus there's snacks at the end of each debate.

In October 2019, a number of sixth year students travelled to Castletown, County Laois for a sixth
year retreat. A one day trip, this event gave the lads a break from classes and an opportunity to look
toward the year ahead in a different way. Through a number of activities, the students gained a
positive outlook on the year ahead. These activities involved mindfulness, reflection and team-
building exercises. Throughout the course of the day, students learned about the importance of
mental wellbeing during a challenging year. All the lads had an enjoyable day and recommended
that future years avail of this great experience.

Irish students explore Aulendorf(Germany) and the states of
Baden Wuerttemberg, Bavaria and parts of Austria.

As it is by now tradition, TY students from CBS Naas and St.
Mar s College Naas ent to Germany to take part in the TY
German exchange. On December 3rd 2019 six boys and ten
girls travelled to the airport together with their teachers Ms
Shanahan (St. Mar s) and Ms Lonergan.

Their first stop was Munich where they spent a couple of
hours exploring the center of the city and visiting their first
Christmas markets, of which there are many in Munich.
Later a bus brought them to Aulendorf, where they met their
exchange partners for the first time.
The students got to spend their time in class with their
exchange partners and the afternoons and evenings with
their host families. Here they got the opportunity to
experience normal life in school, with their families and
numerous activities in the afternoons and evenings.
Some of the highlights were a sightseeing tour through Aulendorf      ith t pical Kaffee und Kuchen

One of the day trips brought them to the                Another day the group visited Bregenz and took
Christmas market in Ulm and a visit to the              a cable car trip up to the summit of the Mountain

In March, a group of Sixth Years got the chance to travel on a theatre trip to London with two
teachers, Ms. Van Esbeck and Ms. Woulfe. Upon arriving in the city, we first went on a tour of
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, where we learned about the theatre's various features. We then did
a Hamlet workshop and learned about the ways in which Shakespeare wrote his plays. Finally, we
went to the Sondheim Theatre, where we saw a stage production of Les Misérables. The production
was brilliant, and it was a fitting end to an excellent day. Thanks to Ms. Van Esbeck and Ms. Woulfe
for the great trip.

In September 2019, all sixth year students attended the Higher Options event in the RDS, Dublin.
This event, organised by the Irish Times, gave students an insight into college courses and career
options. Stalls were also organised to present students with an overview of various colleges and
universities, helping students to find the best option for them. On a jam-packed day, students were
also given the chance to meet other people from many counties around the country with similar
interests. The event brought students together in an informative environment, giving students a tool
to plan for the future. And of course, nobody complained about a day away from classes.
