Well done to our Third and Sixth Year students who completed their Mock Examinations before the mid-term break. We hope you are recharged now, and we wish you every success with the next few months of preparation and hard work.

‪EDMUND RICE EDUCATION BEYOND BORDERS (EREBB)
EREBB is an international network of Catholic schools which educate young people from many different faiths and cultures. In more than twenty countries EREBB endeavours to promote global solidarity and to offer a transformational education for justice and liberation. In February, ERST Ireland hosted a very engaging, enlightening and stimulating EREBB gathering in Dublin, and CBS Kilkenny was delighted to be part of it.

Since then, our TY students have been preparing for International Earth Hour 2019, contacting local businesses asking them to take part on March 30th, spreading the message of the importance of Eco-Justice. Our ERI ambassadors also enjoyed a very engaging discussion in Dáil Eireann on Save the Seas, where they met Minister David Stanton and Senator Grace O’Sullivan.
CONCERN DEBATING 
The nationwide Concern Debates league phase is now complete, and we are delighted to be in the top 5 from 140 schools. The boys have worked extremely hard and are looking forward to the next phase. Well done to the team and to their mentors, Mr O'Brien and Ms Maher.

NEW SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT
Our plans for the new school for CBS Kilkenny are well advanced. A number of fundraisers are in the pipeline and many thanks for your ongoing extremely generous support.

You can follow our progress and support the different fundraisers through our dedicated website, www.cbskilkennydevelopment.com. Sincere thanks to Anna Walsh for her outstanding website and IT development work.
