After School Cookery Club
There has been a phenomenal interest in Ms McAdoo and Mrs FitzPatrick’s After School Cookery Club. The boys made scones in Week 1 and last week had a Mexican theme with boys teaming up to make Chilli Con Carne, Chicken Quesadillas, Nachos, Guacamole and Salsa. They also made some delicious desserts. Parents were able to put their feet up as the boys ate their fill of delicious dinner in school that day!

World Diabetes Day
A very successful fundraiser for World Diabetes Day was held in the Preparatory School on 14th November. A coffee morning for parents was held in the lunch room in the morning. Classes then gathered for the grand raffle draw and to watch brief video about Type 1 Diabetes. Following this, 3rd-6th Classes remained in the lunch room to do a maths challenge related to calculating carbs, etc. It was a very successful day. A very big thank you to Mrs. Niamh Power and all on the Parents’ Council for arranging a successful event for a very worthy cause.

4th Class Blitz
4th Class visited Pairc Ui Chaoimh twice in the last two weeks to take part in a hurling and a football blitz. The boys were a credit to the school on both occasions and did their teachers proud with their performance both on and off the pitch. They were in full voice on the journeys down and back (there were plenty of squeals as the double decker bus inched under some low hanging tree beaches on the marina!).
Well done boys!

Lord Mayor Visit
CBC Preparatory School were delighted to attend the annual Lord Mayor Visit in the secondary school gym on Friday 7th October. It is one of the very few occasions that the entire school, from Junior Infants to Sixth Year, gathers together in the hall and is always a very special occasion. Lord Mayor, Councilor Deirdre Forde spoke passionately about the city of Cork and encouraged the boys to contact her office if they had any ideas that they think would be useful to make the city an attractive place for them to visit with their families.
Representatives from each class met the Lord Mayor as she arrived at CBC.
