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.

School Mass September 2022
This morning our school mass was celebrated in the lunchroom, marking the first time the whole school has gathered together for mass since before the beginning of the pandemic. It was a joyful occasion and a wonderful way to mark a return to normality after the past years of disruption to regular school life.
Back to School 2022
The corridors of the Prep School were buzzing this morning with the arrival of students and staff back to school after the summer break. Old friends and new chatted excitedly with a highlight of the day being our first morning assembly for prayers in the lunchroom since pre-COVID times!
The morning was spent organising school books and getting to know new teachers with lots of fun and games. Pictured below are our 4th Class boys with their teacher, Mrs. Caroline FitzPatrick, who staged a “snowstorm” in the yard as part of their ice breaking activities.
