Today, our school community in CBC observed a minute's silence as a mark of respect for all those affected by the terrible tragedy last Friday in Creeslough, Co Donegal. This tragedy is a terrible blow to a community that is closely knit and where every loss and injury will be felt by every member of the community and far beyond. All of our thoughts and prayers go to those who have lost their lives, their families and communities. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha
We are delighted to be teaming with Output Sports to build our Athletic Development programme here in CBC. This technology is available to the full student body. Output gives us simple, reliable and cutting edge data to bring our LTAD model to another level. Stephen O'Hanrahan explains how it will be used to support each student. Congratulations to the CBC Class of 2022 on their excellent results and in particular to Leon Reilly who achieved an amazing 8 H1 grades. Well done Leon!
The Inaugural Rugby Development Fund Golf Day in Foxrock was a huge success. We had a full golf course during the day and were subsequently joined by many others on the night for a sit down dinner. We would like to thank all of our sponsors, volunteers, past pupils and of course Foxrock Golf course for all of their help and support on the day. It was a massive effort by all and is something we will look to grow for next year with the view of making this an annual event. The raffle also took place on the night and the list of winners is available below. The total amount raised between the Golf Day and the Raffle was over €25,000 which was beyond our original expectations for the day. Huge credit is due to all the players who sold an enormous amount of raffle tickets to family and friends alike. We managed to get some pictures of our Golf Teams on the day and also some of the players who volunteered to act as caddies on the day. Both the Senior and Junior Cup teams are now looking forward to their Tour to France at the end of the month before starting both of their respective league campaigns in October in order to qualify for the Cups in the New Year. We wish them all the best for the season ahead. See attached file with all the raffle winners on the day. Congratulations.

Charlotte Quay was the venue for the Docklands Schools Rowing Blitz on a warm and sunny 5th May in Dublin. The CBC students rowed in a coxed quad (4 rowers holding two oars) over a 200m sprint course organised by Rowing Ireland. Three of the four crews qualified for the semi-finals and two then reached the final for the opportunity to win the overall prize. The gold medals were never in doubt as a crew of Giulio Fantini, Niall Monahan, Darragh O’Kane and Fillippo Anderlini led after the first stroke and powered over the line with a three-length win. For all participants it proved to be a really nice taste of the sport and an opportunity to see the potential to take the discipline to the next level.
