20/6/2017

Comments

 
​Robin Hood coming to Naas was initially a vision of Ms. McCarvilles, made possible only through the wonderful efforts and hard work of pupils, staff and parents. Well done to all on a great success and well done and thank you to Ms. McCarville for making it all possible.

Robin Hood

Picture
This year pupils from 4th, 5th and 6th class will be performing in the school's musical which will be a modern day version of Robin Hood. Acting and dancing auditions took place in January and rehearsals are currently underway.

 St. Corban's Robin Hood is a tale of the dashing, the dastardly and the dumb. Robin Hood must protect the people of Naas from the tyranny of the evil sheriff Simon Cowell, while protecting Maid Marian from the sheriff's advances. Meanwhile the sheriff's two best men, Ant and Dec are carrying out their master's orders with all the efficiency and intelligence of a sloth on strike from the Glass Hammer Store. Will Robin get the girl? Will the Sheriff's evil plans prevail? Will Ant and Dec figure out what comes after 3? Find out in the Moat Theatre on the 31st of May, 1st and 2nd of June 2017.
Tickets for Robin Hood are on sale daily from 11:15am-12:30pm. Adult tickets are 10 euro and child tickets are 5 euro. Tickets for the musical can be bought only through the school. There are currently no tickets left for the Friday performance.

On the 5th of February the school choir travelled to the RDS, Dublin to  performance in the 2017 Peace Proms. They joined 2,500 children from other schools and choirs from around the country to perform a variety of songs and medleys with a group of live musicians in front of an audience of 4,000. A big 'Thank You' to the boy's families and friends who came along to support them on the day. A great time was had by all.

We were delighted to have Santa Claus visit St. Corbans before he begins his busy journey on Christmas Eve. Junior infants entertained him with their lovely Christmas singing. Santa got a great reception from all the boys and their teachers. Thanks to Santa, his elf and especially Ms. Mc Cormack for making it possible.

Our Oak Tree Ceremony

17/11/2016

Comments

 
Today we attended a special ceremony with Br. Brennan and the 2 Junior Infant classes. The ceremony was to recognise the fact that Br. Brennan was the last Christian Brother to teach in our school and Ms. McDermott and Ms. Donnelly’s classes are the first two classes of Junior Infants in the history of St. Corban’s. Our 3 classes walked out to the little garden at the back of our school to see Br. Brennan planting an oak tree.

First he explained that the name of ‘Cill Dara’ comes from the great oak tree. He went on to share the old saying ‘From great acorns do great oak trees grow’ which is a very important saying for all teachers. He told us how the smallest of acorns can grow into the biggest tree in the forest. He then planted the tree in the soil. After that, he covered up the roots with some compost he brought from the Monastery. Next Mr. Drewett, Mahmud and Tahseen poured some water over the soil. Mr. Drewett, Ms. Howard, Ms. Donnelly, Ms. McDermott, Ms. Bonner, Ms. Dunne and pupils blessed it with some palm and Holy Water. Br. Brennan explained that this is a very important tradition. Finally we took pictures with Br. Brennan and said ‘Slán’ to Br. Brennan.

We will enjoy walking past the oak tree in 50 years time.

By Conor McGrane, Dara Ryan and Scott Whelan - Ms. B. Dunne’s 4th Class

Shoebox Appeal

17/11/2016

Comments

 
​Many thanks to all the teachers, staff and in particular the boys and their families for supporting the shoebox appeal this year. The appeal was an amazing success with a contribution of 242 boxes in total. Your generosity and kindness will not only make a child’s Christmas this year, it has also reminded the boys of the true meaning of Christmas and the spirit of giving.
