Academic Awards for Junior & Leaving Certificate 2014
The annual academic awards ceremony was held on Fri. 28th November 2014.
The guest speaker was Seán Gillane SC, who provided a vivid, very entertaining, picture of the Justice and Peace group that was active in the 1980s in the school. Yet, it is also clear that the fundamentals of student encouragement and empowerment were then, and still are, part of the CSN landscape.
