FIRST YEAR SOCCER

TY FIRST AID

Our TY students are continuing with their first aid course and are thoroughly enjoying learning all the intricacies of CPR. 

TY Bag Pack for Muscular Dystrophy

Last Friday our TY students took part in a charity bag pack in Dunnes Stores in aid of Muscular Dystophy Ireland.  It is not known as yet how much the boys helped raise but certainly Arklow CBS are proud to support this very worthy charity.

LCVP Work Experience

Our LCVP students have spent the week on work experience in companies around the town. This week gives the students a valuable insight into the world of work and also allows them the chance to sample possible careers they may choose to follow in the future.  Arklow CBS really appreciates the opportunity afforded to our students by the local companies who offer placements.
