Basketball
Arklow CBS took on School Mhuire Thurles in the South East Plate final today. 🏀
It was a tough encounter and unfortunately the CBS boys weren’t able to overcome their opponents who had a few club basketball players and that outside of school experience meant they were more clinical when it came to getting their baskets. The Arklow boys showed great character throughout the match displaying a never give up attitude that while it didn’t get them over the line today will stand them in good stead in the future.
Scorers
MVP: Alex O’Brien 10 points, Alecs Panic 4, Liam Flusk 4, Ryan Flanagan 2
Positivity Week
Positivity Week got off to a bright start today with our opening address by our Head Boy Eoghan Ward and Vice Head-Boys James Keeley and Joe Riley followed by a beautiful walk to South Beach!
Welcome Speech for Positivity Week at Arklow CBS by Eoghan Ward:
Good morning everybody
I’m here to welcome you all positivity week.
This week is all about promoting positive mental health, kindness, and looking after ourselves and each other.
It’s a chance to celebrate the power of a positive mindset and to take part in activities that lift our spirits, bring us together, and remind us that no one is ever alone.
Positivity Week is a reminder that even small actions—kind words, a smile, a moment of gratitude—can make a big difference in someone’s day. Let’s support each other, take part in the activities, and most importantly, enjoy the week ahead.
