Mission Statement
Our school aspires to being a caring Christian centre of learning, where the promotion of an inclusive culture, values of respect for self and others, honest endeavour and efforts to achieve full potential are nurtured.
Midleton CBS entered a team in the F1 in Schools competition for the first time in 2024-25. The students made fantastic progress securing a palce in the national finals and winning Research and Development Award at the 2025 National finals.
Taranis Racing Win National Research and Development Award
We are thrilled to share some exciting news from the F1 in Schools competition, Taranis Racing, our student engineering team from Midleton CBS, have been awarded the prestigious Research and Development Award at this year’s national finals.
The team, made up of six Transition Year students, Maciej Backi, Adrian Cybulko, Zain Hussain, Conal McCarthy, Kien McCarthy, and Harry O'Donovan, impressed the judges with their commitment to innovation, technical skill, and collaborative problem-solving. This award recognises the team that has demonstrated outstanding use of engineering and scientific methods to enhance their car’s performance, an achievement that reflects months of hard work, research, testing, and refinement.
Taranis Racing at the 2025 National Finals
Taranis Racing stood out for their use of advanced design software, aerodynamic testing, and a professional engineering approach that rivals what you'd find in industry settings. Their work was a credit not only to themselves, but to the school and wider community.
None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Boston Scientific, Jim Scannell Motor Factors, AESSEAL Midleton, and Cobots.ie. Their backing has provided the students with invaluable resources and opportunities, and we are truly grateful for their partnership.
We are also delighted to let you know that the same group of students will be taking on the F1 in Schools challenge again next year, building on their experience and aiming even higher. With continued support, they hope to further develop their skills and possibly represent the school at international level.
A huge congratulations to the team and thank you to all the parents for your encouragement and support throughout the year.
