​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​11/12/2020 Re:​Confirmed case of COVID-19 at your child’s school. A confirmed case of COVID-19 in your child’s school has been notified to the Department of Public Health HSE SE. A public health risk assessment has been undertaken and the parents of any children deemed to be close contacts of the confirmed case have been contacted and advised accordingly. Your child has not been identified as a close contact, your child does not need a test for COVID-19, he/she can continue to attend school, and no further actions are required at this time. Household contacts, such as parents and siblings, of close contacts who have no relevant symptoms are not usually asked to restrict their movements. If, at any time, your child develops any symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 infection (such as a cough, a fever, loss or change in sense of taste or smell), please do not send your child to school, contact your GP and begin restricting your child’s movements, as per public health advice. If your child is being sent for a COVID test by their GP, you should try to isolate your child. All members of the household will then need to restrict their movements while awaiting the results of this test. Restricted movement means avoiding contact with other people and social situations as much as possible. It is also sometimes called ‘self-quarantine’. Restricted movement means that your child stays home and: • Does not go to school. • Does not use public transport. • Does not have visitors in your home or visit anybody’s home. • Does not go to the shops or pharmacy, unless absolutely necessary. • Keeps away from older people, anyone with an underlying medical condition. Further information on COVID-19 is available at: www.hpsc.ie and www.gov.ie, or please phone HSE Live 1850 24 1850. Yours sincerely, Dr Kieran O’ Connor MCRN 10051 SMO Public Health

We are a TY Mini Company Group from Blackwater Community School . we decided to produce and sell sweet jars as it is coming up to Christmas time and we thought it would be a good Christmas present idea for people or as a Secret Santa. We will continue to sell them after Christmas as we have received a very positive response to our products in the first few days of advertising. Our small jars cost €2.50 and the large jar costs €3.00. Our sweet jars has a mix of jellies, chewy sweets and chocolate . All these sweets will be in packages and will be sanitised in line with COVID-19 regulations. We hope to do a fundraiser after Christmas with monies going to Breast Cancer charity. To order our products DM us on our Instagram account @Ty_minicompanybcs or contact Abi, Mia or Tara on our school Teams accounts via chat.
