Hi All, Thanks once again to everyone regarding their ongoing commitment to Online Teaching and Learning. We know it is extremely challenging but so far everyone is making a massive effort in ensuring it is successful. As you are aware, the DES are in constant talks concerning decisions to be made re the Reopening of schools in a phased process( more likely) as well as planning for the assessment of our State Examination students in June or otherwise. During the past week , we were delighted to catch up with 1st yrs,2nd Yrs,3RD Yrs,5th yrs and 6th yrs. It was great to meet them and to receive feedback from them. We are meeting TY students on Tuesday next. We continue to have daily Senior Management Team meetings. Our Assistant Principals continue to meet weekly as does our Pastoral Care Team .If there is somebody struggling that you feel we do not know about ,please contact us. We would especially like to compliment our Student Council for being so supportive in providing valuable feedback for us at our weekly meeting with them and representing us on Thursday at a conference on Student Voice. On Friday next , the 5th of February, we are having a Staff Meeting at 1.30pm. So we will be finishing class at 1.05pm and providing a welcome afternoon break from the screens for our students. Meanwhile as a staff , we have been reviewing aspects of our Positive Behaviour Policy and investigating new approaches to further enhance our tracking of Academic Performance. We hope you all have a restful weekend. Kind Regards, Denis, Maurice and Maria
