Hi all, hopefully you are all doing your best to stay positive and healthy in the current climate. The link below opens a Google sites page on which I have placed a number of ideas for home exercise regimes and a link to a meditation app. I believe the link will only open if you are a member of our school gmail organisation so parents, you might need to access the link through your son's school email. Its worth doing though, as there are lots of ideas for exercise starved pupils and parents! For instance, the body coach link on the site kicks off at 9am tomorrow. Best wishes, B.

Updated Google Classroom Codes

Please find attached the most recently updated list of Google Classroom codes. Both documents have the same information but the codes are sorted by Year Group in the first one and by Teacher Name in the second. Teachers have also highlighted when work will be posted. If access details to Google Classroom need to be updated please email us - info@summerhillcollege.ie We encourage all to keep in the regular school routine. In order to study or revise work, we suggest following the school timetable. For those in exam years, working through past papers is an excellent way to revise as it helps to identify areas of the curriculum that may need to be revisited. Many of the companies who compile these papers also provide solutions/model answers online for students to compare their work to. All of this will help to minimise the impact of this closure. Thank You and Keep Safe!
