Happy Easter to the entire CPC community

I would like to wish all students, staff members, parents/guardians and your loved ones a safe and enjoyable Easter break. We look forward to welcoming back all of our students on April 12th. I would like to thank everybody for playing their part in ensuring that the phased reopening of the school has gone so well. As we enter a period of holiday the Department of Education has sent the following message: "It is important that we all continue to follow public health advice and limit our contacts during this period in order to minimise any opportunity for the virus to spread within our families and our communities. The Government and the Department will continue to support this with public health messaging to parents and students on the need to abide by the public health advice, emphasising hygiene practices, social distancing and recognising symptoms of Covid. Particular attention will be paid to the issue of socialising and playdates. In relation to school transport and in advance of the return after the Easter break, Bus Eireann will issue reminders to bus contractors, parents and students of their obligations to adhere rigorously to public health recommendations developed for school transport. Social distancing on post primary services of 50% capacity has now been achieved on virtually all routes on the post-primary scheme and for post-primary provision on the SEN scheme." I would echo this appeal to follow public health advice and limit our contacts so that we can reopen fully on April 12th. I look forward to a successful final term and brighter times ahead. J Leonard

Our TY students engaged really well and many felt their understanding of and interest in technology has increased. It was particularly interesting to discover how technology is used in almost every profession and lifestyle.

Tomorrow, the 26th of March, marks the annual Le Chéile Day. In celebration of this, Le Chéile has organised a 'Drop Everything and Pray' initiative which invites all 74 Le Chéile Schools to join together virtually at 10:00 am tomorrow for a short prayer service. The prayer service will take less than 15 minutes and will conclude with the virtual student choir (which some of our own students have been involved in) singing the Le Chéile hymn. It is the hope that 35,000+ Le Chéile students around the country would pause to pray and reflect together at this time, creating a sense of unity. If you wish to join us at 10:00am tomorrow, you can do so by clicking the link below. LINK: vimeo.com/529214325

Important information for 6th years

Dear students and parents/guardians, as you know, the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) is currently closed and students can not access or alter the entries they made ahead of its closure on March 16th. In the guide sent to you on 9th March, advice was given for students to keep their options open pending the release of further changes being made to examination papers which were published and sent to you on March 23rd. It is possible that since students made their entries on the CSSP that they have changed their mind, either to not sit an examination or to sit an examination. Given that oral interviews will take place over the Easter holidays and there will be no other opportunity to complete an interview it is essential that we know exactly who wishes to be facilitated to complete an interview. Therefore, if a student registered to sit the examination in Irish, French, German, Spanish, Japanese or Russian and now wishes to withdraw from this they (if 18 or over, if under 18 a parent please) should email me to state that they are withdrawing from the examination in whatever subject applies. If a student did not register to sit an examination in Irish, French, German, Spanish, Japanese or Russian and now wishes to, they should email me immediately so that arrangements can be made to accommodate an oral interview for them. In both cases please email joeleonard@cpckilcullen.com When the CSSP opens again in late April/early May students will be able to adjust their selections as necessary to reflect this. Please note that the SEC updated their guidance yesterday evening around the oral interviews and face masks are compulsory for students and teachers throughout the interview. The dates confirmed for the orals so far are: French/German 29th and 30th March Japanese 7th April Irish 8th April Kind regards J Leonard
