TY students had a very busy day in addition to their normal classes with two very interesting experiences. As it is Eating Disorder Awareness Week, BodyWhys.ie organised a very informative and positive series of speakers to share their thoughts on a range of topics such as Culture and Body Image, Social Media and Media Literacy, How running impacted upon my relationship with my body, Body Confidence in Men. We then participated in a Program a Mini Computer workshop facilitated by the Munster Technical University where we were shown how to use Microbits. It was a fascinating insight to coding and the impact it has on our daily lives.

Dear students and parents/guardians, please see attached an important announcement from the Music department regarding this year's musical cancellation. Obviously it is regrettable that we will not be able to put on a musical this year but unfortunately the ongoing restrictions and continuation of remote learning for TY students has led to this. I would like to thank the staff and students who have engaged so well in the process of auditioning and rehearsing in the most challenging circumstances and I have no doubt that the students will have benefitted from the experience. There will be brighter days ahead and hopefully in 2022 we will be back on stage! Kind regards J Leonard

Update for 3rd year students and parents/guardians

Dear students and parents/guardians, as you know the government announced last week that the Junior Cycle examinations have been cancelled for June 2021. To date, we are still awaiting further guidance from the Department of Education as to how 3rd year students will be assessed to reflect their achievements in Junior Cycle. It is likely that the format will be similar to last year, a mixture of an in school assessment(s) and consideration of the achievements in learning throughout the 3 years of Junior Cycle to produce a result for students. This will likely form the basis for a school report which will be followed up with a state certificate of completion of the Junior Cycle years. All of this is yet to be confirmed but I wanted to give you an update given that the announcement by government is now one week ago. While we await further guidance, it is important that you continue to engage fully in remote learning in all of your subjects. As you know, plans are in place for your return to school after the Easter Holidays so it is important that you keep going in the weeks ahead until then. Your work during this period of remote learning will be part of your teachers assessment of your learning in each subject. The website below is a dedicated webpage for Junior Cycle updates. You can see below the most up to date message there is. I hope you enjoy the weekend, stay safe and I look forward to you returning when the time comes. I will update you as I receive further information. J Leonard www.gov.ie/juniorcycle This page provides information regarding planning for Junior Cycle assessment 2021 and 2022. Further information regarding arrangements will be posted here as it becomes available. Following a Government decision on 17 February, Minister for Education Norma Foley TD confirmed that the Junior Cycle examinations will not be run in 2021. Schools will be provided with guidance on continuing to engage this year group in online learning and assessment during the period of school closure and through in-person learning when schools re-open. Due to public health considerations, and the logistics of running the Leaving Certificate examinations, it is not considered feasible to run the Junior Cycle Exams 2021. This decision follows intensive engagement with education stakeholders bilaterally and through the Planning for State Examinations 2021 Advisory Group and sub-group.
