Good morning everybody, I hope this message finds you well. To all of the school community mothers, I hope you managed to mark Mother's Day yesterday albeit in a very different way this year. Certainly, the use of FaceTime, WhatsApp and other communication tools has never been so necessary and welcome. While it can be a challenging time to remain apart from our loved ones and friends, the weekend again highlighted the importance of following the social distance and hygiene advice that we have been given. I am appealing again to the entire school community to play your part in minimising the spread of Covid-19. Every one of us has a role to play, young and older. The State Examinations Commission have published a Frequently Asked Questions document following the announcement of the cancellation of the Leaving Certificate Oral examinations and some of the practical examinations. This document can be found here: www.examinations.ie/misc-doc/BI-SE-67826275.pdf The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) also issued an update with regard to CBAs for 2nd and 3rd students. You can see the dates involved here: ncca.ie/media/4500/junior_cycle_key_dates_2019_2020.pdf I will keep you updated as new information is received. In the meantime, continue to take care and keep up with your studies as best you can. Best wishes J Leonard, Principal.

Good morning everybody, Ms McDonnell had planned on giving back the aptitude test results to the fourth years during this time and had also scheduled some one to one sessions in relation to subject choice for 5th year. Mr Dennehy has set up an email address through which parents can access their son/daughter's report. If parents could email levelgreport@cpckilcullen.com and put their child's name in the subject bar Mr Dennehy will be able to send the report to you. Ms McDonnell says that any students who made an appointment with her re subject choice will be prioritised on our return and if anyone would like to contact her via email ( elainemcdonnell@cpckilcullen.com ) regarding this while we are away from school that is no problem at all. My thanks to Ms McDonnell and Mr Dennehy for this. J Leonard.

Good morning everybody, My thanks to Ms Carty for putting together the attached document outlining some techniques to help us all to take care of ourselves during this time. It is so important to mind ourselves and I think each one of us and our families should give this a try. I hope it is useful. Ms Carty also recommends the app 'Calm", which has a free section and may be worth a look too. Best wishes J Leonard
