Apologies, I think there might have been an error in the link I sent you about the parent webinar on sleep taking place next Tuesday, the correct link is https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/745937809067?aff=oddtdtcreator.

A good number of parents have located it on Eventbrite, as 439 are registered, but I have updated the link in the information below if you happen to think it worth resending.

Sorry for the confusion, the usual rushing at my end.

Regards
Emmet

It was great to welcome so many parents of our 5th year and 6th year Leaving Cert Applied classes today. Parents were given the opportunity to view project work, listen to a presentation on important LCA information for the year ahead and also enjoy a cup of tea and a scone. Two of our 6th year LCA students Hannah Moloney and Ryan Boyle spoke very well about why they choose the programme and how it has been going for them so far. Ms Elaine McDonnell Guidance Counsellor spoke about pathways and careers after LCA. Overall it was a very successful morning and a pleasure to meet with our LCA parents. Wishing both 5th year and 6th year students all the best in the year ahead!

Dear Parent/Guardian, 

This is a reminder that your son/daughter will be completing the New Group Reading Test (NGRT) on either Wednesday 13th or Friday 15th of September  (depending on their base class). This test determines your son’s/daughter’s reading age, by measuring their reading skills against the national average. The results will inform planning for all subject areas. 

Students in 1A, 1B, 1C and 1E will complete the test on Wednesday. Students in 1D and 1F will complete the test on Friday. 

Your son/daughter requires a standard set of earphones/headphones with an AUX connection (cannot be bluetooth). If you have a set at home, please send them in with your son/daughter on the relevant day for the test. There is no need to purchase a set, there will be some spare sets available in school on the day. 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation with this.
