Mock exams - important information and payment details

Dear Parents/Guardians, I hope you are keeping well. As notified also via email, I am writing to you with regard to the Mock Exams which will take place in the coming weeks (Junior Cycle 3rd - 10th Feb, Leaving Certificate 30th Jan - 10th Feb, Leaving Certificate Applied 7th - 10th Feb). The mock exams provide an important objective and independent assessment in each subject as the exam papers for the mocks are set and marked by teachers outside the school. A small number of teachers set and correct their own exams as it suits the subject better. This is factored into the cost. This gives each student a very accurate idea of how well their study and revision is progressing. In this regard students establish clearly the areas in each subject where they need to focus. It helps teachers also to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching and learning of their subject. Arising from the cost of buying the papers and paying for their correction, the cost is: €110 per student in 3rd year €126 per student in 6th year €70 per student in 6L This needs to be paid by Monday 13th February 2023 at the latest please. Please pay Mock Exam Fees through the shop link you receive through the school app. If for any reason you are unable to do this please contact the school office to arrange an alternative method. There is an option to pay in full or in two instalments. Unfortunately, while medical cards may cover the cost of State Examinations the same facility is not available for the mocks. The school can not cover the cost of mock exams so it is essential that payment is received in order to facilitate correction for your son/daughter. Yours Sincerely Joe Leonard Principal
