Our 5th and 6th Yr students who had perfect attendance for the first half term enjoyed a celebratory treat this morning. Mr Leonard presented the certificates of merit commending the students on their commitment and dedication to daily attendance. Well done to all the 5th and 6th yrs on this impressive achievement. Ms Mills and Ms Fennell would like to wish all the students the best for the next half term. 

Dear Chairperson/Secretary,

I hope this email finds you well. 

I'm reaching out to inform you about an exciting giveaway that we're running at Inspire Education to support 6th year students in their study and revision efforts. 

To celebrate our first full year working in partnership with Eason, we are offering 20 lucky students the chance to win a place at a study skills workshop at University College Dublin on Saturday, January 11th, 2025 along with a bundle of our Leaving Cert Study & Revision Resources.

To help spread the word, I have attached a digital poster, that you can share with your parents. 

The poster includes a QR code that links directly to the online form to enter.

The giveaway is open to 6th Year Students. All entrants should be 18 years or older. If younger than 18, a parent/guardian can enter on the student's behalf.

The winners will be notified before the Christmas holidays. We are excited to offer this opportunity to help students prepare for their exams and equip them with the study strategies and resources to succeed.

Dear Principal,

The National Transport Authority (NTA) have worked closely with As I Am, Irelands Autism Charity, to prepare and assist Autistic people, and help them build their confidence to use public transport.

Research was carried out with parents of Autistic children, which highlighted that schools are a vital part of their network and the most relevant source for this type information to be shared.

Resources on how to use public transport include:

• How to videos
• Activity Packs
• Information Cards, Visual Guides and more

We are currently running a campaign to highlight these resources available on the Transport for Ireland website, Transport for Ireland , and would be grateful if you could distribute this information to the parents of your school.

I attach the poster for our campaign.

Many thanks for your support on this.

Congratulations to Ryan Sheridan and his team St Patrick’s Athletic who beat Shamrock Rovers to win the LOI U15 League recently. Ryan played in the EA Sports MU15 LOI Michael Hayes cup match between Cork City and St Patrick’s Athletic in Turners Cross Cork. He scored a super goal to equalise in the last minute of extra time guaranteeing his team secured a penalty shoot out. Unfortunately they were beaten on penalties but it was a super day for him and his team. Ryan won Goal of the Season for this achievement at the annual awards ceremony. Ryan is pictured with the League Trophy, his Goal of the Season Award and with his team. We are very proud of Ryan as he participates in the FAI Academy Programme this year. We wish him continued success.

Our thanks to Fiona and Niamh from Agri Aware who facilitated a very interesting Farm Safety workshop. Students had the opportunity to learn about current best practices and how best to ensure the highest possible standards are maintained. The programme aims to deliver a rounded guide to farm safety, ensuring that the work we do on farms is safe by recognising and increasing awareness around the dangers on farms so that we can all farm sustainably and in a safe environment for all.
