Thank you.

Dear Principals/Year Heads/Guidance Counsellors/Transition Year Co-Ordinators,

County Kildare has a long-standing twinning partnership with Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A. Under the auspices of this partnership, Kildare County Council has for the past number of years operated a student exchange programme.

This programme fosters communication, education, and an opportunity to meet peers living in Kentucky. 

This opportunity is available to a small number of Kildare students to ‘exchange’ with a student from Lexington in June/July of 2024. The student exchange is open to students aged 16 years or over who might be interested in participating.

The closing date for applications is Friday 12th January 2024.

Enclosed are:

• A poster which you may wish to display in your school.
• An information letter which summarises the programme and provides a link to the online application process.

I would greatly appreciate your support in publicising the exchange programme and ensuring that it is brought to the attention of the students in your care.

If you require any further information, feel free to contact us at: kildarestudentexchange@kildarecoco.ie

Yours sincerely,

Ken Reilly

Dear students, parents and guardians,

In light of the weather warnings in place and the advice from the National Emergency Co-Ordination Group, classes will start at 11.15am tomorrow, Monday 13th November.

No students can be on the premises before 11am.

This is to allow staff and students time to travel safely to school once the warning has lifted and to allow time for examination of any potential damage.

Please take care travelling to school tomorrow and only do so if it is safe.

6th year exams will proceed as scheduled at 11.15am. 6th years who have oral exams scheduled for the morning will have those rescheduled in conjunction with their teacher.

3rd year MFL morning exam scheduled for 9am tomorrow will take place on Wednesday from 9-11am provisionally. Students will then have classes as normal after that on Wednesday.

I will update if there is any change to the above.

Kind regards

Joe Leonard

The TY Community care class has been busy handwriting and delivering positivity notes to 3rd and 6th years ahead of their November assessments. 

They aim to provide a source of affirmation and advice during the assessments. The community care class which every student sitting exmas in the coming week, the very best of luck.
