Dear Parent/Guardian, 

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. 

Kind Regards, 

Aimee Kelly 

Leader of Student Testing 

Dear parents and guardians,

I hope your son/daughter has settled back in to school well. There is a great energy in CPC and it is very much a case of so far so good!

I am writing to remind you of our expectations around uniform. All students must wear the correct CPC uniform at all times. This means the CPC jumper with crest, blue school shirt, CPC skirt or black trousers. The trousers are not leggings, jeans, tracksuit bottoms, shorts etc. Of course on warm days such as this week the jumper can be removed.

Footwear must be plain black - this means no white toe caps etc. (e.g. Converse)

The PE uniform can only be worn on the day your child has PE. If your child is in years 2-6 and is not wearing the school crested bottoms for any reason, then they must be wearing plain black tracksuit bottoms. Please ensure they do not come to school wearing any other colours.

It is very unpleaseant for us and you to have to phone you at home or at work about your child's non uniform. Please speak with your child about this.

Kind regards

J Leonard

Principal

Dear parents and guardians,

I hope that your son or daughter has settled in well to life in CPC. We have certainly been impressed with how well they are doing so far.

I wanted to remind you that the PE uniform should only be worn on the days when your child has PE. In addition I need to remind you that the PE uniform consists of the CPC 1/4 zip top, the CPC tracksuit bottoms and a pale blue polo shirt.

From Monday all 1st year students must wear the full PE uniform on their PE days including the pale blue polo shirt - these are not crested and can be purchased in multi packs at very reasonable costs in the likes of Dunnes Stores etc.

Your cooperation with this is much appreciated. Students without full uniform will be sanctioned in line with our code of behaviour.

Can I also take the opportunity to remind you that we will hold a short information meeting for 1st year parents/guardians on 19th September at 7pm as per the school calendar. Please ensure each child is represented at this meeting.

Kind regards

J Leonard

Principal

There are several ways to engage with the consultations, all of which are outlined in the links below.
