A message from our Chaplain as Holy Week begins...

I don’t know if any of you are feeling it too, but as we approach Holy Week I am feeling a little unprepared. I really missed attending church services during Lent when I would usually reflect with my community on the Easter message. I am feeling a little soul-weary after months of winter, darkness and a lack of social interaction.
But perhaps this isn’t such a bad way to enter Holy Week – tired and unprepared, hungry for a new beginning, eager for the light to shine in the darkness. Even if, like me, you feel you haven’t quite lived into the penitential season of Lent, it’s not too late to begin walking toward resurrection morning.
In the link below there is a prayer for each day of Holy Week. You are invited to take a moment each day to reflect on a thought for the day and the hope of the Resurrection to come.
I wish you all a very happy and safe Easter. I look forward to the whole school community returning after the holidays.

Well done to all our winners from our Hike competitions last Thursday & Friday, there is one group who still needs to collect their prizes so a reminder to all to check your submissions. Well done to all the students on completing their Irish Orals this week and to those of you who got your first aid qualifications also.
Please see some notices for the week ahead.
1. The examinations timetable is posted on the google classroom. Please remind your daughter to check this. Normal classes will be running next week.
2.. The initiative credits google form has also been posted on the google classroom. This will be closing Monday 17th of May at 4pm. NO EXCEPTIONS! Please remind your daughter to have this submitted as soon as possible.
3. Our TY Graduation video has started recording this week.. The students look forward to sharing their event with their friends and family via pre-recorded video on the 27th of May. Students will be watching the video together in school on that day. There will be some re shoots happening next week so please remind your daughter to check the google classroom regularly.
4. Well done also to all who participated in their sponsored walks this week, a reminder that the money for the sponsored walk will be collected during PasCare. Please have your card and your money in a ziplock bag in order to follow the COVID guidelines.
5. Please see a notice below from IT Carlow.
The Creative Hub team at IT Carlow will be running a free online summer school for TY and senior cycle students in late June.
This is an innovative project that young people can really get their teeth into. It's gives learners a taste of 3rd level in a fun and original week-long programme. It has been built to enhance progression to 3rd level and encourage digital entrepreneurship and a re-engagement with learning.
We would be very grateful if you could please distribute the attached e-leaflet to prospective learners. The QR code on the e-leaflet brings everyone to our web page and application. (Leaflet is posted on the google classroom)
