Well done to all the students who partook in the RCSI MiniMed programme this week. It's great that so many girls were able to experience the field of medicine as all other work placements in that field have been closed for the year due to the pandemic. Well done to our ISL class who finished their last class on Tuesday. The girls will be continuing with their practicing of the language to achieve their Gaisce 'Personal Skill' credits.
Please see some notices for the week ahead.

Buddhists in Thailand, Cambodia, Lao, Burma and Sri Lanka, celebrate Makha Bucha Day on the 26th February. It commemorates a historical meeting between the Buddha and his first 1,250 disciples. Today, Buddhists visit their local temple, listen to Buddhist teachings, give alms to monks and recite Buddhist scriptures. The highlight of Makha Bucha is the candlelight procession in the evening when everyone is invited to decorate the temples in candlelight. Happy Makha Bucha Day from the Interfaith and Cultural Group.

Starting this evening and leading into tomorrow, Jewish communities around the world are celebrating Purim. Purim is the happiest day on the Jewish calendar and commemorates the survival of the Jews who, in the 5th Century, were marked for death by their Persian rulers. They were saved by the courage of a young Jewish woman called Esther. (Book of Esther)
Purim is celebrated among Jews by:
Exchanging gifts of food and drink known as mishloach manot
Donating charity to the poor - mattanot la-evyonim
Eating a celebratory meal known as se'udat Purim
Public recitation of the scroll of Ester.
Perhaps we could all take something from this special celebration and do something nice that brings joy to our lives.

Good morning!
I hope you all had a relaxing Midterm break. Well done to one and all for showing such resilience in your ability to adapt to online learning and the successes you have achieved. I hope you rewarded yourselves during the break by taking a few extra hours in bed, a few more movies with snacks and, of course, a chance to do activities that make you feel good about yourself.
Keep the Faith. Whether this is your Faith in God, belief that this too shall pass or faith that this is an opportunity for you to reevaluate your life, remember to keep strong and persevere.
During this, the second week of Lent, the Le Chéile Council, have begun a Book of Hope. Easter is a time of great celebration for the Christian community and we hope that this book can bring hope, comfort and courage to those who read it. Our sister school in Farnborough launched this idea and we thought it would be lovely to create a similar book in Our Lady's School, Dublin.
We are inviting one and all, present and past students, teachers and retired staff, grandparents, the Religious of Christian Education and anyone who would like, to contribute to our digital book. Please include anything that boosts your spirit. If you have a favourite book, poem, song, recipe, film review, knitting pattern, photo or anything you would like to include, please email it to chaplain@olschool.ie
Please find attached the first few pages of our book.
Good luck to all those doing assessments this week and the 6th Years returning to school on Monday.
God Bless,
C. Coyne
