Well done to all the sixth years who entered our Amber flag photo competition. We had a huge number of entries, and there were lots of great photos that brought a smile to our faces. We couldn't decide on a single winner so congratulations to our joint winners Leonie Redmond and Ali Herbert. Over the weeks, we have had lots of fantastic entries so we have attached a small selection here that we hope will brighten up your day. We have another selection on our Amber flag notice board beside the garden.

Pick up a Book Bingo sheet from the library or print the one attached. The aim is to read as many different types of books that you can, but also to complete them in lines (vertically, diagonally, or horizontally). If you complete at least one line or more you will receive a certificate at the end of the year. For more information look on the library website. Good Luck!

Work Experience - calling all parents/guardians/contacts!

Our TY students are due to have their 2nd Work Experience week from the 8th to 12th of February 2021. Our hopes are that all students will be able to go out to Work Experience placements and gain valuable insights in to the world of work and future career options but opportunities may be curtailed pending the Covid restrictions at the time. In light of this we are planning some in-school alternatives for the students whose plans may not be possible. We are looking for some volunteers who would be willing to give a talk to the students giving an insight in to their day to day work life, their work/life balance, what courses/training/experiences they completed to get to where they are now, etc. We would like to give the girls a broad perspective of working life so we are looking for a diverse range of fields that will reflect different interests and avenues. The talk might be followed by some Q&A time to allow the students to engage fully with the experience. If you are willing to volunteer for a talk with the students please email workexperience@olschool.ie with a date and time that might suit during the above week. Many thanks in advance for your assistance with this.

Active School Flag Update

The TY ASF class ran a successful Walkway Week on the week of the 30th of November to the 4th of December. This event encouraged everyone to get fresh air and keep active during their lunch and break times at school and inspired a competitive house atmosphere between the different houses. The girls in the ASF class created a theme of Stepping into Christmas for the week and celebrated this by playing Christmas music around the walkway to encourage people to get out and get walking. They also prepared a Christmas music video (below) that was shown to the pastoral care classes to promote the walkway as a fun and enjoyable way to keep active. During this week, 3,008 laps were walked by the all students and teachers, with the M house winning with a total of 1068 laps. We had a great response from all teachers and students!
