It is very important that your daughter's school attendance records are accurate and for this reason we ask parents/guardians to please note the following: There are 3 different forms on the app that you can use so please choose the correct option for each situation: All FULL DAY absences should be notified via the Absentee Form. Please be accurate with dates for the days FULLY ABSENT. (If this changes during the course of the absence if, for example, the student returns to school earlier/later than originally thought, just submit another form with the updated info. and we will amend. her record.) All LATES should be notified via the Late Note form. Here, please be as accurate as possible with the expected arrival time. You will get a notification when your daughter signs in at Reception. If for any reason your daughter needs to LEAVE EARLY, please submit the Permission to Leave Form and be as accurate as possible with the expected departure time. You will get a notification when your daughter signs out at Reception. Please submit these requests to leave early before 8.30am so the office can process your daughter's sign out as efficiently as possible. Please also note that your daughter must go to Reception during the day if she needs to contact home - she is not permitted to use her mobile phone for communication during the school day, as explained in the Code of Positive Behaviour. Many thanks for your ongoing cooperation with our evolving digital systems - it is very much appreciated!

Well done to our 150 First years who created a Tree of Hope for the OLS community. Each student personalised a sycamore leaf with hopeful and positive messages. Thank you to our proactive TY students who then constructed the tree in the GPA. A great effort by all!
2nd Years leading the way!

Just before midterm, the 2nd Years took some time out to write to the residents of a selection of nursing homes that were either local or personal to them. Over 100 letters were posted! We have been receiving some replies from those who were so touched they took took the time to reach out in return. A nurse from Marymount Hospice in Cork emailed to say, 'Our residents received beautiful, thoughtful letters from the class of B2. I would like to thank them, the residents got great joy from such thoughtfulness. It really gave them a lift all comparing the different letters at this time.' A staff member of Elm Hall Nursing Home in Celbridge wrote a letter with a poem (see attached) to express their gratitude. Sally Park Nursing Home sent us pics of the letters reaching their audience! Well done to the 2nd Years and their team of teachers for being such a great example of how a kind gesture can reach so far and give a lift where it is needed!
