Message for 1st Year students & parents/guardians

We very much look forward to welcoming our new 1st Years tomorrow (8.30 - 11.30am) for what will be the start of a very exciting new chapter in their education. As restrictions are in place on the school campus, we would ask that the following entrance protocols be adhered to tomorrow morning. 1. We are asking that students, where possible and practical, walk to school or cycle to school. In the case that it is not possible and practical and parents are dropping students off by car, then a set down only facility will be in place inside the front gate. There will be no parking. Parents are asked not to get out of their vehicles. Parents should also be aware that there are strict visitor protocols in place with advance appointments required to enter the building. 2. Students should make their way to the Sports Hall and enter through the main door. Staff will be on hand to inform the students where to go. 3. Students will then sign in, pick up their journals and be escorted to their base rooms, in small pods, by a member of our 6th Year Leadership Team. 4. Students do not need to bring in any books or copies, however, students should bring in a pen to write in their new journals. 5. Students should bring a snack for break time and a small bag to bring food waste home. 6. Students should observe the hand hygiene protocols, sanitise and wear a face covering/mask. 7. Students should also bring a Ziploc bag to place their face covering/mask into when not in use. Once the students arrive in their base room they will be welcomed by their Year Team and the beginning of the induction programme will begin. All staff and students of Our Lady's wish our new 1st Years the very best for the year ahead! A message from your 6th Year councillors: youtu.be/-2yApMqW2Zk

3rd Years will be in action on Monday morning at 9.30. Ms Nyland and your form teachers are ready to welcome you in! A few little reminders for your first day back: There is a new temporary pedestrian entrance near the bus stop on Templeogue Road. You need to wear a face covering when you come in to school. Bring a sanitiser in a zip lock bag (there is sanitiser in every room in school but it's always good to have a personal supply!). Bring a snack & bottle of water for a break (no shared taps currently). Instructions: B3: come in the door by the 3rd Year lockers/Room 3 (downstairs kitchen) and go to Room 4 C3: come in the arch door and go to Room 5 L3: come in the Art corridor door and head for Room 16 P3: come in the bottom door of St Joseph's Hall and that is where you are staying! There will be signs to help you, don't worry! See you then. Message from your 6th Year councillors: youtu.be/ncnyQ5Maemc

Today marked a much anticipated occasion in OLS ... after a very long absence, we had a very welcome infusion of youth, energy and laughter in the form of our oldest and youngest students! First of all today, Ms Kinsella and Ms O' Sullivan welcomed the 6th Year leaders for leadership training, who in turn later welcomed the incoming 1st Years for a tour around the school. The 6th Years answered many questions about life in OLS and did their best to give our 1st Years a little flavour of what it's like here. Our students rose to the new Covid challenges superbly, arriving on time and as requested in terms of accessing the building, with masks and social distancing as directed. Well done to all! Staff will be busy planning over the coming days for the return of the full student body next week!

1st Year Tours

We have an eager troop of 6th Year leaders ready to meet the 1st Years at their designated slot tomorrow for a tour of the school and some Q & As about life at OLS. This will give our incoming students a chance to see how the building is set up for them to start school next week. 1st Years don't need to wear their uniform tomorrow as it is a short visit. Students must wear a mask. When you arrive, use the pedestrian entrance down by the bus stop on Templeogue Road (new entrance to facilitate building at usual entrance), walk up the path and you will be met there at the first building on your left (the Sports Hall) by friendly 6th Years who will tell you exactly what to do next! You will need to put your mask on before you enter the Sports Hall so have it ready in a zip lock bag in your pocket. Bring a pen to sign in and have a hand sanitiser (also supplied in school but best to have a personal supply too). Time slots: 12:00 - 12:30 Students with surnames beginning with A-B 12:20 - 12:50 Students with surnames beginning with C-E 12:40 -13:10 Students with surnames beginning with F-L 13:00 - 13:30 Students with surnames beginning with M-O 13:20 - 13:50 Students with surnames beginning with P-Z

We look forward to welcoming our 6th Year leadership team in tomorrow for training at 9am! Don't forget to wear your uniform (green jumpers at last!) so you're looking sharp for the 1st Years later on! When you arrive, use the pedestrian entrance down by the bus stop (new entrance to facilitate building at usual entrance), walk across to St Joseph's Hall. Bring your own sanitiser (also supplied in school but best to have a personal supply too), paper, pen, lunch and water (no taps remember!). Masks need to be on when you come in to sit down and Ms Kinsella will take it from there! See you then!
