A reminder to parents/guardians that over the next two weeks mock and house exams are running in the school at different times for different year groups. Please note the following:
If your daughter has a morning exam, she must be in her exam centre for 8.25am for morning registration. If she does not have a morning exam and is studying at home, with your permission, she must be in her exam centre at 12.50pm for afternoon registration.
If your daughter does not have an exam and is not staying in school for optional supervised study, she may study at home with your permission.
If your daughter has class rather than exams during the two weeks, on those days the school day starts at 8.30am, lunch is at 12pm and school finishes at 3pm. Otherwise, times are as per exam timetables published last week.
The canteen is operational for the duration of the two weeks and is located in Room 3 rather than Lourdes Hall.
Many thanks.

We at OLS are delighted to announce that one of our very own students, Charlotte Gallaher, has been named as one of the 20 finalists in the 2020 Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards. This a prestigious, nationwide award that recognises students who have made a positive difference and contribution to society and to their community. Among the prominemt personalities who have participated in the programme are Bertie Ahern, John Hume, Catriona Ruane, Mickey Harte, Declan Kidney, John Lonergan, Martin O' Neill, Brent Pope, Niall Breslin (Bressie), Joanne O' Riordan and Richie Sadler.
Over the years, Charlotte Gallaher has volunteered with various cancer charities and works selflessly to help others through this cause. Only a 1st Yar pupil, our B1 Charlotte is most certainly an inspiration to us all and a worthy candidate. 500 euro will be presented to her chosen charity and she will receive an engraved silver medal. Charlotte will also be attending an awards ceremony in March in the Titanic Belfast Building.
Congratulations Charlotte! We are so lucky to have such an outstanding young person at our school.
