Please find attached the TY updates and what's on next week. 

Please note that as the cold snap has thankfully passed, students are expected to wear their full school uniform to school each day (unless they have PE class, in which case they may wear their full school tracksuit). School jackets should be worn each day (other jackets are not permitted) and any student who wishes to do so may wear a base/extra layer under their shirt. A reminder that a school trouser is available for purchase from our uniform supplier should students prefer that option during the colder months. Uniform details here.

The next OLS Parents' Book Club will be held on Monday 20th of January at 7.30pm in the Two Sisters in Terenure. The chosen book is The Women by Kristin Hannah. Everyone is welcome!

Well done to Emma Clarke, Nicole Lin, Aoife O'Connor and Connie Harte from TY who were selected to showcase their projects at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition in the RDS this week. Aoife and Connie caught up with Micheál Martin to tell him all about their project called ‘Bridging the Colour Gap’ whereby they created a mobile colour detector app to aid people with red-green colour blindness. Well done to the four girls!

Past pupil, Orna Mulhern, Leadership Development Coordinator at American Chamber of Commerce Ireland, met 5th and 6th Years on Wednesday after school to facilitate an engaging workshop on leadership.

Please see attached the updated extra-curricular timetable for the new term. It is a new year and fresh start - students are welcome to join any activity available to their year group regardless of experience so we encourage all students to get involved in at least one extra-curricular pursuit! 

Please also see attached next week's menu!

HSE update:

As the cold weather continues, the HSE public health division has asked that we share the following important information with the school community: 

• Flu is circulating widely in the community, with children being significantly affected.
• Anyone who is unwell should remain at home to help prevent the spread of infection.
• Cough and sneeze etiquette, along with regular hand hygiene, are essential to limiting the spread of illness.
• The free nasal flu vaccine for children aged 2–17 is still available through local pharmacies and GPs as well as a walk in LAIV Flu Vaccination Clinic this Saturday 11th of January from 10am – 4pm in Clondalkin Primary Care Centre, D22 E771.
