A final reminder to all students to have their sponsorship money in tomorrow! We’re looking forward to the Sponsored Colour Run! Money can brought in cash or paid by card/on EasyPayments. Parents, if there is a medical reason your daughter should not participate on Wednesday, please let her Year Head know so alternative plans can be put in place.

Many thanks!

A reminder to TY students & parents/guardians that subject choices are to be submitted via VSware by tomorrow, 15th March. The recording of the presentation and the slides from the information session last Thursday are below:

Recording of presentation

Students have heard presentations from teachers of all the subjects at Leaving Cert. level and also had a great opportunity to talk to 5th and 6th Year students to ask any outstanding questions they had. They can access the Subject Choice booklet via the school website and have access to subject tasters in all subjects during Transition Year. All students will have a one-to-one appointment with the Guidance Dept. before the deadline and are encouraged to research their choices carefully and to ask as many questions as they wish to help them make their choices!

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

As part of our guidance programme for Transition and 5th Year students, the Guidance Department and the Parents’ Council are planning on holding a Careers Expo on Wednesday 26th April 2023 from 6.30-9pm. 

The purpose of this event is to allow our students the opportunity to meet and talk to people from a number of different professions in order to assist them with their career research. We are asking for the assistance of parents to help facilitate this event. Participation in this event would involve discussing your career with a number of individual students during the evening. Further details will be provided to parents who volunteer to take part.

If you are interested in being involved in our careers evening on 26th April 2023  or in being included in a database for possible future career events in Our Lady’s School, please reply, by email, to <24>parentscouncil@olschool.ie providing your name, telephone number, email address and career area.

Many thanks for your support and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

A big 'maith sibh' to the TY Irish classes who showcased fashion through the decades with commentary 'as Gaeilge' on Friday!

All classes included accessories and design elements made from paper. A great show for  Seachtain na Gaeilge!

Students can wear their tracksuits all week for an active, enjoyable timetable of wellbeing activities (see below).

We are particularly looking forward to our Open Mic Night on Tuesday and our Sponsored Colour Run on Wednesday (funds going towards the Sports Dome - looking forward to a huge community effort to get this facility kitted out for use in September!!).

House T-Shirts to be worn Monday and Tuesday.

Colour Run info attached. Sponsorship money can be handed in at the House desk at Reception tomorrow and Tuesday at lunchtime.
