Absolute silence and worklike atmosphere will be expected and maintained at all times. Any student not adhering to the guidelines will be excluded from Study Hall.

Congratulations to all of the badminton players in the school who have been playing matches over the past few months. Most of the 1st year students had never played before this year! Last Friday, 4th March they played in the Dublin Finals in Terenure and the 1st year team were runners up (Eleanor Kenny, Amelie Silvestre, Kate Higgins and Robyn Costello.) and the 3rd year team won their U16 final (Heather Rothwell, Aoife Ryan, Anna Kellett and Lucy McGowan) A huge congratulations to both teams. On Thursday 10th March, the 1st year team played really tough opposition in round robin format in the Leinster Finals and came 3rd (Eleanor Kenny, Amelie Silvestre, Kate Higgins and Evelyn Mendes Healy..) Well done everyone! Best of luck to our two teams taking part in the U16 Leinster Finals next Tuesday.

Invitation to participate in nationwide survey

The Ombudsman for Children’s Office has invited pupils from the school to take part in a nationwide survey of 60 schools on the views and experiences of children during the Covid-19 pandemic. This online survey will take place during school time next week. It will feature 15 multiple choice questions and take around 10 minutes to complete. Examples of the types of questions we will ask, include: • Overall, do you think that Covid-19 has changed your life a lot/ a little/ not very much/ not at all? • Since the Covid-19 pandemic began, how many days per week do you do sports or exercise (either inside/outside of school)? Students and their parents can then decide individually whether they would like to participate, with a full information pack as well as consent and assent forms provided by us. All answers will be anonymous and no personal student information will be shared or made public. The aim of the survey is to gain a better understanding of, and insight into, children’s views and experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic. A report on the findings will be published and shared it with all the schools that have taken part before it is made public. Further information is available at www.oco.ie/i-am-a-young-person/covid-survey/ The online consent form can be found here: kwiksurveys.com/s/STsMZhkB We hope that as many students in the school as possible will take part in the survey and that the report will start an important conversation about the impact of the pandemic on children and young people.
