The school has been asked to forward the message delivered by President Higgins on the importance of social distancing to the parents of students in the school.

Students are reminded that they can play their part in the national effort to curb the spread and the worse effects of the Covid-19 virus. Schools are closed to students at present to prevent the spread of this highly contagious and potentially lethal virus. By avoiding assembling and
socialising in groups, students will be playing their part in supporting the national health campaign.
Thank you to students and parents for their engagement with this process in the face of the challenges that it can entail and would encourage all in our school community to do everything you can to maintain the learning and social and pastoral connection between the student and the school.

I hope all parents and students are adjusting to the new daily schedules we are experiencing. We are still in the process of rolling out various e-learning platforms so I would ask for patience as both staff and students are experience some teething problems. Junior and Leaving Certificate parents and students have been contacted regarding cancellation of oral and practical performance tests and should now be focusing on their written exams. Students might be interested in a short story competition for 6-18 year olds organised by John Boyne, details at johnboyne.com/short-story-competition/
There is also a colouring book attached which students might be interested in using for themselves or with younger siblings. I would urge all student to continue to follow all hygiene protocols and practise social distancing especially when out and about - the current guidelines are to save lives. I appreciate that current arrangements are placing particular strains on us all but hopefully we will see improvement in the near future.
The school will be open on Wednesday 25th March 10.00am - 1.00pm to facilitate students collecting materials etc.

The minister of Education & Skills has today announced the cancellation of oral and practical performance tests for Leaving and Junior Certificate examinations that were scheduled to commence on Monday 23rd March and conclude on Friday 3rd April. Importantly, all students scheduled to take these components will receive full marks for them. Further details can be seen in www.education.ie
The minister announced that the intention is to proceed with the written component of the examinations. Students should focus their efforts on practising exam questions and following revision plans and work schedules as set by teachers.
While not ideal, today's decision gives an amount of certainty and eliminates anxiety about if, when and how the orals and practicals would proceed. Should there be any further updates, you will be informed.

Dear parents/guardians
I hope you and your families are keeping well at this time of uncertainty and that your daughters are settling into a routine of work, relaxation, exercise and time with family. All students should now be using their on line account to access work from teachers via email, teams or OneNote. If they are experiencing any difficulties please email concern to admin@holyfaithclontarf.com
A large number of students availed of the opportunity to come to the school to collect books etc on Friday last and the school will again facilitate students on Friday 20th March 10.00pm – 1.00pm. Should the school not reopen on Monday 30th March, I will be in further contact with parents and have indicated to teachers that further work should be set.
I am particularly aware of the anxiety being felt by the examination year groups, especially the 6th years. Be assured that the DES and SEC will be working to set in place contingency plans that will have as a priority their concerns and wellbeing. When I receive any update in this regard, I will contact you immediately.
With every good wish
