Dear 6th yr students, Parents/Guardians,
TAKE ACTION ON CAO BEFORE JULY 1ST.
As the Leaving Certificate examinations draw to a close; it is very important that you sit down with your 6th year student and look again at their CAO course choices.
Has your student filled in their courses? It is important to check - sometimes students have opened their accounts back before February but have not added in any course choices!.
Make sure that all 20 options have been filled in - 10 at Level 8 and a further 10 at level 6&/or7. These should be over a range of points - giving the most options to the students.
Having sat the exams, students may wish to reassess their choices - it is really important to guide them through this process and to discuss with them reasons for changes and for choices.
The CAO remains open until July 1st so before then, please go through the choices and make sure the course choices are in order of preference, i.e. that the course they really want is in place number one - not necessarily the highest points course - but THE COURSE THEY REALLY WANT TO DO - that your student is likely to meet the minimum entry requirements for the courses on the lists and that all courses have been thoroughly researched ......so that if they were offered any one of these they would likely accept an offer.
Thank you for your cooperation in this very important stage of the CAO process.
Kind regards,
Guidance Team

Dear Parent, Guardian and Students,
I would like to wish the best of luck to all our JC, LC and LCA students with their exams taking place over the next few weeks.
It will be natural to feel anxious or nervous tonight, before your first exam, but these nerves tend to calm down significantly once the exams are under way. It's important to remember that you have put in the work to get you to this stage and that these exams are an opportunity to showcase what you have learnt. Be confident and positive about them.
Try get a good night's sleep tonight and please be on plenty of time for all your exams.
Best wishes,
Mr. Martin
