Dear parent/guardian, We have extended the period to enable you to sign/give consent all the school policies. Thank you again to all our parents/guardians that have completed this process. Please take the time to get this item off your "to do list". Please see our previous message below. Unfortunately from Monday 16th November 2020, students that have not consented to all the policies will be contacted to stay at home until the outstanding policies are signed. We hope this finds you all well at this time. We would like to thank all our students for their cooperation with the many new protocols associated with Covid 19. Normally a little before this point in the school year you would have discussed and signed the school policies with your student(s). This year we are using the App for this process. The policies can be found in the "Consent Forms section" on the App. This is within the menu on the left hand side of the App home screen. Please read the policies with your student. Instead of your student signing the policies please tick the "Yes" box to indicate that they accept the policies. Please then sign the "Consent Form" to indicate that you accept the school policies. Please have all policies signed for Monday next 28th September. There are six policies in total. Please see video in the link below which will bring you through filling out forms etc. vimeo.com/361776828/05c14cc54e Many thanks!

Dear Parents/Guardians, As we approach Christmas and the end of the first term, I want to thank the students for their cooperation in following the Covid guidelines. Wearing face masks in class is difficult and I know the weather has been cold and wintery these last few weeks so it is not pleasant to go outside at break times. However, we must continue these practices. Break time is an opportunity to take off the masks and get some fresh air. Thankfully we have had no Covid cases in the school because of the students’ cooperation. Hopefully the Covid situation will improve in the New Year. I would like take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. Kind regards Padraig Nolan

Christmas Jumper Day

Dear Parent/Guardian, We are having our annual Christmas Jumper Day on Monday 21st December. It would be great if you could encourage your student(s) to participate in this event. We do not want to add expense to families at this time, we find that the best jumpers are those created at home. We are using this event to generate funds the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust aims to alleviate the financial hardship of bereaved families as they go through the process of bringing home a loved one, who has died abroad in sudden or tragic circumstances. Since 2013 this charity has assisted over 1,000 families who have found themselves in this situation. Earlier this year Aisling Earley (past pupil and sister of Eibhlin TY) died tragically in Thailand as a result of a drowning accident. We feel that this event would be a fitting tribute to Aisling and a supportive gesture to the Earley family at this time. Your support and encouragement to the students would be greatly appreciated. We are asking for a €2 donation from students, €5 per family to their tutors on the morning of the 21st Dec. Family may donate using our School App. Unfortunately, when using the App a minimum donation €5 is required. We would like thank you in advance. Wishing you all a restful and Happy Christmas, Pat Breslin.
