Maynooth University - Engineering Maths Exam

Dear Sixth Year Students, Please see below re Maths Exam for Engineering in Maynooth and register if interested.
Regards. Ms. McGee
The Department of Electronic Engineering at Maynooth University ([]www.maynooth university.ie/electronic-engineering) will hold an Engineering Mathematics Examination for students who wish to apply and undertake a degree in Engineering (MH304) but who do not have the required H4 in Leaving Certificate Mathematics.
Students wishing to apply for Engineering (MH304) at Maynooth University can apply using the Available Place procedure via the CAO (www.cao.ie), and register for the Maths Entrance Exam.
The examination will take place online on Wednesday 16 September 2020 and those wishing to take the examination must register by 5pm Friday 11 September.
The Engineering Maths Exam is based on the Leaving Certificate Higher Level syllabus (Paper one). A free online preparatory course will take place on Tuesday 15 September.
Students who have obtained a H4 in Mathematics and fulfil the other requirements can also make an Available Place application and do not need to take the examination in mathematics.
To register for the exam and for further information on MH304 academic requirements and sample papers please see www.maynoothuniversity.ie/mathsexam
'Like any 6th year student heading to college I had no idea what I wanted to study. All I knew for certain was that I liked maths and I enjoyed solving problems. Therefore, I put engineering and computer science down on my CAO. As it turned out my worst nightmare came true, I let myself down in my Leaving Cert. I was made aware after my results about an exam Maynooth University offered to study Electronic Engineering. It was my saving grace as rather than repeating my Leaving Cert, I had this second chance to keep progressing. Needless to say I aced it, I am now on my way to graduating with a ME in Electronic Engineering in 2021! My experience of the engineering department in Maynooth University has been extremely positive. Due to the smaller classes you build an invaluable relationship with your department and peers. This course has been challenging me from day one, encouraging me to think outside the box and to not shy away from the problems that seem un-solvable.' Jessica Cullen MU Engineering student (Year 4)

Scoil Mhuire - Cashless Payments

Scoil Mhuire - Cashless Payments
Practically everything is paid for electronically these days, whether it be via your credit/debit card or smartphone. During many of our in-school meetings with yourselves throughout the last school year we indicated that sometime in the future we would be moving to cashless payments in our school. The primary reason for this was the health and safety of our school community, primarily our staff and students. The security risk associated with keeping cash on-site and taking it to the bank was becoming a greater challenge by the day. This development has been intensified by the onset of Covid 19 and all associated with it, especially the advice to reduce the handling of cash.
We are introducing “Unique Pay” as our medium for all cashless payments in our school. This is an additional feature of our school App. This solution has many benefits, namely reduced administration, ease of managing student data, immediate issuing of receipts, enabling payment 24/7 and improving security for everyone.
Please take time to read the attached documents to help inform yourself of the benefits, workings and practicalities of this facility.
We are rolling out this new facility later today for the payment of our school fees for the school year 20/21. Please do not hesitate to contact us where you may be experiencing difficulty with these payments.
Please note; We will also be using the App to enable you to sign the various school policies etc. - more details in due course.
