Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

As you know last year, the leadership team had organised an ice bucket challenge to raise money for a girl named Alice who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Due to the icy weather last year, we were unable to go ahead with the challenge, but now that the winter has passed the leadership team are ready to take on the challenge again. Only this time we have switched up the rules.

We have challenged 7 teachers to do the ice bucket challenge, 6 of which are going to be named and 1 will remain a secret. The 6 named teachers have only agreed to being ice bucketed IF we reached a targeted amount. These are the amounts the teachers have agreed to:

Ms. Norton - €500

Ms. Byrne - €1,000

Ms. Slattery - €1,500

Mr. Coyle - €2,000

Mr. Finn - €2,500

Mr. Murphy - €3,000

The 7th teacher who will remain unnamed will only be disclosed and ice bucketed when we have reached €3,500.

This will take place on the 15th of March at 1:00, so make sure you donate before the buckets arrive. 

We are aware that many of you have already donated so this is a last call for donations to ensure ALL 7 teachers get soaked- everything received by next Wednesday will be paid over by the school to the Save Alice campaign.

The school has now sold its full allocation for the TY musical so the option to buy tickets has now been removed from the school app.

We are due to get a small number of tickets (approx. 40-50) from CBC on Monday - these will be available to purchase from 9am on Monday by phoning the school office. 

These will be sold on a first come first served basis, once your name has been taken a specific option for you to purchase the tickets will be added to your school shopping cart.

Any TY students and 3rd years who purchased Friday tickets who are in school today have been given their tickets to bring home.

The option to purchase tickets for Friday night 31st March has now been removed from the shop section.

All other nights still available.

Musical tickets are selling out fast for Friday 31st March, remaining available tickets are as follows:

Friday 31st - 50 tickets

Thursday 30th - 100 tickets

Wednesday 29th - 90 tickets

Tuesday 28th - 115 tickets

Reminder that all year groups will be able to purchase tickets from this Friday morning. Once any night is sold out the option to purchase tickets for that night will disappear from the school app. 

Dear Parents/ Guardians, 

I am aware that there is an issue opening the link(posted yesterday) to apply for the next term of Evening Study. Please accept my sincere apologies.

I have emailed the working link to all parents/ guardians of students in 3rd, 5th and 6th year. Evening Study is available to all 3rd, 5th and 6th year students.
