Dear 3rd Year students & Parents / Guardians of 3rd years,

Please see attached letter regarding the planned trip to GoQuest on Wednesday, 22nd February.

Kind regards, Stephen Delahunty

Congratulations to Grace Jones and Ella Carey in TY who have won 1st and 2nd prizes respectively for their short story entries in the TY Inter-Loreto Creative Writing Competition. The prize was judged by the renowned Irish author Dave Rudden. 

The competition was open to all TY students in Loreto Foxrock, Loreto Stephen's Green, Loreto Navan and Loreto Beaufort. Students could submit a short story, a poem or a prose piece. 

Please make sure while completing your CAO form online, to indicate that you wish to make a DARE application. 

The section relevant for indicating your intention to make a DARE application comes after you have entered your personal details, paid your fee, filled in your school details and college course choices. Please save your CAO number for future reference.

There are a number of headings below the Course Choices, they are: Correspondence, Qualifications and Assessment Section, Exemptions from Minimum Entry Requirements, Mature Section, Disability and HEAR. You are looking for Disability. Press the button named: 'Modify Disability (& DARE Application) Status'.

You will be brought to the next page where you need to pick the 'Yes' option when it asks whether you wish to disclose your disability. (This includes dyslexia, significant ongoing illness, literacy difficulties etc).

Then press the 'Update Selecton' button. This will mean that the CAO will invite you to provide further information via the SIF (Supplementary Information Form). Mr Fallon and I will help you fill in this part when we are back in school. You are finished with the application for the moment at this point.

Just a little reminder that today Friday 16th December is the last Evening Study before Christmas. Study will recommence on Thursday 5th January as normal. Wishing everyone a well deserved rest over the christmas break and we look forward to seeing you all again on 5th January 2023.

This is a reminder to all 5th Yr students to bring in their favorite book or a book that they would recommend to others for Book Speed Dating tomorrow, Friday 10th February.  Remember that all things book related in LCF can be found on Twitter @WellReadFoxrock.

We would like to wish safe travels to Mr. Garland, Mr. Kehoe, Ms. Malone, Ms. Behan and all of the 5th and 6th years travelling to Munich this weekend. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations to Ciara Redden and Laura McMenamin (TY) who today won a place in the finals of the Inter-Loreto Debates in March 2023. 

Congratulations also to Mya Madigan (5th Year) and Grace Jones (TY) who only narrowly missed out on qualification in a very tightly contested day's debating. 

Good luck to our Senior Debaters who are competing online today in the Inter-Loreto Debating Competition. The 5 speakers involved are: Ciara Redden, Laura McMenamin, Grace Jones, Ella Carey (TY) and Mya Madigan (5th Year). Twenty teams from Loreto schools around the country are participating, with 8 teams making it to Finals Day in 2023.
