Students will leave on buses at 3.45 to arrive in Sandyford for a hours bounce from 4-5 with Pizza from 5-5.30. Students will be finished and ready for collection at Jumpzone at 5.30. 

The cost for each student is €25 and can be paid through the school app. If your daughter does not play hockey and is not attending please select the opt out button on the payment. All hockey players were called to the hall today to be told and were given the waiver to take home. 

Students have all been given a waiver form which must be filled out by a parent and a hard copy given to me in school. A scanned or onine copy cannot be accepted by Jumpzone as with large groups they must be all hard copies. Please see attached copy for any student who did not receieve one in school today.

With the recent cold spell of weather the school have decided that students may wear the school trousers or their PE gear until further notice. Students must wear the correct PE uniform, and may wear the green fleece over the school jumper. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Loreto College Foxrock’s Leadership Team is organising a fundraiser for a 9-year-old girl named Alice. She attends Carysfort National School in Dublin. Alice was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma in April 2022. Neuroblastoma is a rare, aggressive, and complex cancer of the central nervous system, mostly found in very young children. Unfortunately, it is also the most life-threatening form of cancer in children. Relapse is a huge concern even if the cancer goes into remission. Our school is trying to raise money for Alice to access life-saving cancer drugs to help her fight off the cancer.

To access the life-saving cancer drug, she must enter in a clinical trial at the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Centre in New York. This will involve trialling a vaccine that aims to trigger a response of the immune system against neuroblastoma. Cancer vaccines are another form of immunotherapy. They train the immune system to identify and destroy neuroblastoma cells lurking in the body after chemotherapy.

Loreto College Foxrock’s staff, 6th and 5th year class will take part in the ice bucket challenge on the 14th of December 2022 at 1:40 after school in honour of Alice.

Please help Alice access a life-saving cancer drug, by making a payment onto the app and donating the amount you want to give. Once we have collected all the donations, the school will donate the money to Alice’s Go Fund Me page under the school's name.

Thank you for your help and we hope you have a lovely Christmas time.

Kind regards,

The 6th Year Leadership Team
