Foxrock Games - Date Change
Created : 17 May 2022, 8:35 PM
Archived : 17 Jul 2022, 12:00 AM
Dear Parents / Guardians,
We have made the decision to change the day of this weeks Foxrock Games from Friday 20th of May to Thursday 19th of May due to the bad weather that is forecast, We are doing this so the whole school community can enjoy the day to its fullest. As this is a whole school event we expect all students to attend and a role will be taken at the start of the day in tutor time.
Students have been given their teams and their fancy dress theme. We would ask that they put every effort they can into being part of their team and to remember that the games and activities are only 2 hours in total over the course of the day so there is plenty of time for them outside of the activities to be with their friend groups.
The day will begin at 8.50 and students will be free to leave school from 3pm. There will be NO TRAFFIC access to the school grounds for the whole day. The school gates will be closed and only the pedestrian gates will be open. We recommend students be dropped and collected at Foxrock Church.
Students will wear their costumes to school and we would advise they bring the following items: suitable footwear, a change of clothes, a towel and money for the food trucks. There will be food trucks on site all day serving a variety of foods and all students will get the chance to visit them throughout the day.
We are looking forward to a day of live music, dodgeball games, inflatable obstacle courses, water slides and lots more. There may even be one or two teachers team entered. One not to be missed!
If you have any queries or if your daughter has any concerns please contact me on jbrock@loretofoxrock.ie.
Yours in fun and Foxrock Games,
Joanne Brock

2nd Year CP Adventure

This is a reminder about the 2nd year trip to CP Adventure tomorrow. There will be a roll call at tutor time and we will be leaving straight after that at 9.00am. We will be leaving the adventure centre at 4pm. It is a 40-minute drive to Foxrock, so depending on traffic we should be back at the school around 4.40-5.00pm.
The weather has been very mixed the last couple of days, so students should make sure to bring sun cream for the sun, and rain gear and a change of clothes for the rain.
As a reminder here is the complete checklist that CP Adventure gave us:
Hand sanitizer.
Sun Cream.
All participants must have their feet covered. Sandals/flip flops are not appropriate footwear.
Runners are the best form of footwear for the adventure centre. Please don’t bring your brand new pair, as they may get wet and mucky! If you can bring a spare pair to change into after, that would be great.
We recommend that you bring warm clothes or layers of clothes (fleece) for activities. You should also bring a change of clothes. A hat and gloves is strongly advised for cold weather.
We strongly recommend that you bring a rain jacket, rain bottoms if you can, as the weather can change very quickly!
Swimwear is not required, but please bring change of clothes and footwear.
Please bring a towel for after the water activities.
You may have wet clothes, so bring a plastic bag to put them in.
Mobile Phones/Electronic Equipment, such as ipods, iphones, etc. are not be brought to the centre. We ask that all students leave them at home. We will take equipment from students before activities begin.
Looking forward to a great day, whatever the weather!
