Dear Parent/Guardian/Student,

We will welcome our new Acting Principal, Ms. Dayna Byrne to our school after the Easter break.  The Acting Deputy Principal position to take effect from after Easter is yet to be advertised and filled and you will be notified in due course.

In the interim from 20th February to Easter, we thank Ms. Cullinan who has been asked by the Board of Management to act up to the position of Acting Principal.  She will be without a Deputy Principal for the 6 week period but will have the assistance of Ms. Fiona McNamee in an administrative role, for which we are very appreciative.

Wishing all students, staff and families a very happy and restful mid-term break.  It has been a busy time, particularly for our examination students who have just completed their mock exams. Well done to all.

Slán go fóill and go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir as do thacaíocht thar na blianta.

Mise le meas,

Michelle McDermott

Dear Parent(s) / Guardian(s)

Foróige have approached the school about running a 6 week Drug and Alcohol Education and Prevention Project aimed at current 1st and 2nd year students.  

This is essentially a personal development programme that focuses on facilitating activities to educate young people on smoking, alcohol and drugs whilst also focusing on increasing young people's communication and decision-making skills. It aims to give young people factual information in order to dispel myths surrounding drugs & alcohol and to challenge their attitudes and opinions with regards to substance use. The programme is facilitated in a fun and interactive manner for students with lots of group activities, discussions, quizzes etc. Further information on the programme can be viewed in the attached document. 

The programme is free of charge and would run for one hour after school beginning on Wednesday 22nd February.  Therefore parents would need to be available to collect their child from school at 5pm. 

If you would like your child to attend please complete the interest form at the link below before Tuesday 7th February.  If there is enough interest, parental consent forms will be sent out for completion.
