Dear Students & Parents, Due to the school closure, online learning will begin from Monday 11th January. Please be sure to read the school’s Online Learning Plan attached to this message and also on our school website to understand the format of the remote learning and what is expected of students, teachers, and parents. Lessons will follow the online learning timetable rather than the normal school timetable. All students were given a copy of this earlier this year in anticipation of a lockdown. A copy of it is also attached to this message. All students MUST follow this timetable and engage in the online classes or work specified by teachers on Google Classroom at this time. It is essential that students engage fully with their online learning and parents should be aware that students must follow the online timetable each school day.

The girls in class 3/1 organized a food collection throughout the school and donated all the food to a very grateful Food Cloud for distribution to worthy charities in the Galway area. Then, conscious that the elderly Dominican and Mercy sisters on Taylor's Hill are unable to have visitors or move about freely, the girls wrote letters to each of the sisters, a gesture which was very much appreciated by them.
