Easter Holidays

As we all know, the past number of weeks have been very difficult and challenging. They have involved a complete switch in the way that teaching and learning takes place for all schools in the country and the students and teachers of Dominican College should be very proud of the manner that they have risen to and responded to that challenge. Happily, the Easter holidays begin tomorrow, Friday 3rd April. It is important that all students and staff use this as an opportunity to take a break and re-charge their batteries for the work to follow after Easter. All students should take a good break from school work with the exception of 3rd and 6th Year students who should also include some revision work as part of their break – but take a break nonetheless! Remember, the Leaving and Junior Cert are marathons, not sprints and if you are to perform to the best of your ability in the exams, you need to be entering into the final term rested and ready to go!
School Routine

A reminder to all our students of the importance of sticking to your school routine/timetable and setting aside the school hours during the day to do school work. It is also good to stick to the school hours so that you have a fixed time to finish up, relax, get some (socially distant) fresh air etc. It is important that everyone looks after themselves at this time! Teachers have been reporting some students missing scheduled online classes during the day. When you have online video classes scheduled you will be notified on Google Classroom and they will be during the time you would normally have that class. This means that you must be logged onto Google Classroom each morning. We have only one more week to the Easter holidays when you can take a break!

Well done to all our students who are following the HSE advice about social distancing. Remember, social distancing is important to help slow the spread of coronavirus. It does this by minimising contact between potentially infected individuals and healthy individuals. Social distancing is keeping a space of 2 metres (6.5 feet) between you and other people. Please keep yourself and those close to you safe.
