Minister for Education Norma Foley TD today announced that the Student Portal for the Leaving Certificate Calculated Grades will open for students next Monday, 20th July 2020 at 12 o’clock. Through this portal, all Leaving Certificate students will be able to confirm that they wish to receive their Calculated Grades results. The Minister also announced that the results of the Calculated Grades will issue to students on Monday, 7th September 2020. This date ensures that the results will work seamlessly with the CAO college entry system in Ireland and with UCAS, the college application process that operates in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. All students, whether they opted to receive the Calculated Grades or not, will have the option of taking the Leaving Certificate examination later in the year. Any student who is unhappy with a Calculated Grade in any subject can seek an appeal and also opt to take the written examination in that subject. Applications for appeals will open on 14th September. The State Examinations Commission stated that it hoped to be able to run the Leaving Certificate examinations during the month of November. Each Leaving Certificate student who has registered for Calculated Grades when the portal opened initially in May will receive a text message about the portal opening on Monday next.

Message re Racism

Here in Taylor's, we are given many opportunities to be proud of our girls and this week we were provided with one more. Acting on an email signed by many of our students, we had a wonderful meeting with a representative group of students who outlined what they feel the school can do to ensure we are fully supporting the fight against racism. We also discussed ways in which we can endeavour to continually ensure that racism has no place within the walls of Dominican College, and ways in which we can educate and inform all members of our school community in these matters. The Board of Management intends taking on board a number of the girls’ suggestions. The young women we met with were organised, eloquent, articulate and a credit to our school. We thank them for reminding us that we can never stop striving for our school to be the best it can be, supporting all our students equally. The Board of Management, in keeping with the school’s Christian and inclusive ethos, is proud to support the struggle to end all forms of racism and to stand with our students who seek this end.
