We hope you all had a good break over the past two weeks. As you know, schoolwork begins again tomorrow (Monday). As it looks as though we will continue to use Google Classroom and online learning for the next number of weeks, we want to get some student feedback about your experience of it during the three weeks before the Easter break. With that in mind, we are asking all students to complete a very brief online survey to give us some information which will hopefully make using online learning over the coming weeks a little easier. We are also asking teachers for their feedback about what they think can be improved. The student survey can be accessed by clicking on the following link: forms.gle/UyLhmwLffUtkFbXD8 Please complete this survey today!!

Schools have been asked by the Department of Education & Skills to remind all students of the absolute need to practice social and physical distancing, and to minimise physical contact with each other, to help avoid the spread of Covid-19. This means that students should avoid meeting up and in all circumstances to adhere to HSE guidelines. The Department also urges parents and guardians to support their children to maintain the restrictions on congregating for the safety of all in their community.
