In line with the Government's decision to extend the school Christmas holiday period, Loreto College Foxrock will now reopen on Monday January 11th. We will notify parents and guardians if there is a change to this date. We would ask all our students to please stay safe and follow the Government Guidelines and we look forward to welcoming our students and staff back to school in 2021. Wishing all of our school community a healthy and Happy New Year.
A Christmas Thank You.

To all in the Loreto College Foxrock Community
I wish to thank all of our staff, students and families for the ongoing support of the school through this very challenging year. We have managed thus far, and school is continuing because of the dedication and commitment of all.
I especially want to thank our 6th year students who brightened our last day of term with an online talent show, our student council who motivated us throughout the month of December with great fun, Covid- safe ideas, our ember team who co-ordinated the VDP hampers for the whole school and our TY students who collected valuable items for four very deserving charities. The Christmas spirit was alive in Loreto College Foxrock. We enjoyed a virtual carol service and reached out to those in the community who need support for this very difficult Christmas.
All our students and staff are in need of a rest over the Christmas break. The school environment is quite intense and unlike school as we knew it a year ago. Our exam students need to come back in January energised from the holiday.
I wish you all a safe and a happy Christmas and we look forward to a better 2021.
Our President, Michael D Higgins shared one of his poems as a Christmas greeting. It touches on the unique time we are in:
'Take Care'
In the journey to the light, the dark moments should not threaten.
Belief requires that you hold steady.
Bend, if you will, with the wind.
The tree is your teacher, roots at once more firm from experience in the soil made fragile,
Your gentle dew will come and a stirring of power to go on towards the space of sharing.
But to weaken is to die in the misery of knowing the journey abandoned towards the sharing of all human hopes and cries
Is the loss of all we know of the divine reclaimed for our shared humanity.
Hold firm.
Take Care.
Come Home Together.
