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.

Our TY Classes are working hard on creating a Christmas Tree for their chosen class charity. Once the tree is completed each student will bring in a gift to place under the tree which will be donated to the charity before Christmas.

The below is a list of items that are needed. Tree 1 - Saoirse Womens Refugee, Tallaght. The items they need most are new Womens and children's Pyjamas, Underwear, Socks, Dressing gowns, Vouchers for Smyths or One for all. Tree 2 - St Josephs Dementia Centre Shankill. Fluffy Socks, Nightdresses, Male Pyjamas, Nice Candles, Hand Creams, Essential oils, Shaving kits for men. Tree 3 - Fr Peter Mc Verry Warm New Clothing, Toiletries, Toys, Books, Selection Boxes, Tins of Biscuits, blankets. Tree 4 - Bernardos Loughlinstown Vouchers for Teenagers, Lifestyle sports, Boots, Claires, Smyths.

6th Yr Parents - PA

Hello from the Parents Association. Carol Dillon and Enda O’Connor are the 6th Yr PA reps in what is the girls final year in Loreto! We hope that all the girls have settled in well and are accustomed to their new way of school life. In any normal year we would by now have organised a social gathering of some sort. But as we know this is far from a normal year. In an effort to keep the parent/guardian group in touch with each other we would like to invite you to join in our School App Chat Group. The School App has been greatly enhanced this year with the objective of becoming a One Stop Shop for all school information. The PA hope to use it to replace the traditional email based lists. It has the facility for specific groups of Parents/Guardians e.g. by year/class/team etc to communicate . As 6th year progresses it will be a useful tool for the PA to reach out to you and for any parent to ask a quick question or clarify something. As our year is not very large we intend to set up a whole of 6th year group. If you would like to be included please email carolmdillon9@gmail.com with your own name and your child's name. It would be nice to see as many Parents as possible join. And who knows with a bit of luck and a large slice of science we may even be inviting you to join us for a coffee in 2021! Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Carol @ 087 7552451 or Enda @ 087 2344099
