Hilary and Henrietta Igbionwanhia have qualified for the semi-finals of the Leinster Schools' Debates. Isabel O'Keeffe went through as an individual speaker to the semi-finals also. A huge achievement for the girls. We look forwarding to seeing what happens next. Best of luck. Hilary and Henrietta have been busy training over the last couple of weeks for their virtual trip to Cambridge this weekend to debate in the Cambridge Schools' Competition. It's an extremely challenging competition. Best of luck to them both. Many thanks to Ms Lea for all her hard work, helping to give the girls lots of practice and training.

On Sunday 23rd of Feb Hilary and Henrietta competed in the Ireland heats of the Cambridge Schools' Debates and have qualified for the Cambridge Finals in March. It's a superb achievement as there are only 4 Irish schools qualifying. Normally they'd be travelling to the UK for the finals - but as that can't happen that year, they will participate via Zoom. Well done girls we are all so proud of you. We will keep you posted on how the do. Good luck.

Dear Parents and Guardians, We are now in our third week back at school. We have received a very positive response from students, teachers and parents regarding the online experience since the 11th January. Full Schedule - all Years & Attendance There is a full schedule in place for all students in all years, 1st to 6th year. Your daughter should be in attendance for all classes, if she is not able to attend school on a particular day or part of a day, please use the notes section on the App. Your daughter will be marked absent accordingly and should not message teachers directly re absences without the back up of a note from a parent. Following Teacher Instructions Students are required to have their camera on in class unless otherwise instructed by their teacher. The same applies for microphones. If there is a consistent problem with your daughter's camera or microphone, please let the school know by sending a note through the App. We have received great feedback from students that they are enjoying seeing each other and especially being able to chat when doing group work in break out rooms. This interaction is vital for wellbeing. Submission of Work Please encourage your daughter to submit her work on time. If there is a difficulty this should be communicated to the teacher directly. Fitness & Sports Sessions Fitness classes after school are now being run by Brendon Carolan for all students. The classes are scheduled once a week for each year group. Given the poor weather we are experiencing this is a great opportunity for your daughter to be active. I hope the girls engage and enjoy these sessions. Please see the App for details. Student Council Our student council are working on some very exciting fun initiatives to keep our students connected and engaged over the next few weeks. Please keep an eye on our app and Microsoft teams for more information. Thank you once again for the very high levels of participation from all students. We know that there are great challenges to online learning and to the situations that we are all in at present. Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you have concerns about your daughter. When we know more about the plans for a phased return to school, we will be in touch. Please stay safe and well. Kind regards Bernadette Prendiville Principal Is mise le meas Bernadette Prendiville Principal Loreto College Foxrock

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.
