RE: Layout of the School Day and return to school
Dear Parents / Guardians,
In line with Department of Education and Skills guidelines all class periods must be of at least 40 minutes duration. This is to facilitate new teaching methodologies in the new Junior Cycle Programme being introduced.
After consultation with the Staff, the Student Council and the Parent’s Council a new layout to our school day has been agreed and adopted by the Board of Management. A copy of the new layout is attached. This will be tested for the coming academic year and will be reviewed again next May.
School will re open the week of August 28th.
| Monday 28th August | Staff Training Day |
| Tuesday 29th August | Staff Meeting |
| Wednesday 30th August | 1st years |
| Thursday 31st August | 2nd, 3rd, 5th & 6th years |
| Friday 1st September | 1st, 2nd, 3rd, TY, 5th, 6th years |
Wishing all our school families an enjoyable summer break.
Yours sincerely,
Maighréad Mhic Dhomhnaill
Our 1st Year Students enjoyed a day of discussion, activities and reflection at Esker retreat centre today. The theme of the day was New Beginnings. Students had the opportunity to reflect on their first year in secondary school, their friendships and their gifts and talents.
