2021 Leaving Cert Late Practical Music Application - important
Created : 29 Mar 2021, 9:41 AM

Dear students and parents/guardians, Please see below an important message from the State Examinations Commission: "As you are aware, the Leaving Certificate Music practical performance tests are due to take place in schools from Tuesday 6 April until Friday 9 April. In the event that a candidate is unable to present for the test due to illness or as a result of a COVID related absence such as being a close contact, it will be possible for an application for a late test to be submitted to the SEC as in any year. Applications for a late test must be submitted on or before Tuesday 13 April. Applications for a late test must be accompanied by relevant medical documentation in case of illness or written confirmation from the school in the case of COVID related absences. The late practical performance tests will take place on evenings or at the weekend from Friday 7 May to Friday 14 May. There will be no further opportunity for candidates to present for the practical performance test outside of this assessment window. However, it should be noted that they will nonetheless have the opportunity to sit the written examination (forfeiting the mark for the practical component) and will also have the opportunity to receive an Accredited Grade in this subject. If a student had withdrawn their entry for the Leaving Certificate Music examination and now wants to reenter for the practical performance test and the written examinations, the school should send an email to practicals@examinations.ie on or before Tuesday 30 March so we can put in place the necessary arrangements for the examinations." If any student is affected by any of this information please contact me immediately on joeleonard@cpckilcullen.com Best wishes J Leonard

Further information in relation to examination events over Easter from the SEC

Dear students and parents/guardians, this afternoon I have received the following from the SEC confirming the plans we had put in place over the past few days: "Entry of candidates for oral interviews Candidates who have not registered on the Candidate Self-Service portal, or who registered on the portal but did not complete their selection of subjects and levels, can present for the oral interview. The details of these candidates must be added onto the ‘Candidate Entry Roll. as described in section 4 page 8 of SEC Circular 13/21. Candidates who had opted out of the written examinations and selected accredited grades only, and who now want to opt back in to sit the written examinations, should be facilitated by schools in undertaking their oral interview(s) as long as the oral interview takes place within the original time window (26 March to 15 April). The details of these candidates must be added onto the ‘Candidate Entry Roll” as described in section 4 page 8 of SEC Circular 13/21. Late orals in this circumstance are not permitted. When the portal reopens at end April/early May, candidates can update their choices to reflect their participation in the orals. (Note they will not be able to add new subjects). Extensions for oral interviews are only available to candidates who are unable to attend due to illness an on the provision of medical certification." Thank you to all students and/or parents who have contacted me to notify of a change of plan either opting in to take an oral interview or opting out. Please be assured that if you emailed me to opt out I have received it - there will be no reply to each individual email, it is for the record only. If there has been no change in your intentions then there is no need to contact me. In addition, the SEC has advised the following: "School Transport. With regard to school transport, and under the terms of the Department of Education’s School Transport Scheme, school transport services for eligible children generally operate during the standard school year to facilitate a child’s attendance during normal school opening and closing times only. The LC Music performance tests and the LCA Tasks are taking place over the Easter holidays and the designated period for the Oral Language interviews includes evenings, weekends and the Easter Holidays; time periods during which the School Transport Scheme is not operational. For public health reasons, and as these events are of short duration in schools, it would not be appropriate to have a normal school transport system in operation." If any student is (a) eligible for school transport under the terms of the Department’s School Transport Scheme and is (b) availing of school transport in the current school year and (c) has to attend for an examination event over the Easter holidays and (d) will have no possible way of getting to the school, please let me know immediately. I would like to wish all students engaging in examination events over the Easter holidays the very best of luck. Kind regards J Leonard
Happy Easter to the entire CPC community

I would like to wish all students, staff members, parents/guardians and your loved ones a safe and enjoyable Easter break. We look forward to welcoming back all of our students on April 12th. I would like to thank everybody for playing their part in ensuring that the phased reopening of the school has gone so well. As we enter a period of holiday the Department of Education has sent the following message: "It is important that we all continue to follow public health advice and limit our contacts during this period in order to minimise any opportunity for the virus to spread within our families and our communities. The Government and the Department will continue to support this with public health messaging to parents and students on the need to abide by the public health advice, emphasising hygiene practices, social distancing and recognising symptoms of Covid. Particular attention will be paid to the issue of socialising and playdates. In relation to school transport and in advance of the return after the Easter break, Bus Eireann will issue reminders to bus contractors, parents and students of their obligations to adhere rigorously to public health recommendations developed for school transport. Social distancing on post primary services of 50% capacity has now been achieved on virtually all routes on the post-primary scheme and for post-primary provision on the SEN scheme." I would echo this appeal to follow public health advice and limit our contacts so that we can reopen fully on April 12th. I look forward to a successful final term and brighter times ahead. J Leonard

Our TY students engaged really well and many felt their understanding of and interest in technology has increased. It was particularly interesting to discover how technology is used in almost every profession and lifestyle.
