DES Inspection / Supporting Safe Provision of Schooling (SSPS) Inspection
Created : 19 Nov 2020, 8:03 AM

Dear Parents/Guardians, The school had a Supporting Safe Provision of Schooling (SSPS) Inspection on Wednesday undertaken by the Department of Education. This Inspection is known locally as a Covid Protocols Inspection. The Inspector checked all relevant Covid Response Planning paperwork, Child Protection documentation, interviewed staff on aspects of our Covid planning, and visited 10 classrooms including the isolation room and other areas created specifically for teaching during the pandemic. The Inspection feedback is that the school is fully compliant with all statutory obligations. The whole school community was warmly congratulated on the depth and detail of the preparations that had taken place to prepare for back to school, the positive engagement and assistance of staff and the exemplary behaviour of the students. It was noted that the school was an exemplar of good practice and I was asked to pass on the thanks of the Inspectorate to the whole community for their sustained efforts. When the final report is received from the DES it will be published on the school website. I would like to thank our parents/guardians for their continued support as we all collaborate to keep our school community as safe as possible. M. Gorby

A big well done to the Coiste Gaeilge on organising Lá Labhartha na Gaeilge today. Everyone made a real effort to speak their cúpla focal and first years really led the way with the support of their new Coiste class reps. Rachel Doyle in P6 designed the tshirts for today with the 'Labhair Gaeilge liom 2020' logo. We are also very proud of our new seanfhocail board. Many thanks to Mr Walsh for putting it up. We are also delighted to be able to display the Gaelbhratach flag that last year's Coiste Gaeilge worked so hard for. Maith sibh, a chailíní.

To combine the two worthy causes of promoting positive mental health and boosting our Sports Facilities Fundraiser initiative, we have designed a fleet of special edition OLS Noggin hats… These hats will keep you warm while out and about while also supporting mental health awareness projects through the Noggin business model. Investing in your own OLS Noggin hat for €20 (or buying one for a friend…the perfect Christmas gift!) will mean you are promoting mental health awareness, supporting our own Sports Facilities Fundraiser and keeping cosy as winter beckons! Now more than ever, as we operate within Covid restrictions during the school day, we are so aware of how central our outdoor spaces are to school life and to our mental health as we try to get out and moving in fresh air as often as possible. Support this initiative. Support your school. Buy your OLS Noggin hat through Easy Payments today: pay.easypaymentsplus.com/feepay1v2.aspx?id=953
