School Closure Update

The Minister for Education confirmed today that the school closure is to be extended until Sunday April 19th. This means we will continue our remote learning contingency plan, Stay Connected, for a little longer than originally announced. Our commitment is to keep our school community connected and to keep our students' learning on track, albeit remotely. To date, the community drive to achieve these goals, by staff, students and their parents/guardians, is most commendable. As our remote learning journey has become a little longer than originally planned, we would also like to strongly emphasise to students and parents/guardians the crucial importance of maintaining a school routine and structure over the coming weeks. Student feedback has suggested very strongly that this helps students to stay focussed and stay on top of things. We ask our students now to trust their peers' feedback and get the most out of their learning experiences over the coming weeks by establishing a steady routine, staying as close to school hours as possible. We will continue to keep you updated as further information becomes available to us. Many thanks.
Advice from you to you!

To the OLS community, Congratulations on completing your 1st week of remote learning! I hope everyone is well and managing to keep their spirits high during this challenging time. During these remarkable times it is important to utilize the extraordinary technology we have available to us to stay connected with our friends and families.  Communicating with our friends who we are so accustomed to seeing everyday is vital in looking after our wellbeing and protecting our mental health. Daily exercise also plays a significant role in protecting our wellbeing and maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Navigating these unprecedented times can be difficult, particularly when it comes to distance learning. Try your best to keep on top of school work and deadlines and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed.  Remember to remain positive, follow the social distancing guidelines and be the best citizens we can be during these times of uncertainty.  We can remain connected with our OLS community this morning with the help of our remote house meeting challenge at 12:10, which promises to be an exciting experience... House from Home! Lily Rath

Well done to all on the great efforts to keep schoolwork going this week. All students were emailed a survey link today so that we can do a check-in about what's going well for students and what they may need more help with. Please ensure this survey is filled out so that all voices are heard. If you did not get the link, please email remotelearning@olschool.ie. Many thanks.
