Staff Car Park is not a drop off area
Created : 30 Aug 2022, 11:01 AM

Good morning parents, please note that parents are not to drive into the staff car park to drop off their sons. The barrier will be manned by Sodexo from this afternoon. This morning was a disaster, parent's cars stopped in the middle of the driving lane, discussions being had between parents and son, doors opening up randomly, one person stopped (after their son had already gone into school) behind cars blocking several parking spaces, and it is the same each year. From a health and safety point of view, a door opening unexpectedly from a stopped car is dangerous. Students alighting unexpectedly is an accident waiting to happen. Your cooperation is appreciated.

The Wearing of Uniform PE Half Zips and Black Tracksuit Bottoms

This is how we will begin our year - anyone who has PE, should wear their PE gear (uniform one) into school and stay in it until you go home at 4pm,. This will save a lot of time changing as the class is only an hour. If students begin to wear it on days they don't have PE, taking advantage of the situation, we will have to look at it again, and possibly require that the grey and black uniform with the wool jumper be worn in and home and the PE gear brought only tfor the PE class itself. That was the reason we made that change last year, as students were taking advantage. But hopefully students will respect our request this year, for the good of everyone. The only downside to this is that tracksuit bottoms, socks and runners can be drowned and t-shirts sweaty. Use common sense, have a change in your bags to change into at the first opportunity so that you are not sitting in wet mucky clothes and runners, nor are you sweaty and smelly. Seniors doing the LC PE course, with an exam at the end of it, are not running around and spend time in the classroom as well. Their teacher will select the day for them to wear the PE gear and that is all they will wear it in addition to the normal PE which everyone does. Otherwise, Seniors could be in PE gear 4 of the 5 days a week. Thank you.

Message for all 1st year parents this evening

Today's IT session for our 1st years was a great success. Thank you to you parents who organised for the lads to get in and to the many teachers who volunteered to assist Mr G Brennan and Mr E Dunne, our iPad and IT Coordinators. Everyone's help was appreciated. Hopefully any issues with passwords, logins and the like have been met head on and sorted before school begins. Opportunities to ask questions were provided and this will lead to a much better start to the school year experience around the use of Microsoft 365, iPads and other devices used at home and the use of emails, MS Teams etc. Familiarity with regular use in the coming weeks will make them more comfortable and competent. We look forward to tomorrow's Induction with their Meitheal leaders. Again I want to thank Ms Foley our Student Leadership Coordinator and the 6th years involved who have prepared for tomorrow during their holidays and were in here all day today getting ready. We hope you enjoy tomorrow. There will not be a Parents' Information Night this week, as all the information is on the App and the boys have been in for 2 almost full days this week. They begin to wear their uniform on Thursday and they should bring a snack for their 'small' break at 11am. There are no school buses, unless they are privately organised ones as school ends early. The first full day of school for the entire school population is Monday September 5th, (9am-4pm) The boys should bring 20 euros or else have it paid on the app beforehand (we will have a record of those who have paid). They will get their locks and journals Thursday morning. Their will get their lockers as well and can, if they wish, bring in some of their books on Thursday to put into their locker, as there are a lot of books to carry. They won't be doing any classes, there are lots of other things to be done that morning. Timetables will be given out on Thursday. On Friday, they will go to their classes. Classes are one hour each. Just bring the pen, journal and the books for that morning's timetabled classes. They may bring their iPad on Friday, but no need on Thursday. Looking forward to seeing them then.
