In the afternoon students receive their iPad training which includes the process for redeeming eBooks. Please note student accounts must be setup using the ebook usernames and passwords on the information sheet provided by Wriggle with the iPad.

The Credit Union are taking applications from students that are attending college for the first time. This year they are giving away €1,000 to a student from each of the secondary schools within our area, the scholarship is not performance based. This means we will hopefully have a winner from our school if students apply!

We Welcome our new First Years next Monday August 23rd...

The summer holidays are drawing to a close and it's time to finalise the plan for next week, your first week in St Mary's CBS, your first week in secondary school. We know there is a combination of excitement and impatience in both parents and students, but also, understandably, the fear of the unknown. Who will be in your class, will you make new friends, what do you wear for the first day, bring on the following days, what if you can't remember your locker number or email password? Many questions but what are the answers?? Because we know your worries, we have planned the week so that Day One, Monday 23rd August, will be easy and casual... Wear no uniform, just your own casual clothes and footwear. Arrive in time for 9am. Bring a light snack and drink for your morning break. You will not need any books, pens or iPads. The 10 Meitheal Leaders, who are 6th years, will meet you and take you through the morning from 9am to 1pm. They have been trained to help you get to know one another and to mix with lads you don't know in a fun way so that you laugh and talk without realising it. They have a series of 'ice-breakers', games, orienteering around the school to familiarise you with the classrooms you will be using, how to read your timetable, introduce you to your lockers and combination locks, show you the school from a student's point of view - as they are students themselves. They will also answer your many questions. You will learn on Monday morning who your own Meitheal Leader is and how he will continue this support through all of first year. So it's not just next Monday that they will be available for you. When you leave at 1pm, you will be far more relaxed and ready to return the following morning. Monday evening, August 23rd, I will hold a Zoom Meeting with all First Year Parents/Guardians at 7.30pm for any further information or clarification. I will put the notification up on the App as to how the link will be available to you by Sunday. On Tuesday 24th August, all 1st years will be here from 9am to 12 noon. Again, no uniform, just bring snack/drink. This morning, Mr Brennan and his team of students will introduce you to our school’s IT (your login to our PC's, your new school email and password, introduce you to Microsoft Office and in particular Microsoft Teams, show you basic skills in how to send an email, etc.) These are very important skills which you'll be using each day and again, students only a few years older than yourselves, will be helping you along. At 12 noon, the students who don't have the Wriggle iPad will go home. Those who do have the Wriggle iPad, should have brought that with them into school. After a short break and snack, this group will learn how to use the iPads in class and other skills / guidelines specific to the use of iPads in school. This group will be finished at 2pm. On Wednesday, August 25th, only teachers will be in school - your first day off! On Thursday, August 26th, it's his first day to wear the full uniform, shoes and all. You should have paid for the lock and journal in advance on the App but if not, put the 20 euros in an envelope with your son's name on it and send in with him. He will receive his school journal and lock this morning, His Meitheal Leaders will be on hand to help him through it all. The Deputy Principals Mr Thompson and Mr Mulligan will speak with all class groups during the morning about how things run in school. No other students are in school today, just First Years. Each class will, at different times of this morning, sit their Incoming CAT4 Assessment Tests in one of the Computer Rooms. These tests last approx. 2 hours in total. Payment of 30 euros for these exams and future ones in 1st and 2nd year should be made, in advance, on our school App. Otherwise you may send the money in an envelope with your son’s name on it with him that morning. The day will end for all 1st years at 1.15. There will be no buses, please have a lift organised if necessary. On Friday, both 1st and 6th years will be in school from 9 – 1.15. First Years will be following their Timetables and attend 4 classes. All our classes are one hour. This is the first day that textbooks and copies will be used. The students should have brought in the books needed for Friday morning according to their timetable and they will have visited their lockers before 9am and again at their Break Time of 11.00. Again, the Meitheal Leaders will be in the areas of the lockers and probably helping them figure out their locks! Teachers will be introducing their subjects and getting to know their classes on this morning. Home then for the weekend, Week One is over!
