6th years

Today is the last day on which 6th years, who have chosen NOT to sit any LC exams in June, must attend school. They will all receive the Accredited Grades for their Leaving Certificate and will finish today. Of course, they will return on Wed May 26th for their Graduation. All other 6th years, who are choosing to sit exams in even one of their subjects, will continue to attend their classes in preparation for their LC Examination in a few weeks time. But how will that work? All other classes are still being taught and/or sitting exams until May 27th. 6th years MUST either attend a full day from 9-4, or remain at home. Coming and going, texting parents to arrive at the office to take them home for an “unexpected appointment”, notes to say they can leave for ANY KIND OF APPOINTMENT, or arriving to school after 9am to begin classes for a shortened day will NOT be entertained. That would be a recipe for chaos and disturbance. Students who have any reason to finish early, such as genuine appointments, should remain at home for the full day. Parents who arrive to collect their son for unexpected events are asked not to, to respect the smooth running of our school for all students. Notes will not be accepted and students will not be admitted after the 9am class as this is a typical way for a student to just arrive in time for a particular class and to shorten their day. They will not be admitted. We expect students to put in a full day of work in school once they arrive. They will be following their normal timetable, attending classes and studying in the classes in which they are not sitting the exam for. We do not have the facilities for study rooms as all other students remain in their classrooms. Teachers will allow students to study in those subject classes where they are not sitting the exam, providing they are studying. We hope you understand that this is the best situation for all. Disturbing classes to get students out, long queues with notes for imaginary dentist and doctor appointments lead to chaos. If the appointment is real, choose to remain at home that day. There are, at most, 8 school days remaining for any 6th year after today, so we are not asking too much in order to ensure the orderly running of school, classes and exams for all. For those finishing off today, we look forward to their return for Graduation on Wednesday May 26th. Thank you all for your continued cooperation and support.

Our TYs engaged with the School of Life "First Impressions" workshop as part of their TY activities. The course covered - Suit etiquette - Ironing a shirt correctly - Fragrance etiquette - Tying the perfect tie Enjoyment levels were high throughout the workshop& apparently ‘practise makes perfect’ applies to ironing, so their homework assignment over the next two weeks is to do all the ironing at home!
Best of luck!!
