When you open your app to read Notifications, there is a grey section across the lower screen. On that are 'Notification', 'Personal Notification' and 'Attention Please'. They are normally in black print. IF THERE IS A RED DOT OR WORDING IN RED it means there is something there for your son's year group which you should read.
Today, the 3rd and TY parents will soon see Personal Notification written in red with a red line under it. All the subject presentations and information prepared by our subject departments will be available this afternoon for you to read and consider in choosing subjects and completing the form.
The Attention Please should have a red dot which means if you click that it will take that same group of parents directly to the Subject Option Form.
Anyone who should not be getting either form or information will see nothing but the usual black words on grey background.
All parents should keep a daily eye on this as we are using the form for submission of all documents and permissions in future. All those returning to school on April 12th will have to submit their son's Return to School form via the Attention Please notification. When it is available for completion, the weekend of April 10th, you will see the red dot and can find the form by clicking on it.
Thank you.

Our Transition year students got to engage with two amazing workshops over the past two weeks - The Fundamentals and SOAR.. The workshops(which were planned for earlier in the year) were brought in to help lads develop personally, set goals suited to them and work towards fulfilling their potential!
The Fundamentals
The Fundamentals provides learning and training experiences to develop key skills and strategies in young people.
Their vision is centred around 3 particular aims;
Engage - We aim to meet students at their level, engaging them with material and activities that they find interesting and worthwhile.
Educate - We provide students with valuable strategies that they can use practically in team scenarios, leadership roles or sole personal development.
Enjoy - We enjoy our work and take huge pride in our students enjoying their sessions and workshops. We are committed to developing new activities and learning methodologies.
Soar
Soar is a collective movement which believes that there is greatness within all young people. They act on this by creating and delivering early intervention, character development workshops for young people aged 13 to 18 years from all backgrounds. Their workshops empower young people to thrive, believe in themselves and fulfill their true potential. Within a supportive environment, they are given the opportunity to be themselves and explore any challenges that hold them back from doing so and have worked with over 34,000 young people since 2012 !
Soar was founded in 2012 by Tony Griffin and Karl Swan. They were inspired by the work of Jim Stynes and The Reach Foundation in Melbourne Australia having seen the documentary “Every Heart Beats True: The Jim Stynes Story”. Soar is now led by a high performing Board of Directors and a tribe of wildly enthusiastic staff, facilitators and volunteers who care deeply about young people. The lads certainly didn't disagree as 100% of them recommended the workshop for next year!
The feed back suggests that both will certainly be booked in for our programme in 2021/22!
Well done to our TY film group!

Fresh Film was originally a schools video competition for secondary students founded in 1997. It has since grown into a year round organisation with a focus on national and international filmmakers spanning the primary and secondary age groups. ‘Fresh International Film Festival’ has incrementally grown in scope in response to increasing numbers of entries and ‘Ireland’s Young Filmmaker Awards” now constitute three sections – Junior (7-12 years) – Senior (12- 18 years) and The International Young Filmmaker Awards. Each section is open to individual filmmakers, schools, youth and community groups in these age categories.
Well done to the boys on their great work!!

This has been sent to your app since 6pm this evening. Do not run to submit quickly as you have a full week to think about it, to read the subject information provided on this app from tomorrow, Friday, under SCHOOL INFO, discuss what your son wants to do after leaving school and have a look at our website under Students Tab / Guidance & Support / Careers Portal.
When you open your App to Notifications, you should see, on the lower right side of your opened app, 'Attention Please', a triangle with a red dot beside it - meaning you have a message. When you click this it will take you directly to the PERMISSION FORM sent to you earlier. Upon clicking this, you will see an explanation about what you are to do. Scroll down and tick the appropriate boxes - you must reply to all, you cannot skip any. We need all this information to make our plans for next September. .
You can also access this by looking at the red page with a long list of app pages - find CONSENT FORM - and as photo shows, the 5th Year Option Form is also found this way.
When you son returns to school in a few weeks, this is where you will also find his Return to School Form to submit before April 12th.
When complete, read over it and then SUBMIT

The presentation will give tips and suggestion around how parents can help their teenager optimise the remaining study time from now until June and their management of the obstacles that may prevent students maximising their efforts.
