The school year calendar on this App has been set up with as many dates as we know at this time. The Coffee Mornings aren't possible.

We hope that the end of year events such as Graduation, Awards Night, etc will take place in person and in school. The Exam times are marked in and the respective timetables will be provided closer to the time.

I hope you all had a pleasant and relaxing Halloween Break. I first want to thank everyone for their diligence and care in cooperating with our school's Covid-19 Response Plan in the first term. The lads have been remarkable, mature and compliant, far beyond anyone's expectations. Parents you can be proud of your sons.
As we return in the morning, I think I am within my role as Principal, and one who is responsible for everyone's health and safety in our school, to ask students who have been socialising and had close contacts during the week with others (outside of Covid-19 lockdown guidelines) to remain at home and sign into Teams for their classes. Please refer to NPHET Guidelines for Level 5 at this link for your clarification: www.gov.ie/en/publication/2dc71-level-5/
It is vital for all aspects of Irish life: economic, mental health, all those requiring medical care in our system, social, cultural, family and the upcoming Christmas that we all take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for our health and safety and make responsible decisions not to partake in activities outside of recommended guidelines. Many have made tough sacrifices, have lost health and loved ones and it is not over yet. But it can be done. It is about NOT BEING SELFISH.
We look forward to a good term in the run up to Christmas. The Pre-Mock Exams begin on Monday Nov 9th for 2 weeks and the other Christmas Exams begin after those. Dates to be provided this week. Take care, see you tomorrow. MM
Update on Sanitisers

After a week of changing lists of approved and non-approved sanitisers, we have had to change out the product we were using over this weekend for a new approved one. Can I stress at this time that we purchased from the approved suppliers and from the approved list of products for that supplier in August, and purchased in good faith. When the 2 lists (approved/non-approved) were released last Thursday evening our product was on neither list. We followed this up on Friday morning with several phone calls which in turned raised flags and we were told to discontinue its use. Not because it had caused skin reactions but due to lack of certification, like the other products named.
With the welcome help of Jim Murphy of Hugh's Chemist Portlaoise, we were able to obtain a certified supply by Saturday afternoon which we have distributed to classrooms in bottle form and replaced the gel in all dispensers along the corridors and in public areas such as the GPA and lunch areas both upstairs snd downstairs. We expect to receive a large order by Tuesday morning which we can use to replace the old gel in all classroom dispensers. There is absolutely no fear of students/teachers accidentally using the original gel as the batteries in those dispensers have been removed and they won’t work. Only dispensers with new gel have batteries in place.
We hope this update relieves any anxieties you may have had over these last few days. As always, the safety and health of our students and staff remain our top priority.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
