5th Year Subject Options

The subject options which your son has chosen are in the final stages of decision. There are still a few more phone calls I need to make to students and their parents for those whose choices did not work out 100% as they wished. There were only 4 who chose Music and 8 who chose Society & Politics which means that we can not run with them this year. Computer Science has a maximum class size of 24 but a good few more than that applied, meaning a few more disappointed. The selection for CS was carried out by the VSware programme which does the timetable - if a student put it high up that helped him get it. But if he also chose another subject with only one class group, and they were programmed in the same block, they can't be in 2 places at once! The programme had to decide which he got, depending on the numbers etc. Nobody was put in nor taken out of Computer Science. For those who wanted Music, Society Politics or Computer Science but didn't get it, you got the 5th choice you listed. There are a few students whom I will be ringing to see can we make changes to, so that you have 4 subjects. If you put down 2 of the 3 mentioned subjects, you are short a 4th subject. I will be ringing your home. If you don't hear from me, you don't need to. I hope this process will be completed by early next week and we will then inform you of your son's 4 choices. Keep your eye on this app for further notifications. Thank you MM

3rd Year Exams - Please read

Hi all, Our first day of online Summer Exams went ahead today and for the most part everything went quite well. Any issues were sorted and I want to thank the parents and students who contacted me this morning and afternoon to let me know what the problems were so we could get onto them and sort them asap. If there are any glitches in future exams we're asking you to email BOTH Mr Mulligan AND Mr Thompson so that at least one of them will pick up on it. Their emails are: bthompson@portlaoisecbs.com and cyrilmulligan@portlaoisecbs.com Today being the first I'm sure it was quite stressful for the lads and yourselves, the parents. There has been such a steep learning curve over the last 9 weeks that we all must congratulate ourselves and say well done to each other for continuing to learn new ways to remote learn and communicate from home. Take care.

When does tuition and communication end between LC students and teachers?

The following clarification on the Government’s FAQ page has been added today: 32. When does tuition to final year Leaving Certificate students cease, given that calculated grades are being put in place? As of 11 May 2020, tuition (whether online or in other ways) ceased for sixth-year leaving certificate students. This applies to the Leaving Certificate established, Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) and Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP). No additional work will be accepted from students from this date. Teachers and students may not discuss the student’s achievement in the subject over the past two years. Nor can they discuss the student’s ranking in a class, or their estimated mark or the level at which an estimated mark is to be provided in a subject. However, students remain students of the school until the end of the school term. In terms of the school’s role in supporting the wellbeing of Leaving Certificate students, the role of the Student Support Team as set out in the guidance issued recently to schools, should remain available until the end of the school term. You can access links to the supports provided by the National Education Psychological Service (NEPS) here. Further updates will be notified to members as they arise.
