Dear Parents/Guardians, 
As the school year begins to draw to a close it is more important now than ever that your son attends school every day. It is in these next few weeks that all topics are revised, and preparation takes place for the Practical and Oral exams. There are only 6 weeks left for Leaving Certificate students, and these are vital to help increase grades and get any remaining exam tips. There is a direct correlation between attendance, grades and college places. Your cooperation in working with the school on this is greatly appreciated and will benefit your son in the Leaving Certificate exam.
