Possible Snow / Ice - School Closure
Please be aware that if the predicted snow / ice materialises as forecast, then it may be necessary to close the school for the safety of our students, staff and the wider school community. Hopefully dangerous conditions will not materialise but best to be prepared.
Should we need to decide on school closure, we will inform parents by text, the school app and via our website, www.portlaoisecbs.com
Study Time
If it is deemed necessary to close the school then please use these days as study days in preparation for examinations. I appeal to you to keep you study and focused subjects within the same time-frame of a normal school day 9.00am - 4 .00 pm. Or divide it up - 3 hours in the morning, 2/3 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening.
Make a study timetable
Make a study timetable that will enable you to retain information. For example, if you study one subject for 40 minutes in the morning, make sure that you timetable 20 minutes later in the day to test yourself on what you remember. Please make a detailed study timetable and adhere to it the best you can. It will help your focus.
Always work against the clock.
Each time you study, clearly specify the work that you intend to complete, and set yourself a given period of time in which to complete it. Don’t become a “clock-watcher” - they sit in the room quite happily , just so long as they spend sufficient time”at the books”.
Prepare, Plan and Evaluate
Take notes, attempt exam questions.If you can get the opportunity to speak some Irish, French or Spanish with family or friends then take it. Every little helps - make it happen!
Remember at the beginning of your exam papers you are given the required time allocation for each exam question - it is vital when answering these questions that you try to stay within this time frame.
Stay safe, keep the balance, and enjoy a little fun with family and friends.

Students from St Mary’s C.B.S joined 7,000 other teenagers from around Ireland at the 3Arena last Thursday for the 2018 Cycle Against Suicide Student Leaders’ Congress.
The event, which started as a gathering of 40 students in 2012, is now the largest young people’s mental health conference in Europe. The event focused on two central objectives; promoting positive mental health and encouraging help-seeking behaviour in young people. The students were treated to several musical performances as well as engaging talks from a variety of people such as Kevin Hines, Paralympians Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal and snapchat star James Kavanagh.
The Student Leaders’ Congress is organised and run by Cycle Against Suicide, the charity organisation that aims to foster an environment of positive mental health through the promotion of its core message that ‘It’s OK not to feel OK; and it’s absolutely OK to ask for help’. For details on this year’s cycle log on to www.cycleagainstsuicide.com.
