For anyone who has tried to ring the school this morning without success, our phone line has not been accepting phone calls all morning. It has been reported and we hope it will be resolved soon. Apologies to anyone frustrated from trying.

This week, all current 3rd years and TY students will begin the decision making for next September. Will they do TY? Will they go straight into the traditional LC or LCA? What subjects will they choose? Will they do LCVP? What is it? Many senior subjects are different than the junior courses. What careers do they lead to. Do they need to keep on certain subjects for college? With this in mind, all students need to pay attention to the information which will be given to them this week and go home to discuss this with their parents before making their minds up and submitting the option forms or applying for TY.

Parents also need to support their sons in taking on board the information provided by our staff this week so that you can understand what choices your sons are being given.

This Tuesday, February 20th, at 7pm, parents of 3rd years are asked to attend an Information Evening. First, information will be given about Transition Year at 7pm. Then, at 8pm, those who are interested in 5th year options (that would be all those in TY now plus those in 3rd year who are not going to do TY) will be given information about the subjects, the courses and why some choices make more sense for your son than others. If your son is in TY now, do not attend until 8pm.

If you and your son are not sure about doing TY, we advise you to stay for the 2 sessions. If he decides not to do TY later in the term, you will have missed the relevant information for going into 5th year. There will be Q & A for both sessions. 

The due date for TY Applications is next Friday, February 23rd, It will be an online application to Mr Cahillane, the TY Coordinator. After that, he will be offered a place in TY and he must accept it by March 15th and also pay the €250 deposit to the school at that time. (on app or at the office). The balance of €250 is due On May 25th, on March 15th.

Students will also receive senior subject information from the various subject and Guidance departments this coming week also. LCVP has become a much easier subject to do in the last few years and all this will be explained to parents and students this week. Those who wish their son to do LCA (Leaving Cert Applied) will have another Information Evening, but not this week. This notification will be updated as required. 

Those going forward to 5th year in September will have "subject taster sessions" on Monday 4th March and Wednesday 6th March. 

Thank you.
