In the next school year we will be moving to a one hour class timetable for a two year trial period.  Tomorrow, Tuesday 28th March, we will be following a one hour class timetable for the day.  The students have been sent their timetable for the day via teams aand they should organise their books for six classes and not nine.  We will review the day with staff and students and will get back to parents after Easter regarding the distribution of classes over the week and any changes to the start or finish times.

Re: Self Defence Workshop

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

As part of our SPHE and wellbeing programme, we are introducing a self-defence workshop for third years this year. This initiative aims to promote life skills along with confidence and personal security awareness. The workshop will take place on Tuesday 28th March for 3A and 3B, and Friday 31st March for 3C and 3D. If for any reason you would like your daughter not to participate, please email me on aoife.crowley@holyfaithclontarf.com.

Yours Sincerely,

A Crowley

(Wellbeing and SPHE Co-ordinator)

Many parents of students with dyslexia struggle to know how to support the student at the secondary level as the challenges are different to those experienced at the primary level. This webinar, which takes place on Wednesday 15th March at 7:30pm, aims to give practical help and advice. Please register via the following link: https://tinyurl.com/ntrjnyk2

A reminder to parents that there will be no classes for students on Wednesday 8th March due to Staff In-Service.

There will be a talk for parents of Transition Year students on Tuesday 7th March at 7:30pm in the Assembly Hall.  There will be an outline of the Leaving Certificate programmes offerd by the school, subjects available in the school and how students can select their subjects for Leaving Certificate.  Students will have a similar talk later in the week and teachers from the various subject departments will meet with the year group.
