Parent/Guardian Update: Semester 3: Week 1: Friday 1 March 2024

Dear parents and guardians,

It's a very snowy and wet start to March, let's hope it doesn't continue. It did affect the Clonmellon bus on the way into school today, though it did the run home.

New Learning Code (Behaviour Code) Pilot for 1st Years.

Today five prefects attended 1st Year tutorial to gather Asset Portfolio totals from 1st Year students.

Derbhile Gallagher will check the Assets once they are all entered onto a spreadsheet and the first Student of the Week Certs will issue at assembly next week by Roger Maxwell, year head.

We had some very excited students this morning.

Hurling

Anthony Sheridan's senior hurlers had a strong win yesterday over Oldcastle and will now progress to the final, date tbc.

Cavan FE College

Susan Moran brought 6th Years and LCA1 & 2 to Cavan Further Ed College yesterday.

1st Year Trip

Roger Maxwell brought two History classes to Trim this week which went well.

TY/LCA Interviews

We had over 50 applications for TY this year and so will be putting on a second class. Tom O'Dowd, Louise Byrne and Maggie McGrory held TY interviews with 3rd Years this week.

We have also organised interviews for prospective LCA candidates and their parents for next week.

Traditional LC

Students going into 5th Year in Sep are in the process of choosing their options through VS Ware at the moment. We have sent home reports following the psychometric testing done on students in 3rd Year and TY last week which should help inform parents and students of what subject options should suit best. We are, as always, available to give advice if needed.

Basketball

Best of luck to Shannon Watsun's basketballers today who have not arrive back as yet.

LCPE

Freddie Williams did a Performance Assessment with LCPE students today.

Lates

Our new lates system began this week. We have seen an improvement from 116 lates to 97 so far, seven students have detention next week due to having two lates or more in the morning. Remember, you will get a text home to say they are late and if there is a legitimate reason such as a late bus, the student is excused.

Requests to Leave Early

We had 52 requests from parents to leave early for appointments this week, 39 parents sent in requests via the app. This is slight decrease in incidents of leaving early and a slight increase in app requests - both are going in the right direction.

We would kindly ask you not to ask our lovely Jackie to go running around the school looking for your child to go home early unless it is an emergency (we accept entirely, that emergencies happen). We do understand that the traffic at the end of the school day can be irritating but withdrawing students between 3pm and close of the day is particularly difficult for our office staff.

Next Week

PTM Meeting Thu 7th March for 5th Years - reports will be printed out and given to you on the day so you can go through the grade/comment with teachers

On the 27th February first year classes Brigid and Enda visited Trim Castle to complement their classroom studies on life in the Middle Ages. The students received a very informative and engaging talk from their tour guide Gerry who traced the development of the castle and the role of the de Lacy family in its construction. It proved a very educational experience for all involved. Students were accompanied by their History teacher Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Walsh and Ms. O’Donoghue.
