Best of luck to all our Leaving Certs who are sitting their LCVP Link Modules written Examination today.

In the interest of the orderly running of the school, parents/guardians/carers are asked NOT to sign out pupils or request that they be signed out after the exam.  The students will have English and Irish classes as normal in the afternoon.

Thank you for your co-operation.

The school tour for 3rd Year takes place next week on Thursday May 4th.

Classes will resume as normal for all 3rd Years on Friday May 5th.

The State Examinations Commission has decided to continue the scheme for deferred Leaving Certificate examinations for 2023.  The scheme for 2023 is being provided on the same grounds as in 2022 with one change in order to provide for a candidate who experiences an extreme medical emergency during an examination.  There is also a minor change to the timing of eligibility for access on grounds of bereavement.  

Important documents setting out details of the deferred examinations series are:

1. SEC Circular S24/23 outlining the Deferred Examination series
2. Information for Candidates and Parents/Guardians on the deferred examinations   

All of the documents are available on  at www.examinations.ie/ and may be accessed if the need arises. 

Hopefully, all will go well four our Leaving Certificate candidates and their familes.  However, please do not hesitate in contacting the school if you need to avail of the accomodation provided by the deferred examiniations.
