A reminder to parents and 6th yr students that CAO change of mind reopens today and allows for changes to your CAO college application course lists -                                                                                                                                                                                            This clip explains the process -         youtu.be/hB-5Igv4ZsM

Please see one of the Guidance Counsellors for assistance and to clarify any queries you may have.

 Parents, please be aware many students have no courses added to their CAO application - please check and work with your son/daughter to ensure their course lists are filled in.

 Things to remember -

                                  * This Change of Mind facility is open until JULY 1st - amend your lists now but  you also have a week after the Leaving Cert finishes to finally amend your lists

                                 * You can add,remove or change the order of courses on your lists (you cannot add restricted courses at this stage)

                                 * Please fill both lists to a total of 20 courses - over a range of points and ensure you have thoroughly researched all courses before adding them to your list - if in any doubt -  ask a Guidance Counsellor for help

                                 * Check the Alert lists on www.cao.ie to see if the course is still offered or if any entry requirements have changed etc...

                                 * MOST IMPORTANTLY - LIST THE COURSES IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE - THE COURSE YOU REALLY WANT GOES IN PLACE NUMBER 1, THE COURSE YOU WANT IF YOU DID NOT GET NO. 1 GOES IN PLACE 2 AND SO ON DOWN BOTH LISTS - ALWAYS IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE

                                * DO NOT EVER PUT DOWN ANY COURSE JUST TO FILL A SPACE - YOU COULD GET AN OFFER FOR THAT COURSE AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE RESEARCHED IT THOROUGHLY - NEVER ADD FILLER COURSES FOR THE SAKE OF IT

                                * You are advised to bring your list to the Guidance Counsellors who will go through it with you and check it for you.

                                 * We will meet with all 6th yr students next week to explain  CAO offers, accepting  a course and deferral.

Thank you, The  Guidance Team

TY students have organised an Ice Cream sale tomorrow and a Bake Sale on Thursday May 4th in aid of the Care Programme and the Rehabilitation Centre . All baked goods will be gratefully received and thank you for your continued support of all the charities that Scoil Mhuire supports. 

Dear 6th yr Students and Parents/Guardians, We hope the exams are going/have gone well for you all. As you are finishing your exams it is imperative to look again at CAO course lists and to ensure you are happy with your choices.  CAO closes on July 1st so no alterations to lists can be made after July 1st.

Parents please sit with your 6th yr student and go through their CAO lists for a final time and ensure they are:

1. Listed in order of preference i.e. the course they really want in place No. 1 , the course they want if they did not get their first choice in place no. 2 and so on down the list

2. All 10 options are filled in on both lists = a total of 20 courses

3. Students have researched all options and would be willing to accept any of their choices if offered

4. Students have a range of points courses on their lists

5. Keep a record of your final course choices.

If you have any doubts or queries please contact us by e-mail or by phone to the school.

Kind regards, The Guidance Team
