Apologies for the lateness of this message.
In the interest of fairness to students sitting their assessments - students will only be permitted to go to their exam centre at the start of the session. We must ask any student that is studying at home in the morning to only come to school at morning break. Unfortunately due to our limited resources and space, we do not have the facility to supervise students that are not in exam centres. While this only applies to a relatively small number of students, we are seeking the cooperation of our whole school community. Students not in school for any reason should not be out and about even if explained on our App.
Many thanks.
Assessment Week 2020

Arrangements for Assessment Week 2020;
Students are welcome to study in school during any period where they do not have an assessment. Students can also study after an assessment is completed once they have handed up their script.
Where a student has no assessment in the morning (first exam block 9 - 11am) they can study at home as long as their parent/guardian sends a "late note" via the app in advance (before 8.15am). These students can only sign in between 11 - 11.25am. These students will be marked "late explained" to school as a student not present in school cannot be marked in due to health and safety regulations.
Where a student has no assessment in the afternoon (last exam block 1.55 - 3.45pm) they can study at home as long as their parent/guardian sends a "permission to leave note" via the app in advance (before 8.15am). These students must sign out at 1.25pm.
Students will not be permitted to sign in/out during an assessment block. (Other than for medical reasons, students will not be permitted to phone home to get permission to leave- this must be provided in advance via the app - before 8.15am).
Where a student has a middle block (11.25am - 1.25pm) free. they are not allowed to leave the school premises and instead must study in their base room/assessment area for that block.
Students must physically sign in/out at the school Office.
Best of luck to all our students in their assessments!

Maynooth University - Engineering Maths Exam

Dear Sixth Year Students, Please see below re Maths Exam for Engineering in Maynooth and register if interested.
Regards. Ms. McGee
The Department of Electronic Engineering at Maynooth University ([]www.maynooth university.ie/electronic-engineering) will hold an Engineering Mathematics Examination for students who wish to apply and undertake a degree in Engineering (MH304) but who do not have the required H4 in Leaving Certificate Mathematics.
Students wishing to apply for Engineering (MH304) at Maynooth University can apply using the Available Place procedure via the CAO (www.cao.ie), and register for the Maths Entrance Exam.
The examination will take place online on Wednesday 16 September 2020 and those wishing to take the examination must register by 5pm Friday 11 September.
The Engineering Maths Exam is based on the Leaving Certificate Higher Level syllabus (Paper one). A free online preparatory course will take place on Tuesday 15 September.
Students who have obtained a H4 in Mathematics and fulfil the other requirements can also make an Available Place application and do not need to take the examination in mathematics.
To register for the exam and for further information on MH304 academic requirements and sample papers please see www.maynoothuniversity.ie/mathsexam
'Like any 6th year student heading to college I had no idea what I wanted to study. All I knew for certain was that I liked maths and I enjoyed solving problems. Therefore, I put engineering and computer science down on my CAO. As it turned out my worst nightmare came true, I let myself down in my Leaving Cert. I was made aware after my results about an exam Maynooth University offered to study Electronic Engineering. It was my saving grace as rather than repeating my Leaving Cert, I had this second chance to keep progressing. Needless to say I aced it, I am now on my way to graduating with a ME in Electronic Engineering in 2021! My experience of the engineering department in Maynooth University has been extremely positive. Due to the smaller classes you build an invaluable relationship with your department and peers. This course has been challenging me from day one, encouraging me to think outside the box and to not shy away from the problems that seem un-solvable.' Jessica Cullen MU Engineering student (Year 4)
