A little task if like me you are a little unsure - ascertain the significance of flowers being left on your doorstep today.
Classes will be suspended from 12.15 on Tuesday 5th May until 9.05am on Wednesday 6th May for Staff meeting and planning. A time for a little catch-up or maybe a well earned break for our students and yourselves.
We will have a further update on Tuesday.
Wishing you all a restful weekend!

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the tragic death of Mr Charlie Picorro. Mr Picorro's death was as a result of a two vehicle road traffic accident. Mr Picorro's son Michael is a 3rd Year student in our school. We extend our support, thoughts and prayers to Michael, his mother Mafe, their extended family and friends at this difficult time.
We also remember other members of our school community, past and present that have recently lost loved ones. Our support, thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We are also very conscious of how difficult these extraordinary times are for some members of our school community. Please take care of yourselves and don't be afraid to seek support.
We have been made aware of an initiative to support the Picorro Family at this time. It can be accessed using this link; www.gofundme.com/f/picorro

Social Distancing!
Created : 21 Mar 2020, 8:26 PM
Archived : 10 Apr 2020, 1:00 AM
We hope this message finds you all well!
Take care of yourselves.
These are recent words from Tánaiste Simon Coveney:
TANAISTE Simon Coveney hit out at young people who are ignoring the social distancing guidelines and continuing to gather in large groups.
Speaking in the Seanad, the Tanaiste fumed: “We need to confront our families and our peers and our communities to make sure that everybody takes that seriously and if we do we will save lives — thousands of them.”
He added: “It sounds like we’re living in a movie set, but believe me when we look back in six weeks’ time or 12 weeks’ time we’ll wish we’d done more, and we’ll wish we’d confronted those kids on a street corner or at the end of a housing estate gathering under a tree or under a light or wherever”.
TEENS CAUSING TROUBLE
The Tanaiste said he was specifically talking about “teenagers hanging out together in people’s homes or on street corners, interacting and socialising and chatting as they would normally do”.
“I think actions (being asked of population) right now are very significant and challenging for people. I think the vast majority of people are taking actions. The smaller minorities who aren’t, what I say to you, you are putting lives at risk,” he told reporters at a Government press briefing on Friday.
The Tánaiste said of the emergency powers passed: “I hope we never need them, but I suspect we might.” He said parents, families, peer groups and communities needed to confront people who were not taking the public health message seriously.
The Tánaiste has warned people who are not observing social distancing will look back and wish they'd done more to stop the spread of the Coronavirus.

Study Tips for Easter Holidays
Dear Exam Students,
Well done with your engagement with on-line lessons and on mastering a very different kind of classroom. It’s been a challenge for everyone.
Over Easter, take a well-deserved rest but do not switch off entirely.
Here are a few tips for the holidays.
Do some study every day.
Use a study timetable (see attached)
Try at least 3 subjects a day –
– (study, learn, test yourself)
We all learn in different ways. What method works best for you? – Summarising notes into bullet points? Mind maps? Learning and repeating out loud? Having someone ask you what you have learned?..............
Try to do what works for you.
Always test yourself after each period of learning. Practice exam questions.
www.examinations.ie
Leave the phone in another room when you are studying.
We hope you and your families are keeping well. Best Wishes, Ms. McGee and Ms. Travers.
