Dear Parent or Guardian I would like to congratulate the students on their participation this week in Readers & Writers week and Maths week. Today was a fun-filled day in school and it was heartening to see the students enjoying the activities. Rich learning happens through events such as these. With regard to Covid 19 restrictions, no changes are being introduced for schools after mid-term. We have now found ways of introducing fun based activities to school that fall within the guidelines. While many restrictions have been lifted in society, schools are deemed to be safe places and therefore no significant changes are envisaged for them in the near future. I wish to thank all our staff, students and parents who continue to be very supportive of the school and the guidelines by which we are bound. The wearing of masks and the other restrictions are wearing for all in school on a daily basis. At times we are all frustrated with the restrictions. That said, the health and safety of everyone in our school community is paramount. We look forward to another term which will bring the ring of Christmas as it comes to an end. Dates to note: 4th November: 3rd Year - Learning Advice Meeting (PTM), 4.15pm - 6.45pm 15 - 19 November - November Assessments for 1st, 5th & 6th Year students. Classes as normal for all other years. 22 - 26 November - November Assessments for 2nd, 3rd & 4th Year Students. Classes as normal for all other years. The mid-term progress report for 1st year students is now available on VSware. The co-curricular timetable will continue after the mid-term break. The uptake of all the activities has been very strong. Please continue to encourage your daughters to be involved. Friendships are made and school is enjoyed through sport and other activities. Last week Hannah McLoughlin, our past pupil, came to the school. At 21 she is a member of the Irish Ladies Hockey team and played in all games at the recent Olympics. The first and second year students got to meet with her. Her key messages for the students were to stay focussed on what you enjoy and to stay involved in sport or other activities right through school. We thank her and wish her well in her future academically and in her sport. I wish you all a lovely mid-term. I look forward to seeing everyone back in School on 1st November, refreshed and ready to start again. With every good wish Bernadette Prendiville, Principal 'Though we live in a world that dreams of ending, that always seems to give in, something that will not acknowledge conclusion insists that we forever begin'.
