It’s not every school wins the double on the double . . . . so early finish tomorrow at 12.55 to mark this achievement!!!!

Please note, that if individual teachers have made arrangements for practice orals, project work after school, detention etc, these may be rescheduled, to factor in the early finish. Students involved, need to check with their teachers on the morning.

We are really sorry for the short notice and wish everyone a restful Easter. PBC abú!!

The College has received communication from the Roads Policing Authority of An Garda Síochána, to inform us of a number of complaints they have received regarding cars parked in the bus lane along the Mardyke.

The Roads Policing Authority will be doing regular ‘drive-bys’ and fines will be issued based on car registration plates. Vehicle owners will be issued with fines in the post and not with tickets on the spot.

Please be aware, if you park in the bus lane, regularly, or on occasion, you may be getting a fine(s) without you being aware of the incident(s).

Needless to say there is absolutely nothing the College can do about this, so please don’t shoot the messenger!

Regards

Pres abú!

Good afternoon,

We have arranged for all of our sixth year students to attend the Cyclone Rep production of Hamlet, next Friday 22nd March.

This is an interactive show, geared specifically towards Leaving Cert revision. This has always been invaluable to our students in the past.

The price of the ticket for this is €15 and attendance for all students is compulsory.

The payment link is live now on Easy Payments and needs to be paid by the end of the week. 

Thank you!

Shane Twomey

Dear Parent / Guardian,

The excitement is building in school as we all look forward to tomorrow’s big occasion.

This communication is simply to remind you of some of the details around tomorrow’s final.

Tuesday will be a ‘Black and White’ day in the college where all students (and Staff!) are encouraged to wear the school colours. In keeping with our tradition of recent years, all students will be asked to donate €2 for Preslink as part of this non-uniform day.

As we will be travelling from the school in great numbers, and because of past experiences, the following restrictions have to be put into place:

If your son wants to sit / stand with the school cohort at the match:

1.     He must travel on one of the buses organised by the school.

2.     There can be no bags, food, drink nor water bottles on the buses.

3.     School bags will be left in the College Theatre overnight so homework from Tuesday will not be looked for on Wednesday.

4.   Face painting will only be allowed at the match grounds. No face painting in school or on the bus – no exceptions!

5.     In previous years, a small number of pupils have consumed alcohol before matches and their behaviour proved to be problematic as a result, posing a risk to the safety of themselves and those around them.

This is a school match and alcohol is not part of it.

If your son needs to drive to the match, he may be able to buy a ticket at the gate, but unfortunately, will not be able to stand with the school group. No student will be allowed enter the PBC student supporter’s area unless they were on one of our buses (an earlier notification was sent to parents of T.Y. students on work experience / social work).

As this is a school activity FULL SCHOOL RULES APPLY.             

Please speak to your son in advance concerning the above and his behaviour on the day.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

Finally, we wish all the players and their coaches the very best of luck.

Regards,
