We will commence the roll out of our updated Mobile Phone Policy using Yondr pouches on Wednesday next. Students were shown the pouches and an unlocking device in class this morning. Teachers will hand out pouches in period 1 on Wednesday next and will go through the school updated mobile phone policy. A demonstration of using the unlocking devices will also be given. It is important that parents speak to their child about mobile phones in school and we urge you to become familiar with the policy on our website www.stmoguescollege.ie (parent tab)

The National Parents Council (NPC) have launched a survey that seeks the views of parents around their children’s experiences in schools. The NPC survey covers areas such as the impact of financial insecurity on children’s school experiences, the supports offered by school and how schools meet the needs of students from families facing tough times. The NPC are encouraging as many parents/guardians as possible to add their voice to the conversation. The link for the survey is here.
An energetic day out was had at Cavan Adventure Centre on Thursday, as TYs went on their bonding trip - a foggy start but the sun shone through. They enjoyed the water park, kayaking, archery and boating.
