Good morning TY students and parents, Buses will likely not be running this morning owing to icy conditions on narrower roads.

Please contact your employer if you are unable to travel or will be arriving late. Please let Ms Carty know with a message on Teams if you are unable to attend your work experience today.

Farewell Coláiste Muire!

Good morning Parents/Guardians,

Today, 1st February, we celebrate CEIST Ceiliuradh Day - a new annual tradition to celebrate all that is good about our school, which is part of the CEIST community and trusteeship for the past 16 years. 'Ceiliuradh' or celebration is something that is a regular occurance in Coláiste Muire, as you have seen from our numerous posts over the past months in our app and on social media. 

'Ceiliuradh' has a second meaning, that of farewell and it is appropriate today that I formally announce my departure from Coláiste Muire as Acting Principal.  It has been a privilege to lead your school for the past three and a half years and as Deputy Principal before that. I take this opportunity to thank you, parents/guardians for your support. 

My final day will be Friday 10th February and the Board of Management are currently in the process of working out a start date for Ms. Dayna Byrne who has been appointed as Deputy Principal.  

I leave with many fond memories and wish the school community the very best for its very bright future. 

Best wishes,

 

Michelle McDermott

A Prayer at Exam Time

A Prayer at Exam Time

Lord, as I face into examination time

I turn once more to you, asking for your blessing and assistance.

I ask you to give me peace of mind with a strong sense of work at this time.

May I give myself space and time to revise and prepare to sit my examinations. 

Help me to keep focused on this task and not get too distracted by other aspects of my life.

Keep me from getting into a panic and help me to do justice to all my work and preparations.

On the days of my examinations, keep me calm, help me to think clearly,

and understand what I’m being asked, and so to recall the study and work that I have put in this past year.

Above all, Lord, I ask that you will allow my efforts to bring about the life you have planned for me.

May I be open to your vision of what you wish for me and may I accomplish this now and in my future life.

Amen.

Please find attached our mock exam timetable for 3rd year students along with guidelines for attendance during the mocks. It is important that the guidelines are followed to ensure a valuable experience for all students.  Please note the start date of Friday 3rd February.

 

The exams will take place in the gym.  Despite our best efforts to heat the gym, it may feel colder than in classrooms so students should layer up under the uniform to ensure they are comfortable.  

 

Thank you to those who have paid the mock exam charge.  If you haven't yet paid the charge, please do so before Thursday 2nd February.  The fee covers the cost of the exam papers and correction.

 

Wishing all our Junior Cert students the best as they prepare for and sit their Mocks over the coming days and weeks.  Go n-eirí an t-ádh leo go léir.
