Tomorrow, our school will hand out two certificates to the girls who completed their Junior Cycle exams in June 2023. (Current TYs and some 5th Years).
The Junior Cycle Profile or Achievement and the Other Areas of Learning certificates supplement the results script that the girls received earlier this academic year.
The girls achieved excellent results in their CBAs and in their involvement in other activities and learning and we are excited for them to be able to have it recognised and certificated.
These certs will be handed out in school during the last class tomorrow and some nice group photos will be taken.
Well done girls!

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Each year the Inspectorate of the Department of Education carries out a comprehensive programme of inspection in schools. It will conduct a Child Protection and Safeguarding Inspection (CPSI) in your child’s school today and tomorrow.
What is a CPSI?
A CPSI is an inspection of the implementation of the Child Protection Procedures for Primary and Post-Primary Schools 2017. You can access a guide to CPSI inspection at:
https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/f2c70a-child-protection-and-safeguarding-inspections/

You are invited to complete an online survey. The Inspectorate values your views on issues such as the climate in the school, how you and your child feel about school, and your awareness of the school’s child protection procedures, including its anti-bullying procedures; these are an important part of a CPSI.
The survey may be accessed by clicking on the following link:

Your school roll number is: 62990Q
The deadline for completion of the survey is 9.00 a.m. on Tuesday 30th January 2024.
