Message re Racism

Here in Taylor's, we are given many opportunities to be proud of our girls and this week we were provided with one more. Acting on an email signed by many of our students, we had a wonderful meeting with a representative group of students who outlined what they feel the school can do to ensure we are fully supporting the fight against racism. We also discussed ways in which we can endeavour to continually ensure that racism has no place within the walls of Dominican College, and ways in which we can educate and inform all members of our school community in these matters. The Board of Management intends taking on board a number of the girls’ suggestions. The young women we met with were organised, eloquent, articulate and a credit to our school. We thank them for reminding us that we can never stop striving for our school to be the best it can be, supporting all our students equally. The Board of Management, in keeping with the school’s Christian and inclusive ethos, is proud to support the struggle to end all forms of racism and to stand with our students who seek this end.

As you know, we are currently planning for the school to re-open over the coming weeks. We are putting in place a plan for online learning should it become necessary to close the school at any stage and return to online tuition. We are holding a meeting next Monday (24th August) at 11:30am in the school for any students who would like to have an input into this. All students have experience of online learning and it is important that we learn from your experience about what works and what does not work for you. Any future online learning will only work if it takes into account the perspectives of students, teachers and parents as well as overall best practice and guidance in relation to online learning. If any students would like to take part in this planning discussion, please email covidplanning@taylorshill.ie before 1pm on Friday 21st August. Due to social distancing, we will have to restrict numbers to 24 students. If we have more requests than places available, we will randomly select students from each year group. All students who express an interest in attending this meeting will be emailed on Friday afternoon. Parental input will also be sought through the Parents’ Council.
