Dear Parent/Guardian,

We are currently reviewing our school's purpose and mission.

It is important that we get input from students, parents, staff, and other stakeholders on this.

With that in mind, we are asking all parents to take 2-3 minutes to complete the very brief survey at this link: https://forms.gle/GCEVousNwwvYGVoN7

The application information for the courses can be found here.

TY and 5th Year students have received a letter today regarding the Planet Youth survey that will be conducted with students in all Galway, Mayo and Roscommon  schools. The information collected will be used to inform efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of young people in our communities.

Students will be invited to complete an anonymous online survey that includes questions about their lifestyles, behaviours and health. The survey will take about 50 minutes and will be completed in a classroom setting.

The Planet Youth Survey is an important study that the school participates in every two years. If though, for any reason, you do not wish your child to participate in the survey, please complete the form included with the letter and return it to the office before Friday. 

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Planet Youth is hosting a free webinar on Thursday the 14th of November at 8pm entitled What’s in your Vape?. 

The webinar will look at the current levels of vaping in our region among young people, the risks involved to our children’s health, how it compares to cigarette use, and how other legal and illegal substances such as HHC or THC may also be involved.

You can register for this free webinar using this link: https://bit.ly/4fGhxHA

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Planet Youth is hosting a free webinar for parents on Wednesday the 13th of November at 7pm on The Importance of Sleep for our Teenagers. 

The main speaker is Lucy Wolfe and she will be giving some information and guidance around this topic. 

Lucy is best known for the books she has written on sleep for young children, but she has prepared some very useful material specifically for the parents of teenagers.

REMINDER: The 5th Year parent-teacher meeting will take place on Wednesday 8th January from 4:10pm until 6:10pm.

For the safety of all students and staff, boiling water will not be provided for preparing noodles or similar snacks in school.

Carrying hot items poses a risk in a busy school environment.

We kindly ask that students not bring such items to school.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
