State Exams

The Easter break is time to gain ground ahead of June’s State exams, but not to the point of burnout, says Aileen Lee of the Irish Examiner. For the parents of students sitting the Junior or Leaving Certificates, the Easter break carries the pressure of what can realistically be achieved study-wise.

During the break, students can get ahead with their study and get into a better mind-frame for their State exams in June, but only so much can be done in two weeks..….

Excellent article in last weeks Irish Examiner that might interest our Exam Students – https://www.irishexaminer.com/…/how-to-be-smart-about-study…

A sincere thank you!

A sincere thank you to all the student volunteers involved in the spring tidy up at the poly tunnel on Friday. Great headway was made in clearing the ground and covering to rot away the underlying growth to make way for grass seed and maybe a raised bed or two.

A very knowledgeable and hard working group of students whose help and advice has been invaluable. The compost project has also started! Some Green Schools / Poly tunnel volunteers were hard at work installing a compost bin. They will be helping all of us to learn what can be composted and what cannot. Look out for their posters in the staffroom and around the school.

Thank you for your hard work and we look forward to being educated by the students! Ms Cawley.

Not Our Day

Sadly today wasn't our day, but credit must be given to our senior girls football team who put up a great fight in the All Ireland Semi Final. They worked so hard to get to this point and should be rightly proud of their achievements.

They may have lost today but we are very proud of this bunch of young ladies. They represented themselves, their families and our school in an exemplary way. Thanks to the management team of Mr. J Dolan, Ms Gordon and Mr McGhee who worked so hard with them.

Thanks also to everyone who helped and traveled today to support the team.
