- The Board of Management would like to pay special acknowledgement to the entire school community for their forbearance at this difficult time and for their flexibility during this Covid-19 pandemic. The cooperation, patience, understanding and engagement of all with distance learning is praiseworthy. The Board praised the wonderful culture of care that is cultivated in the school to support students, their parents and staff during this pandemic, a culture that is reflective of the ethos and of the core values of the school. The Board prayed for the health and safety of the entire school community and for their immediate and extended families and they thanked everyone for the cooperative spirit that is very much in evidence.
- The Board are currently awaiting guidelines from the Department of Education and Skills and from the Health Service Executive regarding the return to school in the Autumn. The Board wish to reassure the school community that every effort will be made to follow the guidelines and to be as proactive as possible in protecting the health and safety of all.
- The Board praised the schools planning and efforts to mark the educational journey of students in Rang 6. The ‘fáinne airgid’, a hoodie and a certificate will be presented to all students at a time yet to be decided and with social distancing measures and restrictions fully observed. A simple video is being compiled with the input of the students. The Board thanked in particular the class teachers, múinteoirí Emer Uí hAodhagháin and Liam Ó Riain, the parents of students in Rang 6 and the students themselves, no doubt.
