Dear parents,

I hope that you are all keeping safe and well.

Given that there are boys who are unable to attend school at the moment, I have started to add work which can be completed at home to the homework section on Aladdin. I have just posted today’s work and I will post tomorrow’s work early in the morning. You can do the work at your own convenience and please do not feel under any pressure to complete it. Whatever you can manage to do, will be fine. Thank you. 
 

Given these unprecedented times, I would urge all parents to be extra vigilant in ensuring that their children are not attending school if they are showing any symptoms at all of Covid 19. These symptoms are clearly outlined on the HSE website. It is up to each individual to act responsibly and accordingly in order to protect those in our school community. 

Kind regards, 

Peter Murphy. 

Hello all,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Our Parent Teacher Meetings are being held between 1:30 and 3:30 tomorrow. Given that there are 28 boys in the class, it will be very difficult to ring every parent within this window. I may have to ring some parents after half 3 tomorrow, or possibly on another evening after school. But hopefully I will get them all done tomorrow. I apologise for any inconvenience and I will do my best to ring everybody tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Peter Murphy.
