Congratulations to all our students on a very successful year. Read about all our success in the past year here (click link). We especially congratulate our leaving cert students and wish them well as they progress to university, further education and the world of work. Thank you to you, our parents, for all your support over the year. Special thanks to the Parents Association and to the PA Policy sub-group.
The following are links to pages on our website that may be useful for parents over the summer or planning for September 2024.

If you have old school uniform we would be very grateful if you would donate it to the school (just drop it in to the school office). We are always happy to discretely redistribute uniform.

TY students wear the PE uniform only, for the TY year.

Reminders
As we begin a new school year we ask parents to note the following please
Students leaving school during the day
- If a student is being collected during the day, please send a note to the year head in advance
- If a student needs to be collected in an emergency please contact the school office
- Students are not permitted to use their phones so if they are sick and need to contact you, they may do so through the school office.
Phones in school
Students should have digital devices (ipads, laptops/chrome books etc). Phones should be turned off, in lockers and not be seen during the school day. In consultation with the student and parent council we are operating a strict phone free zone for students.
Parking and exiting the school
Please do not park on footpaths. Please exit the school at the far entrance (near TUS) and use the roundabout to filter back to the town if necessary. This will keep traffic flow steady.
Code of behavior
The code of behavior was recently updated and the new version is at Code of Behaviour – March 2024 – Thanks to the Parents Association reps for their input on this.
