• Junior Certificate: https://extra.ie/2020/04/25/news/irish-news/junior-cert-plans-for-september-to-be-moved-forward-to-may

Please see article above. In the event that assessment is brought forward our teachers are preparing for 3^rd year assessments as a precaution. Students are encouraged to keep focused and revising. We await further clarifications from DES expected later this week.

• For all year groups (except 6^th years) no new coursework will be covered from May 5^th. We encourage all students to revise for the last term in preparation for end of year assessments (on-line) which are planned for May 12^th- 29^th.
• School wise spent Easter break resolving technical issues and updating software. There should be few if any technical glitches moving forward. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
