Best wishes to the Leaving Cert class of 2020 who will receive their Calculated grades on Monday at 9:00 am via the Student Portal. It is extremely unfortunate that we cannot be with you on Monday to celebrate your achievements as a group.
We understand results time can be a difficult time for students and if any of last years Leaving Certs would like to meet with any of our team for support, please ring the office and we will call you back or organise a time for you to call into the school. Ms Scarry (Guidance Counsellor), Ms Clesham (Chaplain), Ms Doyle (Yearhead), Ms Griffiths or myself will be available to call you back or meet in person if necessary. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we cannot allow visitors to the school without having arranged a meeting first.
Last years Leaving Cert students who are attending the school for a scheduled visit will also be required to respect physical distancing requirements and to behave in a responsible way, in line with public health advice and the school’s visitor policy. Gathering large groups of students in one venue is not recommended at this time.

They include a mystery plane landing in Lissybroder Dunmore in 1962, the murder of Thomas McEver in May 1921, a student’s great grandfather in the IRA. A family letter from Private James Quinn from Darrary, Dunmore and our student who came third place in the overall competition whose essay is called Trailblazing Tinkers. Normally there is an annual launch for JOTS but due to COVID restrictions, this cannot take place. Amazingly this edition has over 120 pages. Eurospar in Dunmore will be selling the JOTS magazine. We hope you enjoy our students work!
. Working with Stephen Murray via zoom made the workshop interesting and challenging and has hopefully highlighted to them the importance of developing their online communication skills. For further information please see www.inspireland.ie
