Welcome back to all our parents and guardians for our second school term of the year. The days are drawing closer and this term is a little shorter than the last.
I am pleased to be able to announce that the school will be able to offer first and second year students a homework club on Mondays and Wednesdays starting next week.It is free of charge and we would encourage you to send your children as a teacher will be on hand to help students if they are having any difficulties. Further information will be sent out on the app tomorrow.
There was a very good turn out for the Parents Association meeting on Thursday the 26nd of October. They have planned the AGM for the end of November, watch this space for further information.
Any parents who missed the last two PTMs are welcome to catch up with teachers at the third year parent teacher meeting on Wednesday at 4.15pm-6.45pm
