Senior Stuff!
Spanish in St. Mary's
Mr. Kieran's and Ms. Quinn’s 5th classes have been heading over to our local secondary school, St. Mary’s, learning lots of new Spanish vocabulary and phrases in classes. The girls have really enjoyed immersing themselves in a new language and have learned so much over the four weeks. We are so appreciative to St. Mary’s and all their kind staff and transition year students for taking the time out to educate the girls in a new subject and for making them all feel so welcome.
Phones
Although as an educational body we strongly advise against getting your child a mobile phone for Christmas, whereby students will be getting phones we encourage parents to take time to engage with the content on Webwise.
Please also note, as per our updated mobile phone policy, students who need to bring their phone into school must first request permission in writing from the Chairperson. Notes can be given into Paula. Failure to request permission can result in the child's phone being confiscated until collected by a parent.
