SCHOOL RE-OPENING (Updated on: 4th March 2018)
To all parents, guardians, students, and members of staff,
​
Following a health and safety check of the school grounds, entrances and exits and pathways between the school buildings, and following some minor  exterior damage it is not safe to open the school tomorrow for students and staff. The height and impacted nature of the snow drifts means we have to engage a mechanical digger / JCB to clear the large levels of snow and ice. This has been arranged for tomorrow morning.

Volunteers needed
We call upon our students and parents if you can assist us tomorrow morning from 10.00am to clear the access areas in advance of the digger coming in, your assistance will be gratefully appreciated. Please bring a spade or snow shovel. Thank you.

It is our aim to clear the snow tomorrow with a view to opening on Tuesday morning for a normal school day. The scheduled second year retreat will not go ahead and we have postponed the Senior Subjects Choice Information Meeting to Tuesday 13th March.
Our In-coming 1st Year Information Meeting will go ahead on Thursday as well as the exams on Saturday 10th.
We fully appreciate that all parents,students and staff are anxious to return to school and normality, but given the nature of the snow drifts it is not safe nor feasible to open tomorrow.

​We thank you for your understanding on this.
Ms.Brenda Kearns, Principal
