Congratulations to the class of 2023 as they celebrate their Debs. It was lovely to see them in school this evening for the reception and they all looked wonderful - what style! Wishing them all great happiness and success in the future. 

Best of luck to all Transition Year students as they begin work experience tomorrow, Wednesday, 27th September. We wish them every success in their first placement.

Congratulations to Eva Kirwan and Kate Kobashi Harford (Class of 2022) who were presented with All Ireland Scholarships in University of Limerick yesterday. These scholarships are awarded based on their superb LC results. We wish them well with their studies. Comhghairdeachas.

The Dept of Education has announced that Junior Cycle results will be made available to students on Wednesday 18th October 2023. They will be sent to the schools and will be presented to pupils on the day. They will be available online from 4pm on that date. We wish all our students who sat the Junior Cycle examinations in the summer the very best of luck. Thank you. 

Gaisce – Bronze Award 

Any TY or 5th year student who would like to do their Bronze Gaisce award this year must hand in their signed permission slip before they sign up online and start their activities. See Ms. Earwaker if you have not yet got a permission letter. 

We would appreciate if you could discuss road safety matters with your child. There is currently a lot of construction traffic on Wynnefield Rd where a hotel is being built. As a result, the access roads to the school have a lot of parked large vans and construction traffic which can impede visuals for pedestrians. Some students are crossing roads whilst using their phones, or have their head phones on and are unaware of approaching traffic. Some cyclists are also not observing other traffic on the road and are arriving in to school without helmets. It is really important that students follow official road safety advice. We ask you to discuss this very serious safety issue with your child. We do not have the facility to store electric scooters in school and do not advise that students travel to school on scooters. 

We would appreciate your cooperation and support in this regard for the safety of all. Thank you.

In the run up to Easter we held a series of ceremonies Cuimhní is Ceiliúradh San Lughaidh to reflect on the effect of the past two years on all our lives. This was supported by the Irish Hospice Foundation Seeds Grant and the Government of Ireland. Please click on the link here to view some images and a video which outlines the various activities the school community engaged with during this period. Well done to all students and staff who were involved and special thanks to Ms Kehoe, Ms Howard and Ms Madden. https://hospicefoundation.ie/our-supports-services/ihf-in-the-community/arts-and-creativity/seeds-grants-2022/reflections-at-st-louis-high-school-dublin/
