Notes for Absences and Illnesses

All appointments must be made outside of school time in so far as possible. The school office cannot interrupt class by using the intercom during class time. There will be space in the back of the school journal for parents/guardians to write a note for a student to leave school at an agreed time in the case of an appointment. A copy of this note should be given to the school office before 8:45am so that it can be recorded on SIMS.

It is the student’s responsibility to be at the office at the agreed time as she will not be called over the intercom. If a student has been absent from school, a parent/guardian must give them a note explaining their absence. This note should be given to the school office before 8:45am on the day of their return.

Lunchtime

Lunchtime 1st and 2nd year students remain in school during lunchtime.


Mobile Phone Policy

Our Mobile Phone Policy has been reviewed by our Student Council in April/May and it will be reviewed by our Parents Council in August. When it has been approved by the Board of Management, a copy will be sent to all parents.

In short, our policy aims to prevent student use of mobile phones during the school day to ensure that all students socially engage with their peers, especially during lunchtime. Parents/guardians are reminded that they may not contact students on mobile phones during school time. All phone calls can be made through the school office if necessary. This is a very important school rule.
