Dear Parent / Guardian

The Junior Cycle exams will begin next Wednesday, and there are a few important points for your son/daughter.

If your son/daughter has Reasonable Accommodation granted (a special centre), he/she must come to school at 11 AM on Tuesday to meet the supervisor of their special centre.

For Wednesday 4th June students MUST be ready in school at 9AM.

The examiners will have a lot of paperwork and need to sign in students from that time.

For all exams students need to wear their school uniform.

We recommend that students leave their phone at home.  Students will not be allowed to bring a phone or a smartwatch/fitness tracker into the exam hall.

If a phone is seen in the exam hall, it may be confiscated by the examiner, and the student’s exam may be cancelled.

For all exams, students are responsible to bring their materials:

• Blue or Black biros
• Pencil or colours for technical subjects
• Calculator for maths

Students should stay for the duration of each of their exams so as to ensure that they attempt all questions.

For the coming few days, keep up a regular routine of study, and ensure that your son/daughter gets enough sleep.

Wishing all of our students the very best for their exams,

We are currently conducting a survey of students, parents, and teachers.

The surveys are designed to find out how much our community knows regarding bullying. What it is, what our policy is, and how to address it in a healthy manner.
