Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Back to the 80s” who opened to a large audience on their first night. This is a show not to be missed! A limited number of tickets are available for Thursday night 1st December at the school office.

With just over 5 hours remaining to our first live performance of Back to the 80’s we would like to bring the following to your attention:
The small number of remaining tickets for tonight and tomorrow night can be purchased by ringing the office. There may be a limited number on the door but this cannot be guaranteed.
Car Parking is at a premium so perhaps park in the town and walk in – entrance to the building is through the side door , not the usual main entrance.
Please bring coins for any purchases you may wish to make while attending the performance.
Seating is allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please be vigilant when taking your seats to avoid trips/falls. Doors open at 7:30pm.
There will be a 20 minute interval between the two one hour Acts

We look forward to welcoming all our patrons over the next four nights and we wish the very best of luck to our talented crew and cast.

Parents are reminded that the deadline for submission of preferences for the Parent Teacher Meeting on 8th December rota is this Thursday at 8.00 p.m. (ideally, this should be done tonight). It should just take a minute or so to complete. Currently, there is a large number of parents/guardians/carers who have yet to submit their preferences. We hope to be able to generate the rotas for distribution at Tutor Class this Friday.

Go to www.ptmorg.com and login using the Scholl Roll Number and the password given to the student at last week’s Tutor Class. The instruction sheet is attached here again for your convenience.

Please contact the school office on 046 9487894 if you need any assistance with this process.

Thank you,

Anthony Leavy

Today the TY students took a few hours out of their busy rehearsals to win 2nd, 3rd and 4th Place at the MEW Student Enterprise Final and Best overall Sustainable Business Award. The winning groups Tote Cycle, Memory Pillow and Home Alone received over €450 to invest in their businesses. The Awards were presented by Irish Entrepreneur Gavin Duffy. The purpose of the competition is to encourage and reward entrepreneurial creativity, innovation and participation amongst the youth of Meath while also providing a platform for aspiring young entrepreneurs to engage with and learn from leading entrepreneurs and businesses from across the region. Now ‘It’s Back to the 80’s for our very own entrepreneurs.

This year’s Parent Teacher Meeting for Leaving Cert/Leaving Cert Applied on Thursday 8th December will take place mainly online using the student’s Teams account. Parents will be asked to login to an App where they can indicate the teachers with whom they wish to meet. Each meeting will be strictly five minutes maximum in length. The meetings will time out after five minutes. Parents/Guardians/Carers who wish to meet the teacher in school at the appointed time should contact the school office in advance so that this can be facilitated.

To login you will need the School Roll Number and a password which will be issued to on Friday 25th November. All preferences should be entered on or before Thursday 1st December. A rota for the meetings will then be generated and distributed to parents via the pupils on Friday 2nd December. Parents/Guardians/Carer who are unable to attend the meeting are asked to indicate this when they login to the app.

It is hoped to cluster the meetings for parents/guardians to a block of time, with intervals of five minutes between each meeting where possible. In order to make the timetabled meetings as user friendly as possible, only examination subjects will be included initially. However, parents/guardians will be able to request meetings with the Religious Education, Physical Education (non examination), Remedial and Guidance Teachers; and also the Year Heads and Chaplain, by contacting them directly.
The meetings will be held using the student’s Teams account at the times indicated on the rota. Details of this procedure are available on the attached document. A similar version will be distributed to the students on Friday 25th November which will also have their Student ID.

Parents/Guardians/Carers are asked to go to https://ptmorg.com/parentlogin.php?School=91517D where you can enter the School Roll Number 91517D and the Student ID (as on the sheet given to the students)

Please follow the instructions on the sheet (attached/given to the students) to enter the preferences for the appointments or indicate that you are unable to attend the meeting.
