Mid-term break 

The school will close this evening for a well-earned mid-term break.

Industrial action

As of today, members of the Association of Secondary Teachers, Ireland (ASTI) have indicated that they will be on strike on Thursday, 27 October 2017 as they are in dispute at a national level with the Department of Education and Skills. Should this strike proceed, the school will be closed to students on the day in question.

Students’ Council

The Students’ Council is very active already this year. Members have had their “bonding day” as well as a series of meetings with the liaison teacher, Ms. J. Byrne. They will shortly participate in the annual Comhairle na nÓg and will travel to Dublin next week to join council members from other Loreto schools nationwide in a special training day.
