Gaisce

Many thanks to all those who have returned form pertaining to Gaisce. However, please note the following:

There are students who still have not completed payment for the Gaisce programme; please log on to complete payment to complete the programme.
Some students have not returned forms, and thus I can not complete their award.
Those students who only registered from November on are incapable of officially completing the programme until 26 weeks have elapsed on the system, regardless of if work was completed for Gaisce before registration.
It takes 10 working days for Gaisce to process awards and to send out the paraphernalia relating to completing the programme.
We will recognise all those who have completed Gaisce on their graduation night. Those who have yet to receive a physical award will be granted their certs and prizes at a ceremony in September.

School Photographs

School photographs will take place Tues 14th and Wed 15th May. TY students who were unavailable for certain photos owing to be on placement on work experience will be caught up during these days. Please note, that owing to an extremely tight schedule for photos, in line with weather considerations, that punctuality, and above all else, flexibility, is needed from our TY students. Where interviews/exams are taking place, all efforts will be made to avoid clashes.
