At assembly today, we reiterated that the Republic of Ireland is currently not directly affected by the Coronavirus. We did however still review best practice for hygiene at school e.g. sneezing, coughing and hand washing. We continue to deal with this matter in a calm and positive manner, especially considering the age demographic of our students. Our school life is continuing in our usual positive way.
The 'WHO' document (PDF) below outlines how parents/guardians can support their child during this time. Such suggestions can also be applicable during any stressful time for your child e.g. during a time of upset, illness or loss.

We wish everyone a pleasant weekend.
