School Uniform

2023/05/10 07:30:29

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s), Firstly, thank you for your positive and constructive feedback from the Code of Behaviour Survey. The improvement of the school uniform was a notable theme amongst Parents and the need to have a common/related school jacket was also very evident. I am aware that Parents have the burden of providing labelled jackets for their daughter that can cost in excess of €250/€300 in some cases. It was also noted that some students feel pressurised to present in similiar labelled clothing. With that in mind, from next September onwards, all students will be required to wear a school jacket. We have contacted our school jacket supplier Soloform who currently supply Shaws with a crested laser jacket that be purchased in store. Soloform can also provide a non-crested College jacket online also at a reduced price. Both jackets are vey resonably priced, warm and comfortable. The students will have the opportunity to be fitted today and the Soloform shop will be open until the end of May to guarantee delivery of Jackets for the commencement of the new year. All students will be given details in their journal today of sizes and QR Code for website etc. I would like to thank you for your support in this matter. Kindest regards James Collins Principal

They can be contacted at 061-307249/ info@sohockey.com or visit their shop in Raheen for recommended fittings and sizes.

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s), Our school has been selected for participation in the Department of Education survey of principals/teachers, parents, and pupils/students. The purpose of each survey is to gather a range of perspectives on the work of schools to prevent and tackle bullying. Each survey is completely anonymous. I have made the Inspectorate aware that Parent(s)/Guardian(s) have recently completed a Code of Behaviour survey and I am consious of survey overload. The Inspectorate is happy that our school will only complete the principal/teacher and pupils/students survey. The survey is a short online task and will just take a few minutes to complete. Please arrange for your child/children to complete it at home. The survey will remain open until Tuesday 9 May.
