School Uniform
2023/05/10 07:30:29
<p>Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I would like to thank you for your support in this matter.</p> <p>Kindest regards</p> <p>James Collins</p> <p>Principal</p> <p> </p>
Ordering of PE Uniform
2023/05/09 17:45:23
<p>Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),</p> <p>I have been in contact with our PE Uniform supplier Sohockey and they have been informed me that there are a number of outstanding orders to be made for incoming 1st Year students. In order to guarantee supply of uniform for the commencement of school, Sohockey have provided the school with a cut-off date of Friday 19th May.</p> <p>The shop have noted that payment does not need to be paid in full, a €10 deposit will suffice to order the uniform. Furthermore, Sohockey hope to have all uniform packaged with names etc by the end of July for collection in their shop in Ballycummin, Raheen. They can be contacted at 061-307249/ info@sohockey.com or visit their shop in Raheen for recommended fittings and sizes.</p> <p>A gentle reminder that Gemma's School Specialist will close at the nend of season. Gemma will fully support all students and parents for September 2023.</p> <p>Kindest regards</p> <p>James Collins</p> <p>Principal</p> <p> </p>
