All Junior Cycle Students have the option of participating in the School book retail Scheme. If your son is participating in the scheme, required books have been provided under this scheme. Workbooks are not included in the Book Retail Scheme and will have be purchased where required.

We would appreciate the assistance of parents in maintaining the books. Please refer to the attached book list to help you keep track of your son’s books.

 All Senior Cycle Students are required to purchase their own textbooks, workbooks and other equipment.  However we do urge students to cover  and maintain their books as they are very expensive, and a well maintained book may have a good resale value.

Copybooks

 As part of the school’s Covid-19 risk assessment it was identified that it would be extremely difficult to maintain the required social distancing with students gathering at lockers at various times during school day.

Consequently the school will not be providing lockers for the coming school year.

In order to reduce the weight of school bags we have been looking at ways to reduce the number of copybooks required.

 We are suggesting that students just bring an ring binder and an A4 refill pad with a supply of poly pockets instead of using copy books of each subject.  Alternatively students could purchase ‘ A4 pukka pads’ or similar, which are available in Tesco or Lidi.

 Teachers will endeavour to that students will only have to bring the minimum number of textbooks each day.
