School App Payments
On return to school students will be asked to pay €70 to cover the cost of locker rental, 24-hour student insurance, the school app fees, photocopying/printing expenses, and Studyclix, Payments should be made via the school app no later than Friday 6th September please. If possible, please print the payment receipt which can be given to your son/daughter’s class tutor. As always, if you have any difficulties in relation to this or any other school payment, please do not hesitate to contact us via the school office.
PLEASE NOTE – Incoming 1st Years do not need to make this payment as this has been included in the start-up amount of €120 previously notified.
As you are aware the school app is also used as a communication tool to send messages and to keep parents and students informed of school events and news. In order to receive relevant updates please ensure you have enabled ‘push notifications’ and that you have registered your son/daughter’s year group. Since there are no additional charges for ‘push notifications’ (app messages) we hope to be able to significantly reduce our SMS costs by moving exclusively to app notifications. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office or the in-app help desk if you are encountering difficulties with app payments/usage.

Summer Letter – 17th June 2024
As your sons/daughters prepare to return to school we ask that you re-visit and discuss the contents of our summer letter dated 17th June, in particular the expectations in relation to behaviour, uniform, devices etc.
Concerns, Queries & Achievements
For some students, returning to school after the summer break can be a challenging time. We ask you to remind your son/daughter that there are many members of staff available to talk about any problems they encounter, no matter how big or how small. We would also like to take this opportunity to remind parents that we are at the end of the phone if you have any concerns or queries about your son/daughter’s progress and/or wellbeing.
We are exceptionally proud of each and every one of our students. We love to hear about students’ achievements and accomplishments outside of school. Please encourage your son/daughter to inform us of any significant achievements/accomplishments, in order that we too can acknowledge them (privately if preferred). Alternatively, you can let us know about their accomplishments by phoning or emailing the school office.
Thank you once again for your continued support and cooperation. We hope you enjoy the remaining few weeks of the summer holidays, and we look forward to welcoming your sons/daughters back to school during the week.

The school has significantly subsidised the cost of the polo shirt for the past number of years. As this is no longer feasible the school polo shirt will now cost €38.
The polo shirts students currently have can of course continue to be worn, but replacements when/if required must be purchased through the O'Neills website.
There are a range of school crested items available to purchase on www.oneills.com but please note that the PE polo shirt (Synergy Polo Shirt) is the only compulsory item.
If you have any difficulties relating to this or any other school item/expense, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
