Just a reminder that the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) closes at 18:00 this evening. After this the Accredited Grades information is “locked in” and no further changes are permitted. It is critical that all students confirm their subjects and levels. The portal helpdesk is open if there is any problem 1800 111135 or 1800 111136.

Just a reminder that the school is closed tomorrow Fri 30th April and Mon May 3rd. We hope everyone has a relaxing bank holiday weekend. Also just to note, it would be really helpful to the school and assist us in dealing quickly with Covid related incidents if parents/guardians were to inform us as soon as possible of any positive results. It just means we can act quickly and contact public health for a risk assessment rather than waiting for them to contact us. Please email helen.gormley@mounttemple.ie in confidence at any time.

Darkness Into Light 2021, will take place at Sunrise (5:37am) on the morning of 8th May. This year, as we cannot gather together at our usual Darkness Into Light venues, Pieta House are asking all their supporters to don their yellow t-shirts and take part at a location that suits them. Mount Temple’s 2nd Years have organised a “Share Your Sunrise Moment” fundraising event. We are asking as many people as possible to get up at Sunrise, take pictures of their “Sunrise Moment” and share them with us. Do wear your old Darkness Into Light t-shirts or something yellow if possible. You could choose to do a Sunrise walk or bike ride with your family, but simply getting up to greet the Sunrise with other members of the Mount Temple community would be really great. We’re also asking that you donate what you can via our GoFundMe page gf.me/u/zq3q2s or https://gofund.me/8e619bf3. All money raised goes directly to Pieta House. We hope you can support this worthy cause by joining the 2nd Years at Sunrise on 8th May and donating what you can.

Just to clarify for anyone named as a close contact of a confirmed case of Covid 19 (inside or outside school) . Once a negative test result is obtained on day 10 and the student is not displaying symptoms, they may return to school. Please complete the ‘Return to school after an Absence form’ on the App and email a screenshot of the negative test result to attendance@mounttemple.ie. Many thanks for your support with this. Thanks, Helen Gormley (If for some reason a student does not get tested, they must restrict their movements for 14days from the last date of contact)

LCA students recently completed their Hotel and Catering product task. They each baked a delicious product and designed their own unique packaging and label. Well done to all involved and a big thanks to SNA Margaret for all her help
