Parents and guardians, please check TYRO, our school app. A lot of information was sent out today. A letter containing important information about the new Junior Cycle Book Scheme and how it will work for students in St Joseph’s was sent to all parents and guardians of incoming 1st Years (by email) and to parents and guardians of students starting in 2nd and 3rd Year in the next academic year. The letter details the books, workbooks, classroom materials, exam papers, stationery and copies we will be purchasing for your child and how the scheme will work. Parents and guardians of students starting into TY received a letter about books too. A further letter was sent to all parents and guardians with information about next year and a summary of some of our highlights since Christmas in St Joseph’s - BT Young Scientist, our ‘Let’s Read’ programme, our immersion programme in Uganda with Aidlink, our 2nd Year language trip to Madrid and Salamanca, our Jigsaw, Pieta House and CFES School of Distinction awards, TY work experience programme in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, TY trip to Barcelona, 5th Years walking El Camino de Santiago, SciFest, our Leinster Cricket champions, our Ember Team, our visitors from Germany, Emmanuel, Gaisce, three of our teachers becoming authors in 2024, our 2nd Year Scholars Ireland programme with Trinity, Green Schools and our European Parliament Ambassador programme. It’s worth a read to hear about just some of the programmes and activities that your child has been involved in or what they can look forward to! It’s all on TYRO!
