Message for 1st Year students & parents/guardians

We very much look forward to welcoming our new 1st Years tomorrow (8.30 – 11.30am) for what will be the start of a very exciting new chapter in their education. As restrictions are in place on the school campus, we would ask that the following entrance protocols be adhered to tomorrow morning.
1. We are asking that students, where possible and practical, walk to school or cycle to school. In the case that it is not possible and practical and parents are dropping students off by car, then a set down only facility will be in place inside the front gate. There will be no parking. Parents are asked not to get out of their vehicles. Parents should also be aware that there are strict visitor protocols in place with advance appointments required to enter the building.
2. Students should make their way to the Sports Hall and enter through the main door. Staff will be on hand to inform the students where to go.
3. Students will then sign in, pick up their journals and be escorted to their base rooms, in small pods, by a member of our 6th Year Leadership Team.
4. Students do not need to bring in any books or copies, however, students should bring in a pen to write in their new journals.
5. Students should bring a snack for break time and a small bag to bring food waste home.
6. Students should observe the hand hygiene protocols, sanitise and wear a face covering/mask.
7. Students should also bring a Ziploc bag to place their face covering/mask into when not in use.
Once the students arrive in their base room they will be welcomed by their Year Team and the beginning of the induction programme will begin. All staff and students of Our Lady’s wish our new 1st Years the very best for the year ahead!
