Seesaw for Parents Webinar

 Dear Principal,

We are delighted to announce a repeat Seesaw for Parents webinar on Thursday 24th of September from 8.30 -9.30pm. We received extremely positive feedback from our first parent webinar last week with over 400 parents in attendance. 

We would be very grateful if you could let the parents in your school know about this upcoming webinar. Registration details are in this link   

Kind Regards,

Le Chéile Online Learning Team

Club Na Mara Afterschool Club

We are currently trying to establish the feasibility of reopening our Afterschool Club in September 2020. Our plan is to continue the hour of Afterschool for the Junior Classes from 1.30pm to 2.30pm.  

We will extend our Homework Club to 5pm and we will be charging a daily rate per child. We will no longer be offering an hourly drop-in service. Between 2.30pm and 5pm, a daily charge will apply regardless of pick up times earlier than 5pm.

Places will be very limited so please contact me at kinsaletrish@yahoo.ie as soon as possible with your inquiries.

Míle buíochas

Message from Consultant Respiratory Paediatrician at Cork University Hospital 13 March 2020

"I hope you all stay safe during this difficult time. The children will get through this no problem. Pediatric hospitals are empty in Italy at present after 3 weeks of school closure as the usual viruses stopped circulating. Remember with corona children are vectors, not victims. In most epidemics, young children are the transmitters. Therefore for school closure to be effective, it’s really important that the kids aren’t mixing with other kids while out of school. They will give it to each other silently pass it on to our loved ones. What we do now will contribute to how this develops in Cork. Avoid situations that the children will interact. If the community responds to this it will shut it down more than anything we do in the hospital. From my experiences in the hospital this last week I would say that coronavirus is closer to all of us than we realise and the degrees of separation for all of us is getting narrower. I’m not that good at social media but if this could be shared as widely as possible with parents in Cork it will help."
