• A plain black tracksuit is allowed the day students have PE but not a black tracksuit with stripes or logos.
• Only a plain black trouser is allowed in our school – no leggings, Lounge pants etc.
•  I hope that you can support us on these matters as we strive to improve standards of our uniform.
• If at any stage you wish to order a school uniform or pay for a school uniform please contact: The Schoolwear Centre, Centrepoint, Liosban Estate, Tuam Road, Galway. Tel: 091 755515 

• As always, if a student receives 3 incident sheets he/she will be placed on detention.
• Detention will take two lunch time periods from 12.55-1.20 (10 mins for lunch) in the one week. This is 1hour 10 mins of detention in total. Students who are placed on lunch time detention need to bring a lunch as they will not be allowed to the shop. · 12 Incident sheets will lead to an automatic 2 day suspension.
• Incident sheets are carried forward from one term to the next

• Reports on student attendance are sent to the National Education Welfare Board throughout the year. If a student is absent for more than 20 days the matter is investigated and a Welfare officer may call to your home. It is your duty to ensure that each child in your care gets a full education.
• If a student is absent a note explaining their absence should be given to Principal or Deputy Principal the following day(s).
• Appointments whether dental or medical should be scheduled outside of school time where possible.
• Any students who are absent or away on a school activity e.g. football match are still expected to get the homework off a friend – social media can be used positively here.

• It is vital that students arrive at school on time as it is extremely disruptive to classes when students arrive late. Any student arriving late must sign in.
• Also, if a student is leaving school early they must have a note or alternatively get picked up at the school (not the Spar). Students must at all times sign out. This is hugely important for insurance purposes. Please try to ensure that doctor, dental and other appointments are scheduled during weekends and holidays where possible.

• If a student is feeling sick or unwell they may be allowed the opportunity to sit out one class in the main office reception area.
• If they are still unwell after one 35 minute class they must be collected as we do not have the resources to care for sick students after this time.
