Most school closures are set by the Department of Education and Science and are standardised throughout the country.

These are:

  • Halloween Break
  • Christmas
  • Easter Holidays

 

The mid-term break in February can either be a two-day or a five-day break and in any school year there may be some flexible days.  School holidays and any other school closures are ratified by our Board of Management and the dates of these school closures are conveyed to families as soon as they become available.

A message on Seesaw or a note is needed in cases of absence, when a child is late for school, or for permission to leave the school before the end of the school day.
In general, any special request should be put in writing or posted as a message on Seesaw.
