Covid 19 Update

“Unfortunately we have just been informed that a further two members of our school community has received a positive test result for Covid 19.  We have already been in contact with all families where their child has had direct contact with this individual. If we have not been in contact with you, your child should come to school as normal, provided they are showing no symptoms of Covid 19 (as outlined by PHA). As a school we are following PHA advice and guidance., and a letter will be issued from HSC to offer further information and advice. We wish to reassure parents/pupils and the wider school community that every precaution has been taken to ensure everyone’s safety at this time.”

Dear Parent / Carer,

As you will be aware the NI Executive has announced that the mid-term break for schools and other education settings will be extended from Monday 19^th October to Friday 30^th October (inclusive).

In a letter to schools, the Education Minister, Mr. Peter Weir, has stated that –

“Education settings will be closed to all pupils during these two weeks including for vulnerable children and children of key workers. Schools and other settings will reopen on Monday, 2 November. As this is an extension of the half-term break, it is not intended to be used for remote learning”.

Ardnashee School & College has provided a safe learning environment for all of our children and young people and we are disappointed that our term has been cut short with very little notice. However, we respect the NI Executive’s decision and support all measures that have been put in place to protect our community.

We look forward to welcoming our pupils back to school in the new term and thank all of you for your continued support and cooperation at this time.

Mr R. McFeeters (Principal)

Earlier in the year parents were given the option to have their child make their First Holy Communion, either at the Special Needs Mass or along with St Patricks Primary School. Because of Covid both of these events were postponed. St Patricks have now released their date (Friday 18th of September). However a date for the Special Needs Mass has not been set yet. We expect this date will be announced soon and will post the details on our website as soon as we have them.
