Dear Parent/Guardian,
As we enter the final month of your son/daughter's journey at Skibbereen Community School, it's remarkable to reflect on the experiences and growth they've encountered during their time here.
The normal class timetable for Leaving Cert students will continue as scheduled up to May 22nd, with our final student assembly and graduation celebration. We're excited to announce that the 6th Year Graduation ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, May 22nd, from 2 to 4pm in the school sports hall. We warmly invite all parents/guardians to attend and celebrate this significant milestone with the class of 2024.
On Friday afternoon, May 17th, weather permitting, the School’s Pastoral Care Team have organised a “Beach Day” on the Warren Strand to mark the final school outing that this Year Group will have together. All students are encouraged to attend.
Beyond May 22nd, some teachers may schedule additional revision classes, and Skibbereen Community School will remain open as a study facility for 6th years, providing resources for those who wish to utilize them. We strongly encourage all students to attend lessons diligently as we approach the final weeks leading up to the Leaving Cert start date of June 5th.
After the exams have finished, the School has organised a “Book Sale” where Leaving Certs can sell their books, class notes, revision handbooks and materials to TY and 5th Year Students.
We've emphasized to the students the importance of concluding their time at Skibbereen Community School on a high note and to the best possible standard. They have been an outstanding year group, always collaborating with the staff, and we expect this to be reflected in their conduct as they finish the year.
Below you will find a PDF copy of the LC timetables and there's a link to an information video specifically designed for 6th Year students, providing guidance on the essential information to include on the front cover of their answer books and stationery, as well as the correct writing instruments to use during exams.
The State Examinations Commission (SEC) intends to issue the results of the 2024 Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied examinations to candidates on Friday, August 23rd.
Lastly, the 2024 digital edition of the Citizens Information Board’s School Leavers guide is now available. This guide is accessible in both English and Irish on the Citizens Information Board website.
Warm regards,
Mr. Anton O Mahony,
Principal,
Skibbereen Community School.
