Reminder: Parents, please make sure to complete our short survey about Extra Curricular Activities. Maybe have a chat with your children about the activities they've done this year and complete it together? It should only take a couple of minutes and it will help us to ensure a great programme of activities. Just go to this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WBJPMT9

Reminder: Information Evening on an Educate Together Second Level School for Dublin South City : Tuesday 31st May at 8.00pm in Wesley Hall, Leeson Park, Dublin 6

From the Patron:

During 2016 the Executive Committee began to examine their role in relation to the ethos of the school. We talked to other schools in the sector who are similar to RMDS in terms of patronage and to Educate Together.

Based on this, a review of the ethos is now planned to commence in September 2016 using the School Self Evaluation process. This will include surveys and workshops for all members of the school community. This will be a great opportunity to understand how the principles of Educate Together are implemented and experienced by all of our school community.

Please contact Niamh Skelly, via the school office if you are interested in joining the working group for this project.
