What's UP? 2016/17

Dear Parent/Guardian,

As you are aware by now the school has suffered an incredible loss with the tragic passing of our much loved student Lee Henry 2^nd Year. The staff and students have worked tirelessly with each other throughout this week to support, counsel and help come to terms with this awful news.

Lee’s funeral mass takes place at 11am on Friday morning in Darndale. As you might expect large numbers of students are wishing to attend. The school, at the request of the family will play some roles in the service.

Lee’s remains will be carried from the home to the church and students have been asked to provide a guard of honour along this route. Any student wishing to take a position along the route must be present outside the house at 10.15 sharp and in full school uniform. Second years will provide the Guard of honour as Lee’s remains are exiting the church grounds. The school choir will provide the music for the funeral mass.

As for the management of the school on Friday we wish to make a few points. The school will remain open for students who wish to attend. Classes will take place where possible and supervised study will be provided in the absence of teachers who are attending Lee’s funeral mass. Second years will be transported to the church in Darndale. If your child from any other year group wishes to attend the mass we kindly ask you to accompany them directly to the church or outside Lee’s house. If any child wishes to leave from the school on Friday morning please complete the permission slip below and indicate whether you wish your child to return to school after the funeral or not.

The following services can be accessed should you feel your child requires extra support.
