School is in!
After almost six months away from the physical classroom, this year’s Rang a Sé have made a happy return (as the smiles in the photo indicate!).
School life is a little different this year. Each class is divided into pods of 6 students. We also have different breaktimes for junior and senior classes and slightly different home times. We sanitise our hands regularly throughout the day.
As you can see from the photo, Rang a Sé is divided into three pods – An Grúpa Glas, An Grúpa Gorm and An Grúpa Dearg. All of our pods are working well together. Everyone is doing their bit to help stop the spread of Covid-19 while also getting used to the routine of life in school once again.
Check back here regularly to see what we get up to throughout the year!
