Please make sure these are done in your diary - I will be collecting them in the next day or so - make sure they are done - I will get to them - just busy at the minute!!!

Carlingford and permission slips - they better be in!!

From Miss Corless

Students were given an evaluation to give to each employer.  It has been issued now to give employers some time to consider your first placement progress.

(Anyone absent today will get theirs before Carlingford trip)

Check you have a complete and signed record of your work attendance up to and including December 16th (final Friday).  It will form part of your eventual interview and final TY result.

All businesses and schools are busy in the run up to Christmas so please make contact with your 2nd employer to secure a new placement in January 

(starting Jan. 13th 2017).

Thank you,

M. Corless
