Work for Week 3 (March 30th - April 3rd)

Dear Parents and students,

Please find the work for Week 3.

I have emailed out the answers for Week 1 and 2. If you did not receive that email, please contact the school email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  .

Thank you to all those who emailed in projects and PowerPoints.

As stated previously, we hope that this is not creating any additional stress for parents and we ask that you access only as much of this work that you can do.

If you have any issues with the work, please drop the school an email.

I hope all are safe and well in these unprecedented times.

Le meas,

Nodlag O'Neill-Forde
