I am sure that I speak for us all when I say that I am enormously proud of how the country, community, and especially students, teachers and their families have navigated the difficult and unchartered waters of isolation, social distancing, transitioning to learning from home, and refraining from social and sporting activities for so many months. As we approach the final phases of the easing of restrictions, I would encourage everyone to mix the understandable excitement and enthusiasm with the same caution that you have shown to date. We cannot be complacent and assume that as the lockdown eases, there will not be spikes of infection. We are busy preparing for the next term and plans for student and staff induction are well underway. We have a “COVID-19 return to school team”, who are developing detailed plans to address the various scenarios which we are likely to face in September. This includes full return of all students, partial return with increased online learning, and a comprehensive provision in co-curricular programmes. Staff are undertaking training in online learning and all are preparing for the next term enthusiastically and with a confidence built on the positive feedback from students and parents from last term. Please see how the building development is also progressing on Page 12 of this newsletter. During lockdown, the standstill cranes were symbols of how our world froze overnight. Their renewed movement is like small green shoots making their way through the winter snow, heralding hope and confidence that we will make our way back. The College has lived through many world changing events and as a community we are determined to learn from this experience as well. After a period where the pandemic dominated the news cycle, and as images of suffering and violence across the world dominate our screens, it was particularly harrowing to witness the events that led to the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Jesuits have not been silent and you may wish to read more on the topic (link). We also extend our condolences to the family and Garda community on the tragic death of Garda Colm Horkan. Words of condolence seem inadequate in the face of such grief and anguish. Yet it is important to take the time to speak out against injustice, to take time to convey condolences and reach out to see what if anything we can do to make a change for the better. Our children learn from example and therefore we have a huge responsibility to model positive behaviour. We must act on the belief that everyone has the power to make a difference and every action counts. In an age where so many flee in terror to seek refuge, you may wish to make a difference (link). 1 Letter From The Headmaster As part of our strategy for supporting students and their families during the lockdown, we transitioned to a weekly electronic newsletter and found it to be a very effective way of communicating, especially with all of the various changes and updates received on an almost daily basis in regards to COVID-19. I encourage you to have a look at the resources provided in the previous weekly electronic newsletters (link). Summer is a time for students to do many things, particularly reading, and to that end there are excellent resources provided there for all our students. Please encourage your child to read as much as possible over the coming weeks. Similarly and in place of our usual printed College Newsletter, we will have two electronic editions for you this summer – this being the first. This new format has been divided into two sections. The first provides the most current information for students, families and indeed past pupils and others in the community. We are delighted to feature a video Q&A with Dr Eoin Feeney (link), OB 1996, and a leading consultant in the field of infectious diseases. We are very grateful to Dr Feeney for taking the time to share his thoughts and insights with the Belvedere community. The second section shares the vast array of student achievements, trips and highlights that took place during the academic year. I hope that you enjoy it. We are always interested in your news. The achievements of our students, past and present have the potential to inspire others. So please take the time to let us know of anything you think is of interest to the College Community. Finally, I wish you and all of those dear to you a very enjoyable summer and we look forward to a safe return to the ‘new normal’ as we continue to exit the lockdown. With warmest regards, Gerry Foley Headmaster 2 Junior Cycle Update Junior Cycle - Revised arrangements for Classroom Based Assessments for students in Second Year in 2019/20 Dear Principal, This is to let you know that the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) has posted details on its website here of revised arrangements for the completion of Classroom Based Assessments (CBAs) for the cohort of students currently coming to the end of their 2nd Year (2019/20). These revised arrangements are on foot of the disruption to their learning caused for these students by the Covid-19 pandemic and the desire to avoid an excessive assessment burden in 2020/21. A summary of the revised arrangements include: 1. Extension of the deadline for completion of CBA 1s into the first term of the school year 2020/21, while also allowing for the possibility that some teachers and schools may wish to, and be able to, complete them before the end of the current term. 2. Removal of the requirement for students currently in second year of Junior Cycle to complete two CBAs in each subject, to a requirement to complete just one CBA in each subject. Students will be required to complete an Assessment Task in respect of whatever CBA they complete. 3. The school management and its teachers, in discussion where feasible with students, will choose the one CBA to complete for each subject. However, there will be some exceptions to this choice: • To ensure assessment of oral communications skills, students must complete CBA 2: Communicative Task in Irish, and CBA 1: Oral Communication in Modern Foreign Languages. • As they are linked in each case with the final examination in the subject, students studying Visual Art, Home Economics, and Music must complete CBA 2. These arrangements will also be set out in the Junior Cycle circular for 2020/21 which will be published during the summer.

Please click here to access the video. Professional Profile Dr Eoin Feeney is a consultant in infectious diseases at St Vincent’s University Hospital. Over the past few months, Dr Feeney has worked on the diagnosis and management of COVID patients. Dr Feeney graduated from Belvedere College SJ in 1996. He went on to study medicine at Trinity College Dublin where he graduated in 2002. Through the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital training scheme he completed his basic specialist training, spending six months as a resident at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. He completed his Higher Specialist Training in 2012 in Infectious Diseases and General Internal Medicine through the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland. He was awarded a PhD from the University College Dublin the same year. He undertook a Fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston from 2012-2014. He was an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School from 2013-2014. He was awarded the Massachusetts Infectious Diseases Society Edward H. Kass Award for Clinical Excellence in 2014. In 2014 Dr Feeney returned to Ireland as a Consultant Physician in Infectious Diseases and established the Infectious Diseases department at St. Vincent’s University Hospital and St. Vincent’s Private Hospital. 4 Pastoral “2020 has been an unprecedented year—like nothing I have seen before. I believe we are seeing humanity awaken to a new level of awareness of systemic injustice in the world, the suffering it causes, and of the role each of us play in perpetuating these systems—predominantly by those of us with privilege and power.

  • Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015
    Irish Schools Athletics Champions 1916-2015 Updated June 15 2015 In February 1916 Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) circularised the principal schools in Ireland regarding the advisability of holding Schoolboys’ Championships. At the IAAA’s Annual General Meeting held on Monday 3rd April, 1916 in Wynne’s Hotel, Dublin, the Hon. Secretary, H.M. Finlay, referred to the falling off in the number of affiliated clubs due to the number of athletes serving in World War I and the need for efforts to keep the sport alive. Based on responses received from schools, the suggestion to hold Irish Schoolboys’ Championships in May was favourably considered by the AGM and the Race Committee of the IAAA was empowered to implement this project. Within a week a provisional programme for the inaugural athletics meeting to be held at Lansdowne Road on Saturday 20th May, 1916 had been published in newspapers, with 7 events and a relay for Senior and 4 events and a relay for Junior Boys. However, the championships were postponed "due to the rebellion" and were rescheduled to Saturday 23rd September, 1916, at Lansdowne Road. In order not to disappoint pupils who were eligible for the championships on the original date of the meeting, the Race Committee of the IAAA decided that “a bona fide schoolboy is one who has attended at least two classes daily at a recognised primary or secondary school for three months previous to 20 th May, except in case of sickness, and who was not attending any office or business”. The inaugural championships took place in ‘quite fine’ weather.

  • LIVES of the PRESIDENTS Sir Joseph Michael Redmond
    LIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS Sir Joseph Michael Redmond Born: c.1856 President: 1906 – 1908 Died: 1921 Joseph Redmond, an esteemed citizen of Dublin who was ’very popular amongst the members of his profession’1, was born circa 1856. The son of Denis Redmond of Ranelagh, Dublin, his early schooling was at the College of St. Francis Xavier, now Belvedere College, and afterwards at the Catholic University of Ireland. This institution had no power to award degrees until 1880 when the recognised Royal University of Ireland came into being and Catholic University students were then entitled to sit for its exams. So, it was not until 1915 that Joseph Redmond received his MD as an honorary degree awarded by the National University of Ireland. He also studied at the Hospital for Diseases of the Throat and the Chest, London and in 1876 he obtained the Diploma of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. In 1878 he became a Licentiate of the College of Physicians, and he was elected a Fellow six years later and was President between 1906 and 1908. An active member of the Dublin medical community, he was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy in the Catholic University Medical School in 1877. Four years later, he was made Senior Physician at the Mater Misericordiae Hospital. He was Consulting Physician to the National Maternity and Coombe Hospitals as well as to St. Michael’s in Kingstown and the Cottage Hospital, Drogheda. He was a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Medicine reading many papers there and was a President of the Section of State Medicine (now Public Health Medicine).
