  • Coláiste Iognáid Autumn Term Newsletter 2020
    COLÁISTE IOGNÁID AUTUMN TERM NEWSLETTER 2020 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Dear Parents & Guardians, As we approach the mid-term break, I would like to thank you for the support you have shown the school community during this period. It has been an extraordinary few months in school. The students have shown maturity beyond their years and have adapted admirably to the new reality. While it has been a challenging time for them, it is clear that they are happy to be back in Coláiste Iognáid. I am reminded of the words of St Ignatius, "If you find you have fallen, do not despair, even falls are an aid to wellbeing.” As a society we are all struggling to make sense of our current situation. Certain sectors are impacted more than others and to my mind teenagers have been dealt a particularly difficult hand. On the radio a few weeks ago, Professor Maureen Gaffney described people as living in a state of ‘consistent low-level stress.’ A statement, we can all identify with. The students need support, clarity and kindness as do our teachers and all our staff. Teachers, tutors, year heads, learning and pastoral support teams have all worked tirelessly to check-in and reassure students. Compassionate words and expressions of gratitude are more important now than ever before. Ní neart go cur le chéile. As you are aware, we had our first positive Covid case recently. In my interactions with the HSE mask wearing was repeatedly mentioned as critical. Their definition of a close contact is ‘spending over 15 minutes with a positive case when masks are not worn’.

It is bounded to the North by Lough Corrib and to the South by Galway Bay. The River Corrib dissects the city and a number of canals run from the river through the City to Galway Bay. The City is the centre of education in the West and renowned for its variety of cultural activities. It is also the commercial and industrial Capital of the West. The City boasts a fine harbour with an adjacent Enterprise Park for harbour related activities. The Regional Airport facilities on the outskirts of the City have delivered significant expansion in routes and services, generating close to 300% growth in passenger numbers since 2000. Galway is renowned for its cultural creativity. It has a track record of promoting cultural development and in organising artistic events on a scale that far exceeds the physical size of the City. The Irish Language has been an integral part of City life in Galway for many years with cultural and social institutions such as Taibhdhearc na Gaillimhe, Aras na Gaeilge, Gaillimhe le Gaeilge and Arus na nGael, playing a lead role in the cultural promotion of the language in the City. A number of areas within the City are in the official Gaeltacht boundary - such as Cnoc na Cathrach, Mionlach and An Caisleán Gearr.
