Copy of permission letter - u cant say u didnt get one!!!!!
26th February 2014
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are organising a trip for Transition Year students to the Aviva Stadium to see the Ireland V Serbia International friendly match on Wednesday 5th March.
We will leave the school on Wednesday morning at 9.10 (with a couple of stops along the way for shopping) but as the match does not begin until 7.45pm the bus will not return until approximately 2am. I appreciate that this is very inconvenient but would be grateful if you would arrange for your child to be collected from the school / Ramelton at this time. Students will not be allowed to walk home on their own unless a note is provided and signed by parents / guardians. This is for safety reasons. I am sure that you will understand this. The school TY mobile will be in use on the day. The number is 00353860836822.
The students will be accompanied on the trip by a number of teachers. The ticket will cost 5 euro and the bus will cost 10 euro (total of 15 euro). The school are contributing to the price of the bus as well. I believe that 15 euro does represent good value for money.
I would be very grateful if each student would return the permission slip and money ASAP if they are interested in going on the trip.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Adrian Doherty.
Transition Year Co-ordinator.

I/We give permission for our son/daughter __________________________________ to go on the trip to the Aviva Stadium on Wednesday 5th March and agree to make arrangements to have them collected at the school / Ramelton at approximately 2am on Thursday morning.

Bundoran/Ireland/Permission slips
With regard to the Ireland trip - there are a number of people on the waiting list - so the people who have not paid for Bundoran - u have until Monday to sort it out and pay your money for Bundoran - if u have not paid then u will not be eligible for a ticket. I have not ordered any more Ireland tickets (despite the boys today telling me that I should have ordered another 20 anyway!!! - a bit disrespectful now I have to say!!!) - I gave u a number of weeks notice and told u all that I had to order them on Tuesday morning - I even left it until Wednesday to order the tickets - I even ordered about 4 extra to allow for late orders - I just didn't expect that there would be so many late orders - I cant promise anything but as always I will do my best to get as many to the game as I can!
However I do believe that students have to make it a bit easier on me - READ THE BLOG, know what is happening, have your money in when it is due in and this will allow me to make the order of the amount of tickets that we need - as always and like I mentioned today - it is only a minority of students who are a bit laid back on it and who wait for others to do it for them - the large majority of students are doing everything right - please keep this up and thanks for all the co-operation - well done
Please make sure that u all have your permission letters and money in with you on Monday - even the people on the reserve list - this is very important - to give yourself any chance of going to the game. No excuses and no stories - have your Bundoran money and Ireland money in and also have your permission slips as well!!!!!! Thanks - we will hopefully sort this on Monday

100km club - that is up and running like other years - forms are outside my office door - please get involved and improve your fitness - there is a prize for anyone who completes the 100kms. The aim is to get more and more people/students more active so please help us out - needs to be completed by the middle of March so there is still plenty of time - so everyone needs to get going
There is a number of people that I need to see with regard to the informal chats that I had with all of TY - u should know who u are - these are just follow up chats - if u are one of these people please bring your work in so that I can see it the first Monday back - no excuses - have everything done that u were told to do - and it is up to you to find me and show me the work - thanks

Same msg again but please read
Please read!!!
A special reminder to all students that I have now introduced something new due to the fact that we are chasing people all the time with regard to paying for things (and its only a few people - the majority of people have everything paid for) - if there is a problem with money that is a different story altogether - but for example if we give u 6 weeks to pay for Ji Jitsu - then we would expect it to be paid - please see it from our point of view - we are chasing money all the time and it gets very annoying after a while - plus the fact we have to pay our bills as we go along - so to help us - if u have not paid for the last activity then u are not allowed to go on the next activity - there are still some people who have not paid for Ji Jitsu and so they will not be able to move onto the next activity until the money is paid - when u think about it - it does make sense. This will hopefully help everyone
The next activity is going to be the Leisure Centre in Downings after mid term - we will be going there for approximately 5 weeks - you will spend one week spinning, and the rest will be divided between the gym and pool - the cost due to the bus and paying for the Leisure Centre will be 5 euro per week - so in other words if u forget your money the first week - if it is not paid by the start of the following week - you will not be going and u will be staying at school - so that means u have a week to pay up - u have been warned so don't be giving out to me if it happens!!!!
Each week for PE - we will leave the school at 130 and back for the buses - u can get changed down there - each week u must bring gear for spinning (shorts/tracksuit, tea-shirts and runners), gear for the gym/fitness suite and gear for the pool (u need a swimming hat - u can buy this down there if u don't have one for approx. 3 euro) - we will let u know on the day which activity u will be doing but u must be prepared for all 3 activities - bring a towel and shower gel as well
Bundoran money by the first Monday back
Celtic money by the first Monday back - u can still pay for this but it must be in on the Monday - we have to book tickets
Ireland money by the first Monday back - again I have to book the tickets
I know these 3 things are now falling at the same time but the reason for this is that people have not paid for these and we have had to extend the closing dates - we did space them all out originally but due to the fact people wanted more time they are now all falling together - please do best on these as I want you all to experience as many different trips as possible in TY
