Sincere thanks to all who have donated so far to the Christmas Fair. Local businesses have been very supportive for which we are most grateful.

Dear Parent / Guardian
We have been requested by the DCU Anti-Bullying Centre to share the below information with you.
Vodafone Ireland Foundation has partnered with DCU Anti-Bullying Centre and Childline by ISPCC to develop and launch Tozi - a new app aimed at creating a safer, more positive online space for young people.
The app is free and available to download on mobile phones in Ireland - iOS and Android .
Tozi aims to educate, empower and support young people with the tools and advice they need to have a more positive online experience delivered through engaging features within the app.
Congratulations to all TY, 1st and 2nd-year students who participated in the Trade Fair today. It was wonderful to see the entrepreneurial talent in St. Louis High School. Sincerest thanks to Ms Lanigan for her immense work in organising the event. Thanks also to the TY business teachers, Ms Healy and Mr Sheahan.
ATTENTION ALL BAKERS.
At the Christmas Fair, we will have a café. Delicious home baked goods will make all the difference and we hope that the bakers within our school community will deliver delicious wares. Please let the parents council know at parentcouncil@stlouishighschool.ie know if you are in a position to bake goods for the Fair and then deliver them on Sunday morning to the school. Sincere thanks for your help and support.
With only 6 days to go, we are putting out our final call outs in search of more donations and contributions to the Christmas Fair. The Parents' Council have been working very hard to get as much support as possible. We ask that each student in school brings in at least one item for the fair:
1st Yrs - selection box, colouring book and pens
2nd Yrs - festive wear
3rd Yrs - stationery
4th Yrs - skincare products
5th Yrs - candles
6th Yrs - boxes of chocolates.
These will be collected at the front door first thing in the morning.
Monies raised will go towards refurbishing the school stage. We are looking for as much support as possible. Thank you to all who have contributed so far.
We have just been informed that the FOOD VILLAGE, after careful consideration, find themselves in the unfortunate position of having to suspend their service for the morning break in school on Fridays only. This change will take effect from Monday 4th of December.
Food village remains committed to providing a full break and lunch service without any disruptions on Mon-Thursday. Thank you.
Congratulations to our victorious basketball u/19 team who today won the east Region Division C final today. They played against Portmarnock CC and the final score was 41-35. The players played their hearts out and it was a well-deserved win. There was a fantastic welcome home for the team and Coach G and Ms O'Reilly. They now move on to the next phase of the competition having reached the final 16 in Ireland. This is a fantastic achievement. Thank you to the supporters who lifted the roof with their encouraging chants. Louis the Lion was in splendiforous form, even scoring a few baskets!! Well done again to one and all. UT SINT UNUM.
We are still collecting donations for the Christmas Fair at the start of the day. All year groups have been asked to bring in at least one item for the Christmas Fair. Thank you to all those who have already brought in items. Please bring in the following as soon as possible. Every donation will make a difference. Monies raised from the Fair will go towards the refurbishment of our school stage. We need your support. Thank you.
1st Yrs - Santa's Present - Christmas Selection Box; Colouring book and pens - all wrapped
2nd Yrs - Festive holiday wear - eg Christmas earrings; socks, scarves, hats; etc.
3rd Yrs Stationery items eg notebooks; pens/pencils/ laptop stickers; badges
TYs: Skincare & Beauty products eg masks; cleansers; moisturisers; nail polish

Other donations are welcome. We will need plenty of homebaked goods nearer the time, so we ask you to help as well in this regard. Many thanks.
Please check out the changes to bus routes at the links below. If you think your child will be impacted by changes due these bus route changes, then please let us know in school at stlouishs.rathmines@gmail.com. Please make representation to your local representatives in this regard. An email will be sent with a sample letter which might be of help in any representations. The more representation made, the better for the campaign. Thank you.

Route S2 will connect Heuston Station with St. James's Hospital, Rathmines, the RDS, Sandymount and Poolbeg.
Route S4 will connect Liffey Valley Shopping Centre with Ballyfermot, Crumlin Hospital, Terenure to UCD.
As you may be aware, Transport Ireland has been changing bus routes over the past while. This week, the 18 bus route has now been changed and this is impacting students travelling to and from school. Whilst the school put in a comprehensive submission to Transport Ireland during the consultation stage requesting that this bus route should not be changed, the change has still gone ahead.
If this is affecting your child's journey to school, we would ask that you contact your local TD representative or councillor to raise your concerns and to seek action as soon as possible. We would appreciate if you could let us know if your child has been affected by this change to the 18 bus route. This will give the school further evidence of the negative impact this move will have on the school travel arrangements for some of our students.

The Competition is a three-stage event with local, regional competitions leading to a national final. A selection of topics is circulated to schools and each competitor can choose. A 6-minute speech is presented at the competition on the topic of choice and adjudicated by a panel of 3 judges.
The competition encourages girls to develop the skills to speak effectively and articulately with clarity and conviction. This enables them to improve their self-confidence and personality which in turn will enhance their career opportunities.
Today, in the Mansion House, Lucie Walsh (TY) represented St Louis High School. Lucie put in a very impressive performance and now, along with one other is progressing to the regional finals in January. Congratulations to Lucie and wishing her every success at the next stage of the competition. Thank you to Ms Capper for encouraging, guiding and supporting.

They would really appreciate the support of the entire school community in sourcing Ikea blue bags and plastic bottles (clear and blue) as their supplies are limited. Please check at home and bring in what you can to support this fantastic project.
Many thanks,
Ms Howard and the TY Junk Kouture class.
