If you wish to pay fully in cash, please email one of the coordinators in advance. Our names and email address are below. 

 

Who can avail of after school study?:

First refusal on places go to current 6th years who did supervised study in 5th year. Other places will be offered to 5th & 6th years on a first paid, first served basis. Please note that a place will only be secured when payment is received. 

The running of supervised study is dependent on sufficient places being filled. In the event that there aren’t enough students to break even, we won’t be in a position to operate. 

 

Group numbers:

Unfortunately we can’t facilitate part time places. If students have other commitments or will be arriving late parent/ guardian will need to email coordinators in advance.

 

Rules:

School rules apply as usual.

Students will be required to engage in individual private study and have to be in the room where study is being held. 

Should a student disturb the study session they will be asked to leave after contact with parents/ guardians.

Students will be required to leave the premises immediately after each study session.

Students are not permitted to get books etc while the session is ongoing. This should be done before the start of study or during the break. The same applies to toilet breaks except in urgent situations. 

Lateness, either into supervised study at 4 or back after the break at 5:10 will not be tolerated. 

Coming and going during the study session is very distracting to others. Students should be mindful that a quiet distraction free environment is what people have paid for, and the supervisor is there to ensure that that is provided. Please discuss this with your child before making a decision about signing up. 

 

 

Coordinators: 

Supervised study is coordinated by Liadán Ní Shíomóin (liadan.nishiomoin@mounttemple.ie) and Derek Conway (derek.conway@mounttemple.ie) Please email either of us if any clarification is needed.
