Students must wear their traditional dress/clothing or carry a flag/wear a jersey from their country and walk down the stage and back.

Lámh at Coláiste Pobail Setanta
Lamh is the sign language we are promoting in our school for students who have difficulties communicating verbally. Some of our students are non-verbal and we need them to feel accepted and comfortable in our school. For that reason there is going to be a lamh sign communicated to our students in every assembly, tutorial and class for the whole school to use throughout the day so that it becomes our norm and not just something we try to remember when we meet one of our friends that has communication difficulties.
The Lamh signs are HAPPY CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS, SANTA CLAUSE, TOY. Please see videos attached.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS (645) Lámh Sign For Happy Christmas - YouTube
CHRISTMAS (645) Christmas - YouTube
SANTA CLAUSE (645) Lámh Sign For SANTA CLAUS - YouTube
TOY (645) Lámh Sign For Toy - YouTube
Students can try put these signs together into a sentence.
Students Attendance and Absence
This year we are using the VS Ware App so that parents can communicate directly with the College regarding a student’s planned absence, appointments etc, or unplanned absence, illness etc. Please use VS Ware to input this information as we will be slowing phasing out the use of the school journal for this communication. From 5/1/2023 we will no longer accept notes in the journal to grant a student’s permission to leave for an appointment or to excuse an absence. From 5/1/23 we will only accept communication through VS Ware on these items
