October saw the launch of our Awesome Autumn Attendance Initiative where Junior students are being motivated and rewarded for making an effort to attend school and do their best. Over the next 4 weeks, classes will be treated to fun activities in recognition for their efforts with the overall prize of a trip to Cool Creameries for the winning class. One student will have the opportunity of becoming the FVC Attendance Hero and winning a Chromebook. The initiative is being facilitated by Ms Mc Geehan (HSCL) and our DEIS Attendance Team led by Ms C Mc Granaghan. Thanks to talented second year, Abi Cassidy who designed our Attendance Hero FVC poster, encouraging everyone to be “Here, Everyday, Ready and On time”. #doyourbest.
