A New Era at the Jes
School Refurbishment and Extension
The School refurbishment and extension is back on track after the major setback caused by Cordil going into receivership. The preparations for the re-tendering process are currently underway with new architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical drawings being prepared. Contractors will be back on site by St. Patrick's Day.
This major school refurbishment and extension will provide Jes pupils now and into future generations with a renewed and rejuvenated school campus that is up to date, yet steeped in tradition and ethos. The school community has raised considerable funds over the past number of years, and are now embarking on a drive to bring this long awaited project to completion. €2 million is needed and the school is calling on all its friends, parents, staff, supporters and alumni to help raise funds.
Christmas Letter
December 2011
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Beannachtaí na Nollag díbh go léir.
We have had an outstanding first term here at the Jes, with many wonderful achievements in both academic areas and extra curricular activities which I invite you to peruse in our Christmas Newsletter.
Despite the setback last April to our building project we are now hopeful that the new contractor will be back on site next spring. It is envisaged that the Science Block will be fully refurbished over the summer holidays and that we will be relocated into the new Andrews Building by October 2012 to facilitate the total refurbishment of the Griffin Building.
Great credit is due to the staff committees for their trojan work on the updating of a very significant number of our Policy documents. They can also be viewed on our website, click Home to find Policy Documents in the drop down menu.
