SCHOOL
HOLIDAYS FOR SUBSEQUENT YEARS.
School
holidays, apart from two or three days during the year, are now
standardised. All details of the school holidays are available on the
Department of Education and Science’s website i.e.
www.education.ie. Included here are the details from that site
for 2012/13.
School In-Service and In-School Planning Days are notified to schools
during the school year. The school then informs parents of these days as
soon as those details become available.
School Year 2012/13
Not available
yet.
Religious
Observance and standardisation
The above
arrangements are agreed without prejudice to closure on specific days,
within the overall requirement of 183 days at primary level, dictated by
religious observance that is required in schools under the patronage of
different denominations or faiths.
In the absence of
an adequate number of discretionary days a school authority may choose
to utilize a religious observance day for non-tuition purposes when
planning the school year.
