If a parent is reading this and your child is in crisis please contact your GP/GP out of hours service and contact Miss Wallace or Mr Quinn during school hours. When leaving a message please indicate that it is an emergency.
Please note: The school email address colasitemhuire@tipperaryetb.ie is checked regularly(Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm) but we cannot guarantee that it is checked daily (this is especially true during holiday times). However, we recommend that you check out our wellbeing page and the section of the website dedicated to the collation of resources during Covid times. (click on the links to go to the pages). As ever, your first point of contact when a child needs urgent help is your GP or the GP out of hours service.
