In this webinar we are bringing together again the panel we had for our ‘Ready for School’ webinar last August. We will revisit some of the questions and concerns raised back then, as parents are grappling with many of same issues and we will address the even more uncertain times we face now, as we don’t yet have a reopening date and there is the Leaving Cert uncertainty. Take the opportunity to voice your concerns and ask questions via this webinar.
