“Unwise” and “Ill advised” say ASTI of Carlow school assembly

There are questions over a school assembly in Carlow yesterday where 152 students gathered one metre apart.

The first year students at St Leo’s College congregated for the prayer assembly which the Department of Education has raised no objection to.

However the ASTI says the congregation was ‘unwise’ and ‘ill advised’.

Thousands of students are returning to school this week and next.
