Fresh Air Fridays                                                                                                                                        We’d love for everyone in the school community to walk, scoot, or cycle each Friday. We will keep track of the pupils progress by marking off each time they do walk, cycle or scoot on the progress posters,. If you have to drive maybe park at the centre and walk from there.   
   

• 6th classes went to the FUNKTION ROOM today as part of the Dance strand in the PE curriculum. We met Rachel and Kevin who are young, vibrant, enthusiastic dancers. They kindly offered a free class today or tomorrow for any child. More information can be found at https://www.thefunktionroom.ie/   You can also contact them on email or whatsapp - 0834616497.

Attention 6th Class Parents:

Your child will be starting in secondary school in August/September 2025. The following open nights are taking place in the local secondary schools over the coming weeks. Parents/guardians are invited to attend these along with your child. This will give you an opportunity to chose/consider  a school that suits your child’s needs. Please note that the demand for secondary school places is very high so it is essential that you apply for a school place within the timeframe laid out by each school’s Admissions Notice. In the coming weeks, schools will publish their Attendance Notice on their school website giving details of this process and I will also publish details on our school Facebook page.
