Newsletter November 3rd 2025
- We would like to welcome everyone back after the mid- term break. As the building works are almost complete, children can enter the school grounds each morning. All classes (except Junior/Senior Infants) should go to the back of the school where they will line up when the bell goes. Infants can wait outside their school doors as normal. Children should not play at the front or side of the school as lawns have been planted. Please note that football will not be allowed on the yard before school as the insulation on the back of the school can be damaged.
