A Great Night had at the Christmas Concert!

A fantastic night was had at the annual Christmas concert. It took on a slightly different format this year with a beautiful performance from the Brittas Bay choir. The pupils from all three classes did their parents and teachers proud on the night with their performances, and even got a chance to join in with the Brittas Bay choir for some carols at the end. A huge thank you to all that made it such a fun and festive night, including the choir, Parents Reps and parents, raffle prize sponsors and those who donated refreshments, members of the BOM and staff of the school. A huge thank you also to Susan and Roland for the use of the hall and audio equipment for practices, and on the night. The final tally is not in yet but approx 1100 euro was raised on the night for the school!

Videos of the show and the choir will be uploaded here in the week to come.

Scientist busy at work for Science Week!

Junior and Senior Infants were busy experimenting and investigating items that would float or sink. They also investigated how their coats keep them warm and dry during winter. Children investigated what their coats were made of  and where the materials came from. They also explored how animals and birds keep warm during winter.  

Colaiste Chill Mhaintain

The deadline for all enrolements for 6th Class to CCM is this Friday 17th Nov.

School Bank Re-commencing Friday 17th Nov

The School Bank which operates every Friday is re-commencing this Friday 17th Nov. 

New Junior Infants will have their own account opened and a savings book started.

The minimum amount that can be lodged is €1 and the Bank does not accept any 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c or 20c or 50c coins.  Any money remaining at the end of the Summer term may be withdrawn, or, alternatively, the balance can roll over into the following year. We would encourage all parents/guardians to leave the money in the bank over the summer months so that it can be available in September to pay for initial school costs.

Saving with the School Bank is optional, however, it has proven to be a very effective initiative since its introduction some years ago, and has lessened the burden for parents/guardians with regards to meeting school costs.  

We ask that all parents ensure that they have provided an active email address to the school as all statements will be emailed to parents/guardians and will no longer be printed.

Thank You

Christmas Cards designed by the Children

We are doing a Christmas Card design project again this year with the children.

Each child gets to design or colour an individual design for the front of their Christmas Card. On the back of the card it details the Child's name as the designer.

The children are in the process of designing their cards at present and after this the cards will go to print.

You will receive a draft of your Child's Christmas Card and an order form for which you can detail how many packets you would like to order. Orders then need to be returned to the school with payment for the date detailed on the order form.

Children will then receive their cards just in time to send to everyone for Christmas!!

These are a great keepsake for the children and also a lovely way to wish your friend's and families a Merry Christmas.
