We are holding a festive clothing day on Friday 21st December. The children can wear Christmas jumpers, Christmas onesies, make their own Christmas jumpers, anything once its full of festive cheer!! The Parents Reps will also be providing tasty breakfast treats for the pupils and we may even have a surprise visitor in the morning!
The pupils will not need to bring in any money for this non uniform day.
Can we also remind parents that the annual Kris Kindle present swap will be taking place in the school on Thursday 20th, so each pupil should have their gift in, wrapped and nameless, by that day.
Thank You
Parents came together and organised a carol singing event on Friday 07th Dec @ Latin Quarter in Redcross. The children alongside Jackie Phipps performed carols outside of the Latin Quarter, they then went for a walk to the housing estate Glenkeen where they performed some songs for the residents and then back to Redcross Village for some more songs. They finished off with some lovely hot chocolate and treats kindly supplied by Jones Pub. A total of €61 was raised. The children had a brilliant night having fun and got into the festive spirit. A thank you to all the parents who helped organise the event, to Jackie for guiding and assisting the children and to the children who took part. There was a great turn out on the night and we thank you for your support!
Well done everyone!
6th Class performed their annual duties in decorating the school for the Christmas period. They had great fun doing it and we all agree the school looks great!! Mara is the youngest and as per tradition she got to put the sheep on the top of the tree. Thank you to all the 6th class pupils.
On Friday 14th Dec a whole school trip to Castletown House has been arranged by the school. The OPW have opened the house for free living history tours for schools which will incorporate many of the curriculum areas in History.
Pupils will be leaving the school at 09.30 am and will require a full packed lunch.
The total cost for the trip is €8.00 per pupil for the bus, €5 of this will be subsidized by the school through fundraising leaving the cost of the bus at €3 each for the pupils.
Money will need to be into all class teachers by Thurs 13th Dec.
Thank You

The Board of Management and staff would like to advise all parents that there will be NO ENTRY FEE to the Christmas play this year for everyone who attends.
As in previous years, we will be holding a raffle on the night to fundraise for the school and we are calling on all parents for donations of small spot prizes or voucher for the raffle. If you know of any business in the area who would be willing to donate a prize, please request a fundraising letter from Mary in the office. Every year our raffle has been a great success and provides great fun on the night.
We will have posters going out to shops/businesses in the next few days. If you would like a poster to advertise please ask in the office.
Thank you for all your help and support.
We are in the process of planning a sale of work fundraiser for the school to raise much needed funds and to purchase items for the school. Please remember us when you are de-cluttering and clearing out for the Christmas period. We would really appreciate it if you could hold onto items for the school to use at the sale of work. More details will follow
Thank You
We enjoyed our school tour to DCU, a very active and fun day was had by all while also contributing to Crumlin Children’s Hospital - a very worthy cause.
We recently held our first Active Schools Week where the pupils engaged in various activities such as wake up shake up each morning, drop everything and dance, outdoor activities, the SSE 10Km in a day challenge and a poster competition. The pupils were so energetic and enthusiastic all week making it a great success - well done everyone!
Look at our certificates! All pupils completed the Fit4Class programme with great energy and enthusiasm.
The children recently enjoyed a set of yoga classes with Maura Broaders. It was a lovely way to end the school year.
