Below is the link to the poster that we are displaying in school, received from Department of Education with regard to Coronavirus. Teachers have revised hand washing and sneezing/coughing etiquette with children. Children are permitted to bring their own hand towels to school. https://www.education.ie/en/Schools-Colleges/Information/National-Emergencies-Public-Health-Issues/covid_19-poster-advice-for-schools.pdf  

What a fun way to mark #EngineersWeek!  Students got to experiment with stethoscopes and they took their own blood pressure. They tested reflexes and explored the brain! How interesting!  Thank you to our wonderful PA for sponsoring Little Medical School – the students loved it!

We are currently  taking enrolments for junior infants for the coming academic year. We have an open night on Tuesday 24th March at 7pm. All welcome! Call the office on 0402 37596 for more information

We are very proud of our Altura Credit Union quiz team who lost out on 2nd place after a nail biting tie breaker. There were in excess of 60 teams there so it is a huge achievement for them! Well done Cillian, Shane, Diarmuid and Charlie!

We are delighted to be progressing to the final of the Concern Primary School debating tournament. It has been such an educational experience as we have explored issues such as world hunger and technology consumption. We look forward to the final motion! Thank you to our opponents from Murrintown NS who gave us a great counter argument. We were most appreciative of the feedback from adjudicators Sally Stevens, Pat Gately and Cora Keane. We will spend the next month researching and putting our speeches together! Well done to our panel on their success thus far!
