We received this information today. It may be of interest to parents.

As part of our ongoing commitment towards sustainability, we have decided to ban glitter from school. As glitter is a microplastic it causes pollution in the oceans and damage to marine life. We are also working to reduce the amount of waste in our school bins. Our school water bottle (to replace single use bottles) is available all year at a cost of €4 and is made from recycled materials

We hope everyone had a lovely summer and all are refreshed! We will reopen on Wednesday 28th from 9am for senior infants-6th class and from 10-12 for our incoming junior infants. School uniforms, crests and sustainable water bottles will be on sale in school on Tuesday 27th from 10-12. See you soon!

Booklists for the coming academic year are available under the Publications tab. Have a lovely summer!  

We were delighted to welcome Sergeant Margo and Garda Ronan to speak about online safety and digital footprint today! We hope that our students listened to their wise advice! 

6th class had a great Q&A session this morning with engineer Stephen Duke discussing renewable forms of energy and their effect on climate change. Stephen was very impressed with the level of questioning! Thank you Stephen!

A fantastic time was had at Explorium today (24th June) by 3rd-6th class! Explorium is Ireland’s National Sport and Science Centre and there was a vast array of interactive experiences for the students. We hope everyone had a brilliant time!
