PROJECT AWARDS & UPCOMING EVENTS - MAY/JUNE 2019

Published on Sunday 2nd June 2019

We head into the final busy month of a very busy year and the summer holidays just a few weeks away. Before we close at the end of June, school tours will happen, reports will issue, sports days will take place, "new" infants will visit and our second class children will be getting ready for the move to the senior school.....all part of our usual end of year activity.....many of these dates are on the calendar. One highlight for the parents of both schools is the free talk on Tuesday, June 11th at 8pm in the school hall. It concerns the topic of supporting children who have experienced bereavement and will be given by the highly respected expert in this area, Nuala Harmey. Further details, including booking in the post below.

Congratulations to all the pupils and teachers who were part of our "SFI Certificate in STEM" project earlier this year.....the good news is that we have achieved our objective, met all the criteria required and have been awarded a "Discover Science and Maths Award" for 2018/2019 academic year. Well done everyone - why not check out the web pages which serve as our Log Book of Evidence to see the work we did....click on the page link in the menu below. You can also click on the Green Schools page to see how we achieved our third Green Flag on May 22nd.......a great return on the great efforts put in for both projects.

School will close for the summer this year at 12.00pm on Friday, June 28th and will re-open in the Autumn for all classes on Thursday, August 29th. The full schedule of holidays and closings for the 2019 / 2020 school year is now published on this site. See link below.

Over the past few years, (beginning September 2012), we have been working very hard to achieve our "Green School" status and we successfully raised our first Green Flag in May 2014, for "Litter and Waste". Work has continued since, as we aim to receive our second flag in May 2016, this time for "Energy". Click on the specific page links below to read about each individual project.
