Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Welcome to our final Thursday Letter of the year. It has been another hugely successful year. Thank you for all your significant contributions throughout the year. Your children would not have such a rich educational experience without this. I would also like to thank all of our wonderful teachers, SNAs and Nicky for all of the hard work throughout the year. We appreciate your positivity and ongoing support of the professional role of the staff and this is the best thanks you can give us a homemade card is more than enough in addition.

As mentioned previously with the roll out of the new Primary Language Curriculum, there will be further staff training. Our school have been allocated 30/09/2019 for our whole day of training. The school will be closed on 30/09/2019.

ART DAY
Art Day was a HUGE success!! The Art Day committee would like to thank all the people who made this all possible: staff, students, and all the parents who helped in some way or other on the day and in the preparations leading up to it! Great things happen when people come together!!

You can see a small selection of what was done on the day downstairs in the corridor in front of the principal’s office. There’s a Lego city constructed by a large number of students, as well as some fish that were painted with inspiration from artist John Nolan.

Just a reminder that there is still some art that has not been collected, please make sure to collect this before the end of the scholastic year. Most items are downstairs, near the lift, but please also ask the children to check in their classrooms.

Once again thanks to everyone who participated in one way or another to make Art Day happen!! If you have any feedback you would like to share please do so at [email protected]
