As the new school year gets underway, the Board would like to thank staff for their continued good work in the school and look forward to working with them for the advancement of the school this year. We note the many summer courses which have been undertaken in order that teaching and professional development remains consistent with best practise in education. We thank staff for the many ways they support and encourage the children in the school. Thank you to Ms Doherty who will continue to manage the school football team and to her co-manager, Deirdre Owens.

The Board also looks forward to continuing the school’s excellent relationship with the Parents’ Association. Finances in the school are under pressure this year, so we especially welcome and support any fundraising ideas and efforts that can generate much-needed funds for the school: perhaps looking into the feasibility of revisiting the Race Night which was a great success financially. We look forward to their continuing involvement and support in upcoming events.

We encourage all parents to become involved and hope that some of our new parents will come to a meeting and see the great work that the Parents’ Association do. An active and engaged Parents’ Association is of great benefit to the whole school community – the more parents who are involved, the more the school will thrive.

A big welcome to our new Junior Infants and to those in other classes who have joined this year.
Best wishes to all pupils, parents, staff, and Parents’ Association for the 2024-25 school year
