A Thuiste: After a week back at school, routine is now in full swing as everyone settles in to a new school year.

Cruinniú Fóirne: An inservice course is being held for the school staff on Wednesday 15th next. Children will be allowed home at 12.30pm to facilitate same. Thanking you for your co-operation.

Cód Iompair: A revised new Code of Conduct has been formulated over the last school year. All the different bodies within the school were invited to make submissions prior to drafting. A copy will be issued to parents during the coming weeks. We wish to emphasize that the vast majority of pupils are co-operative and very well mannered, which we intend to highlight and acknowledge during the course of the school year. Thanking all parents who play such an important role inculcating a positive attitude toward school. Your role is vital in this regard. The new Code of Conduct also outlines steps for those who flagrantly or consistently are disruptive at school and what steps will be involved in counteracting/dealing with undesirable conduct. “Mol an Óige” (praise the youth) is the school motto and if applied fairly at home and at school will go a long way.

Eadaí Scoile: Kindly ensure that your child is wearing the proper school uniform, which is available locally in Neville’s Drapery and Flavins’ Sports. Black shoes only. Runner and sneaker type footwear should only be worn on P.E. days.

Bainne: School milk is subsidized and costs a fraction of alternative drinks. Milk this term (until Christmas) costs only €13. That amounts to less than twenty cent a day. Kindly hand in the correct amount in an envelope (bearing your child’s name and address) to your child’s class teacher.

Bí Sábhálta: To maximise road safety, kindly hold your child’s hand when exiting the school. Children should be encouraged to watch out for traffic and to use the services of our excellent road warden also. Avoid letting your child free to run/play games as they exit the school. They need guidance and supervision, moreover when exiting the school. Thanking you for your co-operation.

Trácht: While parking is problematic, do not park at the entrance to the apartments nearby as residents need to exit and entre their homes. Again thanking you for your co-operation.

Gaelscoil: We all need to use our `cúpla focal`at school and at home. Thanking all those who use basic Gaeilge, at home and at school to reinforce the school day.
Let’s make our school a gaelscoil. We all need to make an extra effort to create a gaelscoil atmosphere. ‘Ni neart go cur le chéile’

Le dea-mhéin
