Oscailt Oifigiúil: Buíochas to all concerned, who helped to make the official opening of our new rooms a successful one. Our own Criostóir Ó Cuana, who was in his last few weeks of office as Uachtarán C.L.G did the official opening. All members of the school community were present in the hall on Marta 22ú on a mementus day that was celebrated by pupils, parents, staff and management. Míle buíochas arís.

 Comhneartú: Rang VI and their múinteoir Caitríona Ní Riada had their own special day when they received the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Holy Family Church on Marta 23ú. A great parish day was celebrated by all concerned.

 An Chéad Chomaoine: Preparations for an Chéad Chomaoine le Rang 11 are in full swing with pupils and their múinteoirí Jean Uí Mhurchú agus Póilín Ní Ghrifín. This takes place in the Holy Family Church on May 12ú at 10.30am.

 Bainne: Milk is nutritious and essential for growing young bodies. It is available at a subsidized cost of €10 for this term.

 Safety - Bí Slán: When collecting your child at 1.40pm, parents of junior and senior infants are asked to be extremely vigilant as we all want to avoid any fatalities or serious injury. Do not let your child run ahead of you, unaccompanied. Their hands should be held at ages 4 – 7. Any social interaction should be held inside the railings, not while your child runs ahead into danger of oncoming traffic. We owe it to our children to mind them properly coming and moreover leaving school. If crossing the road use the services of our excellent road warden. Be Safe-Be Slán.

 Parking: Once again we ask you to use common sense when parking in the school environs. Residents live in the Monastery Apartments. Please do not obstruct their entrance. Relate this to any grandparent/au pair or to whoever may be collecting your child. Parking at their entrance is very unfair to those living there and the school is the recipient of regular legitimate complaints and numerous phone calls from residents who cannot enter/leave their homes!! Lets all co-operate to avoid the above.

 As part of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness week, one of our sixth class pupils Ben Mac Cárthaigh is organizing a bun sale (3/4 buns €2) on tomorrow Thursday 3ú in aid of C.F. Thanking you in advance for your support. 

Lá Saoire Bainc Bealtaine: This is May Bank Holiday week end. School is closed on Friday 4ú agus Monday 7ú next. Bainigí taitneamh as.
