Óiche Shamhna, Óiche Shamhna…….. Halloween week is almost upon us, as the good weather shortens the term.  We had different activities allied with the curriculum ongoing ‘ar scoil’  which are worth noting, during this term.

Rang V1 agus Rang V are partaking in a ‘Discover Primary Science’.  Rang V agus Rang V1 enjoyed and benefited greatly from The Lismore Experience.  A science workshop for both classes involving electricity and light was a very worthwhile and educational experience.  Co-ordinated by Caitríona Ní Riada. Buíochas mór.

Quiz:  Two teams from the school participated in Muintir na Tire Quiz in Inch and performed with distinction.

Peil: Buachaillí agus cailiní had the opportunity to travel and play for our school teams in Scitha na Scol football leagues and Mini 7’s.  Their coaches Ailbhe agus Eoin are very pleased with their progress and have brought the teams to a competitive level. Obair agus allas!!.

Luthcleasaiocht: Over sixty pupils were brought to Conna for Long distance running and competed very well  Buíochas mór le Ailbhe agus Áine.

Ealaíon:  Páistí agus múinteoirí put a lot of effort into various Art Competitions – Credit Union, Walter Raleigh agus Youghal Faith Week. Buíochas mór le múinteoir Cáit Mhic Inneirí, co-ordinator.

Cód Iompair:  Over the coming weeks you will receive a copy of the school’s -  Code of Conduct. You are asked to read it and keep it at home for future reference.  You are asked to sign and return the contract leaflet to your class teacher.  Pupils in fifth and sixth also need to sign and return a written under taking to uphold and respect the Code of Conduct.

Parents Council:  A new parents Council was formed at the AGM in September.

Its Chairperson is Sharon Murphy. Runaí is Stephanie Murray. Cisteoir is Sharon Hennessy.  The Parents Council is comprised of 10-12 parents who meed and work in a voluntary capacity on behalf of the parental body in school.  In essence it is working for you and your child – formulating policies in conjunction with staff and supporting the Bord Bainistíochta which manages the school. It liaises with school management regarding activities at school, e.g. is part funding a science workshop this week for Rang V agus Rang V1.  You can support your child at school by supporting Parents’ Council activities.  Buíochas.
