Virus Update
In school, your child is being reminded:
- How to cough or sneeze into tissues or elbow
- To bin used tissues (pupils may bring their own)
- To wash hands properly (with soap and water for 20 seconds)
- To try to avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands
Please help us to promote good health by repeating these hygiene lessons at home. It is important not to send your child to school if s/he is unwell (a cough, shortness of breath, breathing difficulties or high temperature).
If you are in any doubt please visit www.hse.ie for advice on when you may need to call a doctor. Thank you.
Quiz Season
We have had lots of pupils representing the school recently at various table quizzes. They performed very well and enjoyed themselves too. The highlight was the St. Abban’s A.C. Quiz where four of our teams made it to the final and Hannah Dunne, Grace Forrestal, Anna Harrington and Emily Murphy took the trophy as the winning team on the night. Well done to all!
