Book Rental/School Contribution (Costs): Thanks to everyone who has paid. Through the book rental scheme we have tried to keep cost as low as possible. The benefit to families is often greater in the senior classes.
As explained before the school contribution pays for the services provided for your children such as materials for art/science, assessment tests, photocopying, 24 hour personal accident insurance, etc. As we have to pay many of these costs in advance we would appreciate payment as soon as possible please.
Book Grant: Families who qualify for the “Back to School Clothing Allowance” are also eligible for the book grant. Please let us know.
School Tracksuits: Tracksuits ordered during the summer are now ready for collection.
Cumann na mBunscol Football League: Competitions begin this week with the girls hosting Abbeyleix on Thursday while the boys are at home to Mountmellick on Friday
Girls U12 Football: Congratulations to the girls who were crowned county champions last Saturday. In very bad conditions they defeated Park/Ratheniska by the narrowest of margins 3-1 to 1-6. Well done to all concerned!
Parking: A reminder to parents that the junior playground is open for parking after school (3pm).
Healthy Lunch: As part of our policy we are asking that parents do not send sweets, crisps (and similar snacks), chocolate, fizzy or energy drinks to school please. We would also ask parents to be careful about the quantity of food they are sending in as children feel they need to finish everything.
