School Calendar 2019
Our Parents Association has produced a school calendar in recent years and it has proved to be very successful not only as a fund-raiser but also as a keep-sake. We will be taking photographs of class groups in the coming weeks.
Athy College
Children from 5th and 6th class will visit Athy College on Friday week (21st). The College is holding an Open Evening on Thursday 20thSeptember for parents and students who are interested in enrolling for Sept 2019 or if you would just like to visit. All are welcome between 6 and 8 pm. Parents of children in 5th Class should now be making plans for their child’s secondary education.
Class Visits
From time to time during the year children will leave the school grounds to visit locations such as St. Anne’s Hall, Ballylinan G.A.A. pitch, St. Anne’s soccer pitch, ‘The Park’, St. Anne’s Church, the old school, the cemetery, etc. It may not be always possible to inform you in advance that these “trips” will be taking place as they will be weather dependent but children will always be back to school by collection times.
Car Parking
Thank you for your consideration in parking in an orderly manner at the school and allowing plenty of time. Please ensure that you leave staff car spaces free in the mornings. Thank you for your cooperation.
