Well done to everyone involved. We are very proud of you all. Thanks to all the staff that provide this opportunity.

School Meals

We have selected a provider for school meals and are very grateful to all of our tasters in June who helped with this part of the process, pupils, parents and Board members. We will be in touch with more information shortly.

Random Act of Kindness

Thank you to Rob for donating a number of laptops to the school. We will make great use of them.

This week in senior infants we have enjoyed playing games, drawing faces through Gaeilge and doing some mindful colouring too!
