Annual School Walk Fundraiser
Thank you to all who took part in the annual school, the weather was on our side! Thanks to the parents who organised it. Funds raised will go towards outdoor play equipment which all of the current and future children will have oodles of fun with.
End of Year School Tour Details
The following school tours have been arranged for the classes. You will see an e-payment request on Aladdin for your child’s school tour. This can be paid in full or by instalments if you wish from now until the day before they are due to go on their school tour (minimum instalment is €10).
If you paid a voluntary contribution of €250 in this academic year you will not see an e-payment request on the Aladdin app. The payment of €250 covers the cost of the end of year school tour (where a child is going on two end of year tours, this covers the more expensive tour).
Please contact the school office if you have any queries in relation to this.

First class really enjoyed their sketching tour in the National Gallery today. Their favorite parts of the day were "the bus", "the moods you could see in the paintings", "making a picture called Cat Man", "drawing fast and messy" and "getting to hear the information about the paintings" Kate
Second Class enjoyed a wonderful trip to the National Botanic Gardens last week. We spotted lots of signs of spring, including beautiful flowers, frogs and even frogspawn! The pupils also had the chance to sketch the daffodils they saw around the gardens. It was a lovely day of exploring and learning outdoors.
Daniel's ALC Green having great fun this week playing with our friends! Daniel
3rd classes went to Marsh’s Library and St Patrick’s Cathedral. We did a tour of the cathedral and then completed an engineering workshop. It was a glorious sunny day!
