Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

We had a lovely celebration of our amazing ANAs today who we value hugely. Each of them have a significant impact on enabling and supporting children to access and engage with their school day.

What an eventful full week with lots of triumphs big and small. Well done to all on multiple sporting achievements, see more below. Thanks to all the staff for the time taken to organise and facilitate.

A number of classes throughout the school have a new member and It is wonderful to see them settling in very well and we welcome their families to our community.

Child Protection Procedures 2025

We are reviewing our Risk Assessment and Child Safeguarding Statement as per new procedures. I would love to meet with a focus group of parents as part of the changes and our annual review. Please email ([email protected]) or let me know in person if you are able to spare 15 minutes some morning in the coming weeks.

Autumn Fair - Sunday 18th October 2026

Primary Cross-Country Event

Well done to all our runners who took part in the Dublin Primary Schools’ Cross-Country in Albert College Park yesterday!

There were some fantastic performances, with a brilliant collection of trophies and medals coming back to school. We were so proud of the effort, determination and resilience shown by all the children, particularly in pushing themselves and keeping going when the races got tough. It was also lovely to see the encouragement and support they gave each other throughout the day.

A special congratulations to all our trophy and medal winners:
