And More!

Daniel’s JI having great fun exploring different ways to problem solve with the new maths curriculum 😊

Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,


We’ve had a lovely start to the new school year and thanks for all your cooperation and support.



Esmay, from Ranga 4, participated in the World Street Dance championship and participated in the solos, duos and group dance. She came 5th in the World in the Duos with her partner. We’re all super proud of her. Esmay will preform at the next school assembly.

BOM Changeover

In November a new Board of Management will be formed serving a term of up to 4 years. This is open to all members of the parent body. Food for thought for now, further information to follow.

  • 1st, 2nd, 6th and Beccy’s 5th classes park their bikes/scooters under the trees at the side of the school. Please keep the path clear for Fire Exit. Additional bike and scooter racks will be provided in the next few weeks.

Note: Soccer Tots has begun in the school hall on Saturdays. See below leaflet if you are interested in this for your pre-schoolers, all enquiries see leaflet.

Reminder:

  • Please arrive to school on time as many classes are doing circle time and other learning activities at 8:40am, coming in later than this disrupts the whole class learning and means your child is missing out.

  • St Aidans CBS Boys Secondary school will have an open evening on Thursday 21st September 6pm – 8:30pm.
