Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Boutique Send Off for a Wonderful and Generous Gentleman, Vincent

Despite COVID, rain and builders we had a fitting celebration on site to thank Vincent for his considerable contribution to our school over the last 9 and a half years. Present were Paul Rowe, former CEO of Educate Together, Attracta Hayden, former Principal of the school, Board members past and present, PTA Chairs and dedicated members and representatives of our wonderful staff. Vincent was mightily impressed with the beautiful music performed by 4th class accompanied by Aoife on the harp and rap & song and dance written and performed especially about Vincent by 5th class. Vincent was delighted with the cards and gifts from everyone. We wish Vincent a music filled joyful next chapter in his life.



A huge thanks to Nicky, Maureen, Aoife, Mick, Colm & Áine for all the work involved.

Thank you to Lisa and Nicky for all the work on organising this.


We are currently reviewing our school’s homework plan. We value your feedback as part of this process and would appreciate if you could complete this short survey by next Tuesday by clicking here. Please complete a survey for each child in your family.

Marathon Kids Challenge – Well Done!!

Well done to 5th & 6th Class pupils have completed the last mile of the Marathon Kids challenge! While the weather was cold and wet it didn’t stop them from powering over the line to complete their 26.2 miles! Pupils enjoyed building up their running distance each week while learning about the benefits of sports & physical activity. Who knows how many more marathons they will complete!

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal

We usually collect items for food hampers for St Vincent de Paul at this time of the year. This year we invite children to wear a Christmas jumper/head gear and to bring in €1 or so. Money will be collected carefully, quarantined and given to SVdP.
