Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Online Autumn Fair Raffle

Walk to School

Next week is walk to school week and we are promoting one of our Green School slogans, ‘If it’s not too far, leave the car’. The pupils will be carrying out some activities relating to this including some assessment of efforts made next week.


Remember options include walking, cycling, scooting, skating and park ‘n stride. We are fortunate to have a designated park ‘n stride area just past the Ballygall/Griffith Avenue junction on the right.



With this in mind and the ever changing weather it would be great if children could come to school with rain gear.

Really well done to Ben Lynch, past pupil, and brother of Guy who co-authored an insightful and useful article in last Saturday’s Irish Times.
