Mid-Term Break:
School will be closed for mid-term break for five days from Monday 12th to Friday 16th February with a normal school day on Monday 19th.
HALF-DAY:
The school will finish tomorrow, Friday 9th February, at 12:00 to facilitate parent/teacher meetings.
***CHILDREN ENTITLED TO FREE SCHOOL MEALS CAN REMAIN IN SCHOOL UNTIL 12.45 TO ALLOW THEM TO HAVE DINNER***
If it helps, other children can remain on site until 1pm but no later, please, as we’ll have no staff to supervise.
Sleep … What are you yawn about?? … Some of our children do not get enough sleep and they could yawn for Ireland. Too many of them are doing their own thing with phones / electronic devices. Please have them turn their devices off at an appropriate time. Tired children are 28% less likely to retain new information compared to the children who get enough sleep.
Confirmation / Cóineartú
As you are aware, children in Rang 7 will be making their Confirmation on Thursday 22nd February at 11:30 a.m. in St. Patrick’s Chapel, Donegall Street.
