To raise some much needed funds for the development of a new AstroTurf pitch at our school we are running a Big Money Draw. We hope that everyone will support this fundraiser. The pitch will be a huge asset to our school – it will provide an all weather terrain for lots of sporting activitites for all of the children. See this page for more details and how to enter.

The meeting was followed by the election of 2 parent representatives to the Board of Management. Congratulations to Emma Caffrey and John Finney who were elected to the board. And thank you to Ciara McQuaid who stepped down from her position after serving a 4-year term.

MONTHLY NO UNIFORM DAY

We are continuing to run the monthly No Uniform Day that started in 2022.

It will take place on the last Friday of each month. The cost per child will be just €2 with a €4 cap per family.

The children can wear their own clothes to school on these days and all monies raised will go towards something that benefits all the children.
