Happy New Year to everyone from all the staff in our school; may it be a healthy and happy year for everyone.
We are coming to the time of year when we like to welcome back some of our past pupils on work experience. Thomas Duffy will be joining us at the end of the month.
Our architect, Ms. Ann Blackwell, sent us the planning notice to put up at the front of the school for the Parents’ Room and new Learning Support/Resource Room. Hopefully it will be going to tender soon and the building will commence when the weather improves.
The children in 5th and 6th class are taking part in an Enterprise Project called Bí Gnóthach, it’s a real learning experience for all of us and we’ll keep you up to date on the progress in the next notes.
When the class has decided what business they want to set up, market and hopefully make a profit from, it will involve some market surveying, business strategies, team work and financing. It should be very interesting. They have given us €100 to get started!
We will be involved in the Ecumenical Service again this year, for Christian Unity week, which will take place on Sunday 22nd January in St. Maelruain’s C. of I., in Tallaght Village.
The individual Parents meetings will take place before the mid-term break.
The mid-term break is Thurs 14th and Fri 15th February.
Iris McMenamim, Principal
