Welcome to our school website

We are currently updating our home page and ask for your patience as we do so.
Many thanks.

While school life continues to be different in terms of  new routines and practices, we all love being back together, fully committed to our work and the curriculum and reconnecting with all our friends. With three weeks of the new half- term behind us already, there is so much work being done throughout the school as evident from the pictures below.

The girls in the senior classes really enjoyed the 'virtual presence' of the well known scientist Dr Scott Ziglinsky with his bag of experiments and scientific secrets to help us mark National Science week last week.

Parents Association Treasure Trove

The Parents Association wish to thank all those who contributed to this week's Treasure Trove Collection and a big well done to the Junior Infants who won the prize for the weight of their treasure on Friday..
Thanks to the work of Ms Collins, Mrs Moloney and the Student Council, we all got into the 'spooky spirit' of Halloween with their Halloween Decorations Display and the fun we all had around that time. 
Blessings from Fr Gerry for the re-opening of our school

This year, due to the Covid-19 restrictions, our Parent /Teacher meetings will take place virtually using Google Meet from the 25th of November to the 8th of December and we look forward to 'meeting' with all our parents at their respective times.
Normally at this time of the year, Dunlaoghaire Rathdown County Council invite children from primary schools to enter their annual Christmas Decoration Competition but in its absence, the Green Committee here in school are organising a similar event. Pupils from all classes are invited to get their 'creative hats' on and design a Christmas decoration made from recycled materials for our Christmas Tree which we hope to have in pace the week of the 7th of December. Winners will be selected from each class and all the decorations entered will be hung on the tree for us all to admire.
While the Covid -19 pandemic had led to unprecedented disruptions in all aspects of life, it certainly hasn't stopped us from reading and here in school we continue to encourage everyone to read.
Thanks to the work and commitment of Mrs Parkinson,  several of our classes will be attending the online workshop with Mags Harnett entitled 'Depicting Diversity' which aims to celebrate diversity in our society and focus on the book 'Colour of People'.
Thanks to the foresight and vision of Ms Doyle and the practical support from Ms Ni Fhaoláin, Ms Cumiskey, Ms Murray and Ms Boyd, we are all reaping the benefits from using Google Classroom in our school. Our virtual assemblies every Friday since we reurned to school through Google Meets are keeping us all connected even though we remain apart in our classrooms.
