Many thanks.

It's both hard to believe and great to acknowledge that we are almost at the mid- term break and have got to this point safe and well. While school life has taken on new routines and challenges, we have all loved being back in school, fully committed to our work and the curriculum and reconnecting with all our friends.
Here's to continued good health and positive well-being for us all......

'One Million Children Praying the Rosary' 

Like so many other children right across the world, we too joined together in prayer today by reciting the Rosary for worldwide unity and peace as explained here in this short video.
We have all really enjoyed celebrating the fifteenth annual Maths week here in school since Monday the 12th of October. Despite the huge disappointment of not having the parents visit the classes this year due to the current restrictions the girls got to participate in a whole range of activities such as outdoor maths trails,  broadcasts from maths TV and enjoy the fun and excitement of daily maths puzzles and activities. It has been a great week in promoting and encouraging us all to think positively about maths and simply seeing the fun we can have around it. 

A Sad farewell to Ms Doyle

It was with great sadness we bid farewell to our much loved teacher, colleague and friend, Ms Doyle on Friday the 9th of October. Ms Doyle brought so much vision, creativity and passion to her teaching role over the last 21 years and a deep understanding of the pupils who she taught. While she will be sorely missed by everyone here in school we joined together, albeit at a distance, to celebrate with her and wish her long years of good health and happiness for her retirement. 
Our school will be closed for the Mid-term break next week Mon 26th - Friday 30th inclusive. we hope you all have a well-earned rest and stay safe and we look forward or welcoming you all back to school on Monday the 2nd of November.

There are a few things that will set this Halloween 2020 apart from all other years — most notably, the Coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions around it, but that doesn't mean Halloween is cancelled for us here in school. Instead, we will get to celebrate it by keeping our social distance and keeping everyone safe. With that in mind, the Student Council are inviting everyone to get their creative hats on and design their own Halloween Decoration for our Halloween Display. We are also inviting the girls to dress up next Friday and get in the 'spirit' of this spooky season. While we won't get to parade around the yard for the parents to see us as we did before, we will get to see one another at our virtual assembly. So it promises to be a great day for us all.
Blessings from Fr Gerry for the re-opening of our school 
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. 
Just a reminder that all payments to the school can be made through easy payments.
