It's hard to believe the month of June is upon us already and the end of another school year beckons.
Our 6th Class girls are making the most of their last few weeks in primary school, while at the other end of the school, our Junior Infants girls have almost completed their first full year in 'big school'! Its been a very busy year indeed and it's not over yet!
Inter- School Golf OutingWell done to the 14 girls from 6th Class who participated in the annual Inter -Schools Golf Outing against St Mary's BNS which was held in Leopardstown on Tuesday. It was a fantastic day out and the girls played exceptionally well after all their dedicated commitment to the golf training programme over the last eight weeks.
Thanks to all those who supported the 6th Class end of Year Sale of Work and special thanks to the 6th Class girls and the dedicated team of parents who helped make it all happen. All funds raised from the sale will go towards their two chosen charities for this year, Crumlin Childrens Hospital and Light it Up Gold for children suffering with cancer.
What a great week we've had to mark and celebrate Active School's Week here in our school, with the Birdie Golf Training for all classes Wake Up Shake Up, Play ball, the Senior Side Spots Day, Spike Ball, the Scooter Fashion Show, our very special assembly and our much loved sports quiz all of which were thoroughly enjoyed by the girls themselves. Unfortunately, due to the poor weather conditions on Thursday the Junior Sports Day had been postponed until next week but apart from that it was a massive success all round.
A huge, huge thanks to Mrs Parkinson for all her hard work and time in coordinating the full week of activities and ensuring it all ran seamlessly.

In April 2016 the Minister for Justice and Equality commenced the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Acts 2012 to 2016 (the Vetting Act). It has put in place statutory requirements for the Garda vetting of persons involved in working with children or vulnerable persons, including those working in schools.
In line with our own good safety practices and procedures, if you think you might like to get involved in any aspect of your child's life in school you must be vetted. We ask that you download the application form and return it with two forms of ID, one containing a photo of yourself which, Fiona in the office will photocopy in your presence, to initiate the application process.
