School Closure
The school will be closed on Tuesday May 13th for in-school curriculum training for staff.
Nurture Room
A special thank you to Ms. Carragher, Ms. Murtagh, Ms. Daly and Phil for all their hard work in transforming the old staff room into a brand-new Nurture Room. So much hard work and time has been put into this space so that all children can benefit. We are so lucky to have this space available for the children to enjoy.
Hot Lunches
I have been blown away by the instant success of the new Hot Lunches in the school. Almost 96% of all meals are being consumed by the children. A special thank you to Peter Keenan who worked very hard to ensure the new kitchen would be built on time. It is great to go around the classrooms and see the children enjoying fresh, healthy food which was made that day in our new kitchen.

The whole school community is looking forward to a very special day for the children of second class who will be making their First Holy Communion on Saturday May 24th in St. Patrick’s Church Lucan at 11.45 a.m.

Ms. Mason has been leading the way with the introduction of a new English programme in the school which will begin next year. I cannot wait to see the full rollout of the UFLI programme. A very special thank you to Ms. Mason for her hard work and time which she has dedicated to this initiative as the children will greatly benefit from the UFLI programme.
Junior Infant Information Evening
There will be an introduction meeting (Parents only) on Wednesday 4th June 2025 at 7pm in the school Junior Hall, as part of your child's preparation for beginning school. This is for incoming Junior Infants 2025 parents.
At this meeting you will be updated on all aspects of school life and will be given information regarding your child's first year in school. We intend to have a familiarisation session for your child later in June so they can become familiar with their new surroundings. Details of this to be confirmed.
Principals Note
Please ensure to give extra water for your child for lunch and to apply sun cream daily. Let’s hope this magnificent weather continues for the rest of the summer.
