Bike Disco

To celebrate Bike Week, we will be having a Bike Disco this Friday, May 15th!  Thanks to the Green School Committee for organising this that happens to fall during our Active School Week.  Students are encouraged to cycle or scoot to school and join in the fun.  Please note that all students must wear a helmet in order to participate in the disco.

Survey on Wellbeing

For the past three years, the schools focus for self-evaluation has been on Wellbeing.  Just as we started the process, we are surveying staff, pupils and parents regarding our efforts to address wellbeing.  We’re asking all parents to complete a short survey.   

Calendar

Attached you will find the academic calendar for the coming year.  The major things to note are that our first day of school will be Tuesday, 1st September 2026.  Other than the standard holidays, we will be closed for the first week in May.  The final day of the academic year will be Wednesday, 30th June.  We anticipate at least two closures at some point in the school year to facilitate ongoing support for teachers in implementing the new Primary Curriculum Framework, and as soon as these are scheduled we will inform parents.

Educate Together Trivia Competition

Two teams represented the school at the annual Terri Claffey Connacht Educate Together Trivia Competition.  It was hosted at Galway Educate Together NS.  We are delighted that one of our teams won the competition, and the perpetual trophy returns to our school for another year.

Families Leaving School

Please let Matt or Claudia know as soon as possible if your child will not be returning to the school next year.

Spring Fair

Sincere thanks to the Parent-Teacher Association and especially the volunteer parents, staff members and past pupils who made the Spring Fair another great success.  It is the generosity and commitment of the volunteers who make such an event possible.  In addition to being a wonderful day for our school community to spend time together, we managed to raise well over €5000 for our school community and surpassing last year’s total by several hundred euro. 

Family Trivia Quiz

Due to various circumstances, we have rescheduled our family trivia quiz to Friday, 12th June at the school starting at 18.30.  More details will follow, and we hope to see many of you joining in the fun.
