Hi everyone I’m delighted to announce that we have got funding from the DDLETB (our patron) for more adult education classes. I am very excited by the new Irish language classes for beginners. This will really help people with little or no Irish to help their children with Irish homework as they go through the school. All adult education classes will be up and running from next week. All classes will run in the Parents Room from 9-11 a.m. The timetable is as follows: Monday – Personal Development Tuesday – Irish language Wednesday – Arts and Crafts Thursday – English language If you are interested in joining these excellent courses, please let Karen know ASAP on 014133080. As we are a Community National School, we open these classes up to the whole community so let your friends know if you think they would be interested. Thanks...Lá Glas 2016
What a fantastic day we had for Lá Glas on Tuesday. A huge thank you to all of the parents for supporting the event. We were delighted to see such a big turnout. The children in Second Class taught us some interesting facts about the Irish flag. The Céilí Mór was a huge success – who knew there were such talented singers and Irish dancers out there!

We had such a busy day yesterday! After the parents and family members went home, the children participated in our ‘Proclamation Day’. It was a very special event where we proudly raised the Irish flag and sang our national anthem. The children read out the proclamation that was written by our 1st and 2nd class pupils. This was a lovely exercise where the children thought deeply about their hopes and dreams for our country into the future. It was clear to see the impact of our Human Rights Education programmes on their thinking in relation to this. Please see what they wrote below: To all Irish people and people living in Ireland, including children. We are asking you to make Ireland a great place to live, where it is safe for everyone. Ireland is a good place to live but we want to make it better. In 100 years time, we hope that everything in our proclamation comes true. Our hopes are that: All friendly people are welcome to our country. They have the right to be free and the responsibility to help make Ireland a better place. Everybody has the right to be treated nicely and fairly. Everyone has a responsibility to help others to be happy. Nobody is allowed to discriminate against anybody based on any of the Nine Grounds of Discrimination or how much money they have. People have proper homes and clothes. We have proper schools that let children of all beliefs in. Every religion or belief is treated fairly. In Ireland all people are able to pray or practise their belief. Ireland is peaceful. ...Notice Board
