We welcome to our school our new teacher Ms. Niamh Hickey.
Hallowe’en Dress Up
Hallowe’en is rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Pupils may dress in Hallowe’en costume on Friday October 27th. Masks are not permitted as masks can be frightening. In choosing your costume we ask you to consider your child’s health and safety at school. We would like every child to enjoy the dress up and a voluntary donation of €1 per child will go to our local St. Vincent de Paul.
