A New School Year
Hello Everyone and a very warm welcome back to school. It was great to see the girls today and to know that they were happy and looking forward to another year of learning and fun.
We extend a very special welcome to our new pupils and their families, and to our new staff members, Ms. Dee Kissane (Teacher – 5th Class), Mrs. Clare Burke (Teacher – 3rd Class) and Ms. Jean Evans (SNA).
Our first newsletter for this school year will be published on Thursday so keep an eye out for lots more news.
Summer is Here
As we say farewell to Ms. Ryan, we congratulate Miss Monica Kelly who has been appointed as the school’s next Deputy Principal.
Thank you to everyone in our school community for your wonderful support during the past year. We look forward to seeing all of you again on Monday 3rd September. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and the break from school.
Here Comes the Sun!
The weather forecast is for very hot, sunny weather over the next few days. As it is the last week of the school year, the girls may wear their school polo shirts and school shorts instead of uniforms for the week. Anyone who does not have a school shorts may wear an appropriate pair of shorts instead.
Remember to put on lots of suncream, wear a hat and bring lots of water to drink so that you can stay safe and enjoy the sunshine.

Welcome to Our School
Today, we had some lovely visitors to our school. The girls who will join us in Junior Infants in September came along to meet their teacher Ms. Fogarty. They were all excited to be here and they had a wonderful time listening to a story, colouring, singing and dancing in their classroom. We are delighted that they are joining our school community and we offer a big Good Counsel welcome to the girls and their families. We look forward to meeting all of you again on September 3rd.
