Mission Week
Dear Mams and Dads, Pupils and Staff,
I am sending a huge ‘Thank You’ to all of you for your generous support of our Mission Week 2022. We finished today with an amazing Talent Show where the girls shared their many gifts – drama, singing, playing an instrument, dancing, drama, Taekwando, gymnastics, roller skating, etc. And what can we say about the variety of costumes, one more wonderful than the next?
Thanks to all your efforts, we raised a total of €1020 which will be sent directly to a charity that works to provide education for girls.
Wishing each and every one a good break from school. Stay safe girls, especially on Hallowe’en night. We are looking forward to seeing you all again on Monday, November 7th.
Kind regards,
C. O’Reilly – Principal
Happy Diwali

Invitation
Dear Mams and Dads,
I am happy to invite you to the school next Thursday evening, October 6th for a meeting with your child’s teacher.
We are delighted to be able to hold these meetings again as they have been very worthwhile for us as teachers, and feedback from parents has been very positive. Most importantly there has been a benefit for the children so I would encourage you to come along. The main aims of the meeting are for you:
- to meet your child’s teacher and for the teacher to meet you
- to have a chance to see where your child spends her time learning
- to hear about the subjects that your child will learn this year
- to get some ideas on how you can help and support your child and her teacher
- to ask any general questions you might have
This will be a general information meeting and it is not a one-to-one meeting to discuss your child’s progress. You will be invited back to the school early in the second term for a Parent/Teacher Meeting when you will have the opportunity for an individual discussion about your child.
Tea/coffee will be available on Thursday evening from 6.45p.m. and the meeting will begin at 7p.m. sharp. It is an exciting evening for the school, and we look forward to meeting you. Your Parents Association will also hold it’s first face to face meeting for three years in the GP Room after you meet with the teachers. You will be on your way home again by 8.15p.m.
We look forward to meeting you and to working with you for the benefit of all the children.
Yours sincerely,
C. O’Reilly – Principal
