Happy Hallowe’en!!

Dear Parents, Guardians, Pupils and Friends of the school,

I hope you are all looking forward to the Hallowe’en break. Things have been extra busy here since I last updated the School Bell. You will find out about some of our activities below as well as some information that you may need for when we return to school on Monday, November 6th.

Mission Week

We have had a very busy and hugely enjoyable Mission Week this week in our school.  The work put in by everyone is so appreciated – whether it was baking a cake or some buns, dipping apples in chocolate or collecting up old books and other items to sell in order to raise some money for a worthy cause – thank you! We have a Talent Show in school today which promises to be a great finish to the week. We are delighted to say that at total amount of €1120 was raised and the money will be donated to the Opportunity Knox Charity. Well done everyone!

Mayors Visit

We were delighted to welcome the Metropolitan Mayor, Jody Power on Friday of last week. During his visit, the Mayor provided some wise words to the girls and presented certificates for attendance and the Amber Flag that everyone, especially the Wellbeing Warriors and Mrs. Shanahan worked so hard towards last year. Thank you to the Mayor for taking the time out to visit our school – we wish him well in his role for the rest of his term!

Climate Action Week

Sarah Keane a past pupil of Good Counsel working on behalf of SLI provided a Climate Action exhibit and workshops in the entrance hall of our school last week. The girls in juniors, 1st, 2nd and 3rd received the workshops which were very well received by all. Climate Action is a very current and hugely important topic and we were delighted to get an insight from Sarah throughout the week.

October News

Dear Parents, Guardians, Pupils and Friends of the school,

I hope you all have settled in well to the new school year. We were delighted to see so many of you last
night at the Parents Information Evening. It is important for us to strengthen the relationship between the
school and parents and the Information Evening is a great opportunity to do so. Please note that
homework will start from next week – your daughter’s teacher may have gone through this with you
during the Information Evening to make it easier for everyone during the year.

School Website – Translation Tool
This website has a translation tool on the right hand side of all pages called ‘Translate Here’ – it maybe at the bottom of the page if you are on a mobile device/tablet. There are
many languages you can translate to so please use this tool especially if English is not your first language.

Cinderella
The girls from 1st to 6th class had a little surprise yesterday (Thursday) morning when they were treated
to ‘Cinderella – The Pantomime.’ The show was performed by M and M Theatrical Productions all the
way from Scotland who were superb! The girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience and got to see a live
pantomime with all the sounds, lights and action in their own school hall. They even got to see some of
the teachers perform! Well done to everyone!

FAI
We welcomed Gary Power of the FAI to do a session with 3rd and 4th class last week. It’s the first time
Gary has visited our school and he was really impressed by the girls! He even left us some footballs to
practice our skills!

Assembly
Every Friday in the GP room we hold assembly. The girls get the opportunity to hear from me, to see
what other classes are doing and to celebrate birthdays and achievements. We also hold Class Reports
where two selected classes each week show/perform to the school something that they have prepared.
Last week we had great performances from Ms. Cunniffe’s 1st and Ms. Power’s 2nd class and we look forward to the Junior and Senior Infant class reports today!

Welcome Back

Dear Parents, Guardians, Pupils and Friends of the school,

Welcome back to you all for the 2023/2024 school year!

For those of you who may be new to the school, we use our website and ‘The School Bell’ to keep the school community updated regularly on what is happening in our school and try to provide important information that maybe relevant to you.

We are very happy to welcome any new girls and families to Good Counsel. This summer, we have seen many additions to almost all our classes and of course we are delighted to have our new junior infants also. 

School drop off and collection

We are delighted with how the school drop off and collection is going. Many thanks to all for your co-operation. Please note that when you are dropping your child off in the morning, if you are driving, avoid pulling up outside the school gate as this can stop others from accessing the drop off area. Where there is space, drive your car to the top of the drop off area and you can help your daughter out of the car from there. It is also kindly asked that you use the right lane coming in so that the staff can access the car park via the left lane. Thank you.

Staff emails and information

The email addresses of teachers are below. We ask parents to email the teacher to inform them when:

  1. Your daughter is absent/sick,
  2. Your daughter is late for school,
  3. Your daughter is going to be picked up early from school.

If you have an issue and you need to talk to your daughter’s teacher, please make an appointment via email or by phoning the school.

Parents Information Night

Every year in early October, we hold a Parents Information Night where all parents are invited to the school to see their daughter’s classroom and to meet their teacher. The teacher will go through how the classroom operates and what is expected of your daughter. It is also a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have and to meet other parents.

Many thanks to Mrs. Burke for all of her hard work in preparing the girls and to Fr. O’ Shea for his help in
the preparations and for a lovely ceremony. The girls were exemplary on the night and we hope that
everyone enjoyed the occasion.

On Tuesday May 16th, 24 of the girls represented the school at the Primary School Athletics in the RSC.
The girls had a great day and got to both meet and compete against other schools. We even had a
medal winner! Thank you to Mrs. Burke and Miss. Kelly for bringing the girls…Well done everyone!


Rhythm and Shakes

1st, 5th and 6th class are currently receiving Rhythm and Shakes lessons every Monday for 6 weeks with Cathy. I know the girls really enjoy it and I was lucky enough to be treated for an excellent performancefrom 6th class last Monday. Keep up the good work!
Visit from Sr. Maria
Last Thursday we had a visit from Sr. Maria from the Ossary Diocesan Office who came to talk to the
girls about how they are getting on in school and what they are learning. As ever, she was very
impressed with all of the girls who were all on their best behaviour. Sr. Maria is always very welcome in
our school and we look forward to welcoming her back in the future.

Camogie 

Our u11 and u13 teams were in action last Monday in Kill. We played against two very strong Kill sides. The girls played exceptionally well and they never gave up. We are so proud of the girls who represent our school so well.They are also excellent role models for the younger girls and they have helped generate interest among our younger girls. A huge thank you to parents who helped us to fund the buses. Your generosity makes commuting to these matches possible. 

Amber Flag

We had a jam packed wellbeing week and we hope everyone enjoyed themselves. It was fantastic to try out activities like Zumba dancing (thank you Board of Management for funding), food tasting and cooperative games. A big thank you to the girls who led our cooperative games. They took their roles very seriously and it was a lovely morning. Another highlight of the week was Wear your Bright Colors Day. It always puts everyone in a good mood to see such bright colours around the school. We raised €304 as a result of your kindness. All money raised will go towards end of year activities. 

On a separate note, the application for Amber Flag was completed and sent off last week. We are waiting to hear back from Pieta House if we were successful so fingers crossed 🤞

Incredible Edibles
Fifth class have been working on the Agri Aware Incredibles Programme since the start of
this year. They have been learning about Irish food produce and following it from farm to
plate. They have learned about the role fresh produce plays in a healthy balanced diet. Over
the last few months they have also participated in Zoom calls with Agri Aware on topics of
food origin and healthy eating. They have been busy growing their own vegetables in the
school garden – planting potatoes, carrots, turnips, lettuce, chieves and strawberries. In the
coming weeks, we look forward to cooking and tasting the potatoes and hopefully the
strawberries will ripen soon. This week they submitted their logbook of learning to Agri
Aware in Dublin to showcase their amazing work. Well done to all our future growers and
gardeners.

Africa Day
Africa Day is celebrated on the 25 th of May. It is an annual worldwide celebration of the
people, cultures, food, music and dance from the African Continent. Our school and pupils
share many links with different countries on the continent of Africa. To mark this day in
school, we shared stories through beautiful picture books on different aspects of African
culture with all the classes. We have a very colourful flag display, created by fourth class,
showcasing all flags of the countries in Africa. There were two displays showing artifacts,
pottery, wooden animals, African patterns, famous African people and some beautiful books.
We would like to say a big thank you to our past pupil, who visited the classes in native dress
and spoke about different aspects of living in Africa. We had a wonderful day. we would like to wish all families and friends celebrating today and at the weekend a Happy Africa Day.
Miss Kelly

May Update

Dear Parents, Guardians, Pupils and Friends of the school,
I hope this message finds you all well. As we get closer to the summer we look forward to the longer
days and better weather (hopefully!). In the month of May we celebrate Mary Our Mother. We enjoyed a
special assembly with Ms. Power’s 2nd class last Friday and Ms. Kelly has arranged a beautiful May
altar in the entrance hall in the school. Thank you to all the girls who have brought in flowers for the May
altar!


Wellbeing Week
This week we have had a very busy Wellbeing Week which has been organised by Ms. Shanahan and
the Wellbeing Warriors. Each day had a different focus ranging from Mindful Monday to Friendship
Friday. We started off on Monday with Zumba for all classes thanks to the Zumba dance teacher, Rachel
Dunne. Throughout the week the classes have enjoyed activities including an intercom message daily,
mindful walks, the daily mile, breathing techniques, mindfulness colouring, meditation, a guest speaker
for 5th and 6th for healthy eating, Healthy Eating Assembly and healthy food tasting with Ms. Burkes 6th
class, cooperate/teamwork games….the list goes on. Thanks to everyone for their hard work in arranging
and participating in a busy but very successful Wellbeing Week!

To conclude Wellbeing week, tomorrow, Friday, we will have a ‘Wear your Brightest Colour Clothes Day’
where the girls are invited to dress in bright colours coming to school. We will be fundraising for ‘Wear
your Brightest Colour Clothes Day’ and any contribution you would like to make is greatly appreciated. All
funds will be used towards activities for the girls.


First Holy Communion
Congratulations to the girls in 2nd class who made their Communion on Saturday. Thank you to Ms.
Power who had everything perfectly prepared and to Fr O’ Shea for his help and a beautiful mass. Well
done to the girls themselves who were so good, as ever on the day. Fortunately, the weather was nice to
us and we hope that everyone celebrating the Communion had a lovely day.


Primary Schools Athletics
We are holding running trials for the girls in 1stto 6th class as Primary Schools Athletics will take place in
the Regional Sports Centre (RSC) on Tuesday coming. Best of luck to the girls who have qualified to go.
If your daughter has qualified, she will receive a permission slip which is to be signed and returned to the
school.


Weather

The weather is gradually improving and just a reminder to you to please ensure that your child has plenty
of drinks to keep them hydrated in school and that we encourage you to apply suncream to your
daughter before school and for them to wear a hat also.


In Service Day
Reminder: The school will be closed for the girls next Friday (not tomorrow), May 19th for teacher In Service training. We will reopen on Monday, May 22nd.

Photographs
We have arranged to have photographs taken of the whole school on Friday, May 26th. This will include
individual photos, photos with siblings and class photos. Information will go out to parents after regarding the photos including proofs (examples of the photos taken) and how to purchase, if you wish to do so.


Traffic Disruption
BAM (the company carrying out the works near our school) have informed me that there will be some
disruption on the Abbey road next week. They have informed me that they will try to avoid disruption
during pick up and drop off times.
Given the nature of the works that are going to take place in Ferrybank in the foreseeable future, we will
do our best to let you know of disruptions/changes regarding traffic that effect our school. As the weather improves, it could be a good time to leave the cars at home and walk to and from school with your child(ren) especially if you live nearby.

Camogie

Our U11 camogie team were in action last week in Kill. They played three games against Newtown, St. Saviours and Kill.  We won 2 games and played out a close draw.  They will be back in action in a few weeks. They girls played really well and did a brilliant job representing our school.

Congratulations

Finally, a big congratulations to Ms. Eilís Walsh our 5th class teacher who got married last Saturday. We
hope you had a great day and wish both you and your new husband many years of health and happiness.


Yours sincerely,
J. Nagle – Principal
