First to Sixth Class 2022-2023

Today, the children who will be in First to Sixth Classes next September, will bring home a Book Rental Contract. Our Book Rental Scheme covers the cost of all text books, extra reading materials and resources, and access to online learning platforms. We are keeping costs to an absolute minimum and we encourage everyone to participate. This year, we have moved to an online payment system which we hope will be much more convenient for parents. So, what do you need to do next?

1. In the next day or so, you will receive an email with details of how you can register on the Databiz Portal (www.databizsolutions.ie) to take part in the Book Rental scheme.
2. Once you have registered, you will receive a request to make an online payment.
3. Make the payment.
4. Sign the Book Rental Contract that your child brings home today and return it to her teacher.

This is a new system for all of us, so if you have any trouble, please contact the school office on 051-832984.

Fun Sports Day

Our school Fun Sports Day will take place (weather permitting) on Friday June 10^th in the school grounds.Due to the cost of hiring buses, we have decided not to book any school tours this year. So, to make our Sports Day a little more fun, we have hired some inflatable activities that the girls can enjoy, together with the usual Sports Day events. To cover the costs, we are asking each child to contribute €3. This may be sent to your child’s teacher any time before June 10^th. Unfortunately, this year, we cannot invite parents to join us for the day but we know the girls will have lots of fun.
