What a day 3rd class had last Friday when we walked into town and got a guided tour of Reginald’s Tower, walked around the Viking Triangle, had lunch and playtime in the People’s Park and walked back to school. The Daily Mile has definitely stood to us all year!

On Thursday we went to Copper Coast Mini Farm. In the morning we got on the bus and sat with our friends, singing songs. When we arrived at the farm we got to play in the sand and in the playground. After that we went on a tour with Laurence and we fed some of the animals. We had so much fun and lucking the sun was shining from start to finish!

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

As we get closer to the summer holidays, I am looking to update you on what’s happening in school and some other important information regarding reports, booklists for next year etc.

School Reports and Booklists

School reports will be posted out today, Friday to all families. In the envelope you will receive;

• Your daughter(s) report card
• Information on standardised tests (1^st – 6^th class)
• A school calendar for next year
• Information about booklists and photocopying and what the girls need for school for the coming school year
• Information regarding your daughters teacher next year.

As previously communicated, parents will not have to pay for school books/book rental for the coming school year. Instead, thanks to funding from the Department of Education, all books and copies will be provided to your daughter(s) free of charge on the first day of the new school year.

Please note that photocopying costs will still stand in all classes. These will be;

• €30 for girls in Junior and Senior infants
• €25 for girls in 1^st to 6^th class

It is kindly asked that you pay the appropriate amount in September. 

School Tours

School tours are in full flow and the girls have really enjoyed the tours that have happened so far.

3^rd and 4^th class had a great day out at the Wexford Heritage Park and the Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience.

Junior and Senior infants had a super day yesterday in the Copper Coast Farm.

5^th and 6^th are surfing today, Friday in Tramore.

1^st and 2^nd class will be in Lismore Heritage Centre for their tour on Monday, June 26^th.

A big thank you to the Parents Association for their help in subsidising the tours, thank you to the teachers for their work in sorting the trips and to Tracey, our secretary for all of her hard work in the office!!
