Welcome back to School

15/9/2014

A warm welcome back to school to all new and returning students, parents, teachers and the new Principal Mrs Dolan.

The AGM for the Parents Association(PA) will take place in October. The accounts will be available for inspection and the election of the new committee, chairperson and officers will take place. The date and time will be notified to parents shortly.

The personal accident insurance for students for the year has just been renewed. The premium has been paid by the PA and you will receive a note shortly requesting payment for each child. By renewing on line we received a good discount and the cost per child this year is €6. We would urge all parents to pay this promptly as unfortunately for the last few years some parents have not paid. This has meant that the PA has had to fund the shortfall.

Should you have any concerns that you feel the PA can help or benefit from please feel free to contact any member of the committee.

NPC - Looking for focus group on digital strategy

15/9/2014

0 Comments

 

The Department of Education & Skills is preparing a new digital strategy for schools. This strategy must address new policy opportunities arising from major developments in curricular reform, digital content and new technologies. The Department recognises that technology plays a big part in young people’s lives and that in many cases young people use technology more outside of the classroom.  Your views are important to us and we would appreciate if you could participate in one of the focus groups.   A number of sessions which are split into (i) parents of Primary school children (ii) parents of Post Primary school children will take place across the country.  Details are set out below, click the time at the venue which suits you under Primary and/or Post Primary to book.
