Letter May 17th

 

 

 

17-5-2012.

Dear parents,

                    I wish to bring the following to your attention.

First Holy Communion will take place in St Joseph’s Church next Saturday May 19^th. at 11 a.m. Final preparations are under way. It is important that all choir members attend.  School will end for Second class pupils at 12.30 p.m. tomorrow. We wish Fr O Connor a speedy recovery from his recent illness.

Tomorrow, Friday, is Jersey Day. To mark the beginning of the Munster Senior Championships this weekend, we ask all pupils to wear a jersey to school, (Preferably GAA or  a green garment). There is no money involved! Details on http://munster.gaa.ie/2012/05/16/munster-gaa-jersey-day-may-18th/

All classes will go on School Tour next Thursday May 24^th. Details overleaf.  All monies to be paid to your child’s teacher by tomorrow morning, please.

On Tuesday June 12^th, the school’s Parents Association has organised a speaker, Ms Ann O Sullivan, to speak to parents on Transition from Primary to Secondary School. This will be of special interest to parents of pupils in 5^th. and 6^th. classes.

Topics will include choosing a post primary school, what to expect in post primary etc. This seems like a very relevant topic and I commend the Parents Association for this initiative. Further details nearer the event.

Best wishes go to our Under 13 hurling & camogie teams who have reached the semi-finals of the Cumann na mBunscol competitions which will be played next Monday and Friday respectively. I wish Mairead Hannon a speedy recovery from her injury.

Please remember that normal school activity will go on right up to end of term on June 29^th. Any easing- off in Homework, Healthy Eating, correct uniform and neat appearance will be dealt with promptly.
