Dear parents,

Cumann na mBunscol: Well done to our girls' football team who lost narrowly to St Nessan's NS in Mungret yesterday. The team has improved with every game. The Under 11 boys entertain St Nessan's today. The Under 13 boys have a rest week with no fixtures.
This week, representatives of three post primary schools have visited Ballybrown NS. All children have already received a list of Open Nights as well as application forms. Closing date is Monday January 15th 2018.
Please remember that an absence note is required every time your child is absent. These are kept on file until the end of the school year. The school is obliged to make returns to Tusla in respect of every child who misses 20 days or more in a school year. A number of children are frequently late for school. Please try to ensure this does not happen.
