Dear parents,
Last week, all classes received details of school tours. All classes go on tour on Thursday June 21st. You received the details in advance so that families can budget, especially families with more than one child in school. I am conscious of the demands parents face all through the school year.
First Holy Communion is just a month away. It takes place on Saturday May 19th at 11 a.m. in Ballybrown Church.
School will be closed on Friday May 25th as it is in use as a polling station for the Referendum on that day.
Today, we enjoyed the first reading of our School Story for 2018. All classes contributed to this story during Book Week. Ask your child about it!
Ballybrown NS represented Limerick City in the county final of the INTO Mini Sevens hurling competition in Mick Neville Park, yesterday. Ballybrown NS defeated South champions Scoil Dean Cussen and West champions Mahoonagh NS but lost to Doon CBS in the last game. Our team did us proud. Thanks to Mr Lordan for training the team.
The Parents Association has organised a guest speaker to attend the school. This will take place on next Monday 23rd April. Our guest speaker Ger Brick will be delivering a 90 minute Anti-Cyberbullying/Internet Safety Workshop to pupils of 4th class to 6th class during school hours. A letter of parental consent has already been distributed to the relevant parents. He will also provide a Parent Information Evening at 7 pm that evening in the School Halla. Parents of ALL pupils in the school are invited to attend. The talk incorporates video, guidelines, practical demonstrations and discussion, providing parents with practical non-technical information and guidance for keeping their children and families safe online. Light refreshments will be served also.
Family Mass:
There will be a Family Mass in Ballybrown Church on Sunday 29th of April at 10a.m. We will have a practice for this Mass on Wednesday 25th April in the Church from 5.50-7.00pm. All welcome. For more information, please contact Julianne McCormack @ 087-9478123.
