Dear parents,
I wish to bring the following to your attention.
Internet Safety is a topic greatly in the news. Many children speak in school of playing the online game 'Fortnite'. The PGEI rating is 12 years old. I advise parents to read about this game by following this link. https://www.webwise.ie/parents/explained-what-is-fortnite/
Reminder: Children are supervised from 9 a.m. to 9.15 a.m. each morning. Parents are requested not to bring children to school prior to 9 a.m. as the school will not be responsible for them. As all children assemble in the same yard, children line up in readiness for school. This is not playtime.
School GAA: Ballybrown NS contested both the boys and girls football finals in the Gaelic Grounds this week. The girls team lost narrowly but performed very well. The boys had better fortune and defeated our neighbours Gaelscoil an Ráithín by 2-2 to 0-2. A special thanks to the teachers involved in preparing all our school teams.
