Parents evening will take place on Tuesday 19th of November. Please note that school will end at 2.45pm on that day in order for teachers to organise themselves to get the parents evening up and running quickly. Timeslots for parents evening will be issued shortly. If times or indeed the date do not suit, please contact your child’s teacher and we will do our best to accommodate you at a different time or date.
Thanks to everyone who helped us collect the Rugby token from Aldi. We have completed 4 posters which will get us 4 sets of rugby bibs for the school as well as 4 entries into the draw for €50 000. Fingers crossed.

Well done to our student council for organising a fantastic movie night on the last day of mid term. Thanks also to all parents who helped out on the night. The children were all excellently behaved and everyone had a great night. Over €200 was raised which will go towards getting some equipment for the playground. Thanks for your support.
This year the parents’ association are organising a Christmas Family Fun Tea Party in Greencastle Community Centre on Sunday 15th of December from 2pm-5pm.
