April 2024
Dear Parents,
Dates for your Diary:
Tuesday the 16th of April: FAI 5-A-Side Girls Final
Monday the 29th of April: Board of Management meeting @ 8pm
Monday the 6th of May: Bank Holiday – school closed
Monday the 17th of June: 150 Year Celebration
Fáilte Romhaibh Ar Ais: We welcome all back after the Easter Break. The last term promises to be very busy with lots of things going on.
Fencing Works: Much needed fencing works were carried out on the school grounds over the Easter Break. While the metal fencing is expensive, it is much better than the timber fencing which is in situ. We thank Dan Delaney, who oversaw that all was completed to a very high standard. It would be the hope of the school to try and do a section of this fencing each year, to replace the timber fencing.
Girls FAI Soccer Finals: We wish our girls soccer team and Ms. Murphy all the very best when they take part in the FAI Soccer Finals Day on Tuesday the 16th of April. It is a great achievement to make the Finals Day and is indeed the first time we have qualified for a Soccer Finals Day. Best of luck girls.
Cumann na mBunscol: Cumann na mBunscol competitions in hurling and camogie will take place over the next few weeks. As soon as we have dates for matches and blitzs, we will let you know. Weather has been terrible and pitch conditions are poor. In so far as we can, we will try to get down to the field to practice at lunchtimes. Children from 3rd class up who are going down should bring in a gear bag with a small towel, a change of bottoms and a change of socks, as well as their hurleys and helmets.
Well-Being Plan: As part of our Well-Being Plan, we will be looking at children’s use of technology – (smartphones, tablets, etc). We will be surveying you, for your thoughts and perspectives. You will receive this survey via google forms in the next couple of weeks. When we issue it to you, we will notify you.
School Tour: Our school tours will take place on Wednesday the 19th of June. In order to accurately price the tour, we need to know what children if any are not in a position to attend on this day (In other words, do you have holidays booked?) If your child(ren) will not be attending, please let us know as soon as possible. Thank you.
Open Evening: We currently have 11 children beginning in Junior Infants in September 2024. We will be inviting the parents of these children to attend our Open Evening which will take place on Monday the 13th of May at 6.30pm. Should you know of any other parents of children who are due to begin Primary School in September and who may wish to view Seir Kieran’s NS, feel free to invite them to come along. Simply ask them to notify us of their intention to come.
GAA Coaching: GAA Coaching for all classes will resume tomorrow Friday the 12th of April and will take place each Friday from her on in. All classes are to bring in the gear, which has been set out in previous newsletters.
150 Year Celebration: Bishop Coll would be unable to attend and lead our celebration of mass for our 150 Year Celebration on the Friday14th of June. He has expressed a real desire to be at the celebration and to accommodate this, we will now hold our celebration on Monday the 17th of June. Further details of this will follow in later communications.
Clothes Collection; We will be holding a clothes collection in May. Please hold onto clothes for this collection as it does raise funds for our school. Spread the word amongst your friends and neighbours.
