Fáilte Romhaibh ar ais: All the boys and girls are very welcome back after the Christmas break.
Míle buíochas to all of you who made donations at our Christmas Show. €1117.71 was raised on the night. Your generosity is much appreciated. As we settle back in after our Christmas break, we look forward to working with you all in 2019 in the best interests of your children.
Golf Classic Fundraiser: Our main fundraiser for 2018/19 is our Golf Classic which will take place in Roscrea Golf Course on Saturday the 18th of May. This was a huge success when it was run in 2017 and generated huge funds for the school. On Wednesday the 23rd of January @ 7.30pm a short meeting will be held in the school to plan for the fundraiser. It is vitally important that all families are represented at this meeting. As I keep repeating, such events as the Golf Classic which is being organised to raise funds for resources for your children is the responsibility of all families and not just the responsibility of a few. Many hands make light work so please turn out at the meeting and play your part.
Swimming Lessons: Swimming lessons (1st – 6th class) will start on Thursday the 10th and will run for six Thursdays. The cost per child is €35 which can be sent in by the end of February.
You are reminded of the following:
Enrolment: The school is now accepting enrolments for the 2019/20 school year. To date we have ten children who will be enrolling in Junior Infants in September. We will be sending enrolment forms and letters to these pupils to attend an Open Day later in the year. Should you know of anyone else who maybe considering beginning in Seir Kieran’s N.S., please tell them to contact the school.
Music Lessons: Ms. Murphy’s guitar classes will resume on Wednesday the 23rd of January.
Holy Communion: First Holy Communion will take place on Sunday the 26th of May at 11am.
Santa’s Visit: Míle buíochas again to all those parents who helped out in organising Santa’s visit on the last day of the term. Your efforts are much appreciated by all.
Catholic Schools Week: Catholic schools week will take place from the 27th of January to the 3rd of February. Fr. McEvoy will celebrate mass in the school on Friday the 1st of February at 9.30am in the GP Room. All are welcome to attend.
B/T Young Scientist Exhibition: Six children from 6th class will attend the B/T Young Scientist Exhibition in the RDS on this Friday, the 11th of January. The children will be presenting their findings on a test which they carried out. The children tested the effectiveness of stability balls on improving attention and speed of handwriting. The title of the test was ‘Bounce to Brilliance’. The children will also get the opportunity to view all the wonderful presentations which will be on display in the RDS. Great credit goes to Ms. Murphy for working with the boys and girls on this test. We are very thankful to those parents who will help to transport the children to the event.
Costumes/Props: We would appreciate it very much if you would return any costumes or props which belong to the school, which were used in our Christmas Show.

- Should you be satisfied for another parent to help your child change (who may be in a position to attend), you must send in a note to the relevant class teacher setting out your permission in such a case.
- If you wish to collect your child from the pool, a short note in the journal must be sent in.
