🌟 Our First Ever Student Council!
We are delighted to announce that we have elected our very first Student Council!
The children in First and Second Class worked hard preparing election posters, and each class held a secret ballot to elect their representatives. There was great excitement throughout the election process!
Our newly elected Student Council will hold its first meeting in October. We are very proud of all the children who took part and can’t wait to hear all the wonderful ideas our new council members have for our school!
📢 School Closures – October 14th and 21st
Please note that our school will be closed on Wednesday, October 14th and Wednesday, October 21st, due to industrial action involving the INTO and Fórsa trade unions.
The industrial action is part of a wider dispute concerning pay and working conditions for school staff. We understand that these closures may cause inconvenience for families and appreciate your understanding and support.
As a result of the industrial action our open day will be postponed until further notice.
