Our Croke Park Day for all staff will take place as we complete the final preparations for the start of the new term. Classrooms will be ready, resources in place, and the excitement will be building for another great school year.
We will also be delighted to welcome our new Junior Infant children and their families for their Induction Morning. The children will have the opportunity to meet their teachers and SNAs, explore their new classroom, and get to know their new classmates.
For the first seven school days, Junior Infants will finish at 12:00 noon each day. From Monday, 8th September, they will begin full school days, finishing at 1:30 pm.
It promises to be a lovely start to their school journey, and we look forward to seeing them grow and thrive in the months ahead.
The first day of term, Thursday 28th August, for all our students will be a special occasion and we will be delighted to welcome everyone back to school.
There will be a wonderful buzz in the air as we greet familiar faces and introduce some new members of staff to our school community.
A particularly exciting development this year will be the relocation of our senior class, 5th and 6th, to The Brockagh Centre, where they will enjoy a fresh and stimulating learning environment. We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead!
Our Halloween break will run from Monday, 27th October to Friday, 31st October.
We will finish the first half-term in style with a Fancy Dress-Up Day on Friday, 24th October – a fun way for pupils and staff to get into the Halloween spirit before the holidays.
Exciting New School Extension Underway
We are delighted to share that work has begun on our brand-new two-storey school extension. This exciting project will enhance our facilities and provide even more opportunities for teaching and learning.
On the ground floor, the development will include a specially designed autism classroom with an adjoining outdoor space, creating a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for our pupils.
The first floor will feature an additional classroom and a new Special Education Teaching (SET) room, providing much-needed space to meet the needs of all learners.
During the construction period, the school hall will be out of use. We appreciate everyone’s flexibility as we make temporary arrangements to ensure activities and events can continue wherever possible.
These are exciting times for our school community, and we thank you for your patience and understanding if the school surroundings look a little different while construction is underway—great things are coming!
