Junior Infant Applications

The closing date for applications for Junior Infant places for Sept. 2008 is Tuesday February 19th.
This is the date for all Junior Infant applications whether from parish, family or outside the parish.  These applications will be processed and replies sent out by the end of February.  If you have changed your address since your original application, you must inform the school, in writing, of the new address and enclose a proof of residence e.g. utility bill etc. Until we have written confirmation of your change of residence, all post will be sent to the original address as on your application form. If your child is quite young and you wish to defer your application until 2008 please contact the school also.

Application forms can be obtained from the school from next Monday Feb. 18th.
Places are limited. If you need any information or wish to discuss this option contact Ms Comerford.

Parents’ Association

After much work and research by the Parents’ Association, the new tracksuit for Sept. 2008 has been chosen. It is similar to the ones which were displayed last term. Pauls on High St. will continue to supply the tracksuit. We will keep you informed as to when they will be taking orders for September.

School Grounds

1. The bed at the front of the school is being refreshed at the moment. We are grateful to the group of parents: Helen Doheny, Anne Marie O’Neill, Tom Ryan, Eddie Power, Benny George, Sarah Phelan and Ken Prendergast who helped in clearing and preparing the bed last Saturday.

            Mrs Delehanty and her 4th class look forward to planting it after the midterm break.
Please do not walk or run through the shrub bed.
            By keeping to the path and hard surface in this area, we can give the plants and delicate                   shoots a good chance to grow and flourish.

1. The Board of Management and Parish are jointly funding the replacement of the gutters and down pipes on the hall. We are waiting for a starting date from the company engaged.

1. The Board is also researching options with regard to the wild area at the end of the school yard on the Freshford Rd. side. Improvements in this area along with the work on the hall should also alleviate the flooding which occurs there.
