The new school e-mail address is mail@stcanices.net.  All our activities from this past term are to be seen on the website. It also features class photos and is well worth a visit.

Fund Raising
Our final Silver Circle draw was held today. A total of  €12,020  was raised. This is our biggest fund raiser of the year so mile buiochas to everyone who contributed so generously. Full list of winners on website.

Head Lice
Some classes are reporting severe problems with head lice. Please check your child’s head regularly and take appropriate action if you find head lice or nits.

Sport
Gaelic
For the first time this year, two teams were entered in the Boys Primary Schools’ League. Our B panel  finished 3rd in their section after a great win over Danesfort. Unfortunately, only the top two teams qualify for the semi-finals. Well done to all for a great campaign and I’m sure most of these players will be featuring again in the future. Our A panel have qualified for their semi-final and this will be played after Halloween. Best of luck to them. Thanks to Mr Hanrick, Mr Crowley, Mr Hoyne and  Mr Lennon for their work in coaching these teams.
