May is just around the corner and we are delighted that training is returning! We are wishing you all the best on the return to GAA and for those of you thinking of joining a club, here is a snip of what there is to look forward to from one of our local clubs. Whatever sport or club - get out, get active and have fun. Enjoy everyone :)
"We are delighted with the response to our National SOW week. We have had a big increase in the number of people walking, cycling, scooting and doing park & ride/walk coming to school, which is fantastic for the environment and also for reducing the amount of traffic on our roads.
Out of 196 students attending school, 66 either walked, cycled or scooted on Monday - 34% of our population; 88 on Tuesday - 45%; 105 on Wednesday - 52%; giving a total of 259 students over the three days so far this week.
A big 'thank you' to all of those who have made the effort. We hope that the walking, cycling, scooting or park & ride/walk to school will continue on after our Easter Holidays, with the safety of everyone at the forefront".

Parents seeking to enrol children are requested to complete an Enrolment/Application form. New Junior Infants and their parents meet with the Junior Infant class teacher at the end of June prior to classes starting in September. The Board of Management determines the maximum number of children in each classroom, bearing in mind. Size/available space in classroom. Educational needs of children with special educational/behavioural needs. Department of Education and Science maximum class average directives. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
