It is important that each application is accompanied by original birth cert and copy of same, original baptismal cert and copy of same, child's PPS number and two recent utility bills (2 months) with confirmation of the parents'/guardians' address.
A number of children were disappointed that the stock of recording frames on sale by the The Parents' Association ran out before Christmas. The Parents' Association has managed to acquire more frames and will be selling them in the school in conjunction with the enrolments on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday of next week.
A staff meeting will take place on Wednesday next from 12.30 to 2.30. During the meeting, the school staff will be receiving training on child protection issues which all school staff must undergo under the provisions of the Education Act regarding child protection.
Ceremony of Light for children for Confirmation will take place on Tuesday at 7.30p.m in the church. It is very important that all children for Confirmation and their parents/guardians attend.
I have written to parents/guardians of 6th class boys and girls advising them to monitor their child's activities on Bebo. Some parents have made the school aware that unkind and inappropriate messages are being posted on the Bebo site. Access to Bebo on the school site is blocked as part of the school's responsible use of internet policy. These reported postings are being made from children's home or from whatever other sites they have access to. I accept the school has no jurisdiction over these matters but if such actions affect a child's school attendance, their academic performance or their relationships within the school school it is of serious concern.
Mid-term break takes place February 15th to 19th. School re-opens on Monday 22nd February.
