BOOK BILLS/RENTAL: Once again thanks to all who have paid. Any refunds due to parents who qualify for the book grant will be paid this week.
INFANTS: Our new infants have settled in well and will remain in school until 2pm from tomorrow (Thursday 15th). The children will line up at the back of the school from tomorrow morning. The first bell goes at 9.15 am, so as close to that as possible will be helpful. Please remember the extra lunch, but not too much!
POSITIVE PARENT PARTNERSHIP (Triple P): The group spoke to our new parents in June and our Parents Association has invited them back to provide a training course open to all parents in the autumn. The course will run over 4 nights (October 6th, 13th, 20th and 27th with a follow up on November 17th). We would highly recommend the course.
HOMEWORK CLUB: The club is back this week and it is great to see the enthusiasm.
TIN WHISTLE: Classes resume this week as follows:
Thursday: children who have never played before.
Friday: all other children.
FOOTBALL: Competitions are now in full swing. The girls met a very strong Abbeyleix team last Thursday and will hope for better luck when they visit The Heath this week.
The boys have 2 wins out of 2 after another impressive performance in Durrow yesterday. They will travel to Gaelscoil Phortlaoise next week. Many of the boys are part of the Ballylinan G.F.C. team which will meet Killeshin next Tuesday in O’Moore Park in the U12 County Final. We wish them well and hope they will do us all proud. This group has improved greatly over the summer months and congratulations to all involved. Fingers crossed!
FOUND: A sum of money was found in the junior infant yard this morning (Wednesday). Please contact the school office.
