Non-Uniform Day
Tomorrow will be a non-uniform day for the children.

Bicycles/Scooters
We must again request that everybody dismounts at the outer school gates (junction of Diswellstown and Carpenterstown Road). No one is permitted to cycle or scooter on school grounds. This request extends to parents and younger siblings also and is made in the interest of safety. Please also note that Heelys and Rollerblades are strictly prohibited on school grounds.

School Milk Scheme
The final term for the School Milk Scheme is now closed. No further requests can be accepted.

Policy Review
As you are probably aware, we have been piloting alternative eating arrangements during this week as part of policy review. More details will follow after the Easter recess.

In-Service Training Day
The next In-Service Training Day is on Friday 27 April. The final In-Service Training Day takes place on Tuesday 29 May. The school will therefore be closed on both of these days.

Reading Buddies Programme
The 10-week Reading Buddies Programme in first, second, third and fourth classes are coming to an end. The children enjoyed reading with their buddy, improved their reading skills and make new friends. Well done to the boys, girls and teachers involved.

4th Annual St. Patrick's National School Golf Classic
We are delighted to announce the fourth annual St. Patrick's National School Golf Classic, run by the Parents Association as part of the ongoing fund raising for our School

It will take place on Tuesday 29th May 2007 at Ashbourne Golf Club. The first tee is booked from 12.30pm. It will be a 4-ball scramble competition and the entry fee for each team (4 people per team) is €400 or €100 per person. The entry fee will include your green fee and golf grill. The prize giving will be held in the clubhouse later that evening.

We would like to encourage all our golfers to participate, submit a team from work, or sponsor a hole for the day.
