Wednesday May 29nd 2013Thank You to Parent Helpers
A big thank you to our 1st class parent volunteers who covered sets of books over the weekend. This could not have happened without the generous support of our parent ‘Helping Hands’ who prepared the packs. We look forward to using our new books in September.

Re-Registration Forms
Thank you to everyone who has already returned their Re-Registration Forms. If you have not already done so, we would appreciate if they could be returned to your child’s class teacher as soon as possible. Please note that each child should return an individual form.
Moving House?
If you are moving house and your child will not be returning to St Patrick’s in the new school year, it is vital that you make contact with the class teacher and the Main Office as soon as possible as it will be necessary for you to complete a Transfer Form. We have a number of children on waiting lists for all classes and we would like to be able to contact these parents as soon as possible.
