It’s that time of year again. Next week will be Active Schools Week. Active Schools Week is a week for our students, staff and parents to get up and get more active. The children will be asked to wear their tracksuits for the whole week (Monday 10th-14th June) and the only homework given next week will be to get active every evening.
We will be walking from the Coolquay Lodge on Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday morning ( Leaving at 8.50am ) and we would encourage as many students and parents to walk as possible. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning we will be having Wake Up and Shake Up activities on the yard and we would love if parents could join in with this ( Activities may include aerobics , dancing , simple stretches … nothing too strenuous !) Starting at nine and running for about 15 minutes. Aswell on Wednesday Enda Timoney from the GAA will be in doing handball with some of the classes and Nigel Kennedy will be doing some fun GAA activities !
There will be loads of fun active activities happening around the place during school and yard times. Please keep an eye on the school blog for any photos or updates from the week.
We had a very successful junior infant induction day on Thursday 16th May - well done to our secretary Susan , and Aisling , Sarah , Amy and Caroline , and also a big thank you to club GAA coach Nigel Kennedy for providing an extra PE session for our senior infants .
We have had a number of enquiries about after school childcare / pick ups for infants . Just to let you know that we have a local childcare centre called Tippytoes situated less than 1km from the school , the brochure is located in the 'policies and documents' section on this website .
Some brilliant photos of the school ( and an amazing video ) taken by a drone from the Glenveagh company - the visit was organised to inspire children in school to have a greater interest in the STEM subjects ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths )
Dear Parents/Guardians, a letter was sent home with the pupils recently on traffic management around the school grounds . If you require further information please contact us .
