Annual Art Exhibition
Thanks to everyone who made an effort to visit our art exhibition yesterday. Every boy displayed one sample of their art and craft that they produced during the year. There was also an impressive slide show on the large monitor in the hall with photos of the boys during their art classes and other samples of their artwork. The art will remain on the walls until the end of the month so there will still be an opportunity for parents to see your son’s work if you were unable to do so yesterday.
Thanks to Filip Tabaczek (Ms. Murphy’s fourth class) and Artemii Bumbu (Mr. Trainor’s fifth class) for entertaining our visitors with their very impressive classical piano skills during the exhibition.
We are very grateful to Ms. Maguire and all our SNAs for organising this amazing display of creativity and colour. We also appreciate all the members of staff who volunteered their free time to help Ms. Maguire curate this display after school. Please check out our Facebook page for some video footage of this special occasion.
HSE Junior Infant School Booster Programme
As the school year comes towards the end, the HSE are coming to the conclusion of our Junior Infant School Booster Immunisation Programme for the class of 2025/2026. Unfortunately the national uptake for the area falls considerably below the 95% target necessary to keep these infectious diseases out of our schools and our community. The HSE are running catch up clinics in Boot Road PCC in Clondalkin throughout the month of June. Please see the attached letter for more information.
