Dear Parents/Guardians,
Book Fair
The Book Fair arrived to the school. This is an exciting week for the children as they get to browse and purchase books/stationery. Parents/Guardians are welcome to visit the Book Fair from Tuesday (10th) to Friday (13th) from 8.50am-9.15am and from 1.40pm-2pm. Due to ongoing industrial action the Book Fair won’t be open after 2.40pm. We thank Mrs Campbell for co-ordinating the Book Fair again this year.
Anti-Bullying Week
This week is Anti-Bullying week which invites us to explore how we can use our words, actions and influence to be a power of good. It’s a chance to speak up, stand together and continue to have a school where everyone feels safe, supported and respected. At our Board of Management meeting on October 1st 2026 we reviewed and ratified the Bí Cineálta Anti-Bullying policy which can be viewed on the school website. A hard copy is available on request from the office. The Child Friendly Bí Cineálta policy is also on the school website and at various locations around the school for the children to see. We will be having an assembly during the week to celebrate Anti-Bullying week.
‘Re-Turn’ Scheme
We thank everyone for sending in bottles/cans to the school on a weekly basis and we thank everyone who has returned bottles to shops so far this year. There is a rota in place for the return of the bags of bottles/cans (starting in 6th class). We recently purchased ten chess sets with the money and we will also use the money to purchase the Folens Christmas Annuals so that all children will get a ‘free’ Annual again this year.
Fairyhouse Cross Country Running
We have a number of girls and boys in 3rd-6th class in the Fairyhouse Cross Country long distance races on Friday November 20th. We will give details later this week on the travel arrangements.
Tara & District Credit Union Art Competition
A big thanks to all the children who sent in entries for the Tara & District Credit Union Art Competition a few weeks ago. The following pupils in the school won prizes and they will receive these prizes tomorrow. Well done to Daithí, Caoimhe, Grace, James O’R & Niall.
