So another school year comes to and end. It certainly has been a challenging one but we have got through it and next year should be more "normal". Thanks to everyone for all the support during the year.  We hope everyone has a fantastic, safe summer and have a well earned rest!!

Finally all the best to our departing 6th Class - Maeve, Ruth, Cillian, Conor, Daniel, Aoife, Gio, Cathal, Donnacha, Jamie, Scott, Tara, Aisling, Patricia and Niamh. All the best in the next chapter of your young lives.

​Today we said goodbye to Pauline of Next Step Playschool. Pauline has been a huge part of our school life for many years and she  touched all of our daily lives in some way with her eternal good humour and grace. Pauline, thank you for all the wonderful memories and for setting us up with skills and habits that make our transition to "big school" and onwards so much easier. Enjoy your well earned retirement and do drop in to say hello and have a cuppa any time you are passing.

From Saturday June 26th next we invite every child to register for the adventure at their local library and enjoy reading books during the summer holidays. All participants will be given a Summer Stars Reading Card to record and track their own progress and a library reward stamp will be added to their reading card after each book read. Children will be encouraged to continue reading throughout the programme and there will be rewards and incentives along the way. At the end of the adventure, all children who participate will be presented with their own Summer Stars certificate.
Children and families will also have access to fun reading activities on the Summer Stars website, www.summerstars.ie. The site has helpful tips for reading and recommended titles by age group for children to read. The books can then be borrowed from your local library service, and it’s all free.
Children can also browse, borrow, read and listen to the Summer Stars collection of e-books and e-audio books through the library’s BorrowBox app.

Our Library Service in Limerick County and City are in touch about their exciting Summer Stars programme - a great fun way to complement your reading.
