Take a look at the collection of resources we have built up to help us with the teaching of Belief Systems! These boxes are filled with items that have been generously donated by families in our school community, along with items that were purchased using the money raised by our Mad Hatter Day.
We look forward to continuing to build upon these resources in the years to come. But if you notice anything that's missing, that you could donate to us, please drop it in!!

Kidorama Academy will have a facility based in Citywest Educate Together National School from September 2016!

​This facility will include:

• Free ECCE year for eligible pre-school children
• Before- and after-school childcare for children attending primary school

Free ECCE year
As part of the ECCE programme, Kidorama Academy will have a pre-school class in our school. Class times will be 9am to 12pm each school day.
The pre-school class is open to all eligible children in the community, not just those with siblings at Citywest ETNS or those who intend to progress to our school.


Before- and after-school children for children attending primary school
Kidorama Academy will open at 7.30am each morning, when parents can leave their child(ren) to be cared for before school. Kidorama Academy staff will accompany the children to school at 8.30am. When the children finish school at 1.10pm (Junior and Senior Infants) or 2.10pm (1st to 4th classes) or finish an after-school class at 2pm (Junior and Senior Infants) or 3pm (1st to 4th classes), Kidorama Academy staff will collect the child(ren) from school or after-school class and take care of them until the parent finishes work and collects them, no later than 6.30pm. This care will include dinner. Rates are available from Kidorama.


This is a wonderful development for our school and for our community. Please see the flyer below for contact information for Evelyn, the manager at Kidorama who is coordinating enrolment of children to the new facility at Citywest ETNS. Feel free to share this great news with friends, family, neighbours and others!

Today, Maeve; an artist from the local community; came to our school to present us with two pieces she painted for us. Caitríona welcomed her and her two friends, Leona and Ciara, to the school and introduced them to some of the classes. 
We had a brief presentation with some Junior and Senior Infants, from Jenna's, Eldon's, Aoife's and Denise's Classes. Maeve made a small speech before unveiling her artworks.
Everybody agrees that these two paintings will make a wonderful addition to the gorgeous artwork already on display in the school. We look forward to seeing the paintings hanging in the school soon. Watch out for them!

Please see below a flyer and some information we have received from Kids Guide.

Our tours for parents got off to a great start this morning, as a group of parents visited Tallaght library for a tour of the facilities as well as a tour of their 1916 Exhibition. By all accounts, it was an interesting and enjoyable morning.
Watch this space for information about further parent trips!

After a lovely long break, we are looking forward to welcoming the children back to school this Monday. After you've taken Monday to catch your breath, why not take a nice relaxing trip to Tallaght Library on Tuesday morning?
This will be a chance to find out about all of the amenities available at the library, as well as have a free guided tour of their 1916 Exhibition.​

This trip is taking place THIS TUESDAY, so if you're interested, please fill in the form here immediately! Places are limited.

If you are not already a member of the library, you can sign up using the dropdown box on this website and then collect your card when you are at the library.
