Last Friday afternoon at Junior Infant collection time, three male youths gained access to our school. Thanks to the vigilance of school staff, they were stopped and escorted off the premises before they got as far as any children or classrooms. Gardai were notified.
We did get a fright and very much wish to avoid such a situation happening again and so we have amended collection procedures for Junior Infants. Junior Infants will now be collected from the school yard. We expect it to take a few days to settle into the new procedures and we thank you for your patience with us as this happens.
As always, please be vigilant regarding access to the school. If you see someone access the school who is acting in an odd way or does not seem to belong, either act on it (e.g. asking the person are they alright and watching them while they are at the school) or alert school staff. Do not allow anyone into the school when you have been given access by school staff. Child safety is the responsibility of every one of us and we work as a team.
