One of our families is having a difficult time at the moment. Due to this, there will be days when they will be unable to bring their child to school. If there is any parent who lives in or near Kilmartin Avenue and would be able and willing to give a lift to this child on the odd morning on which their parent can't bring them, please reply to this email to let us know and we will put you in touch with the family in question. The support of our community would be much appreciated at this difficult time.
We are learning cricket
As part of our Active School commitment, we were delighted to start cricket coaching today in all senior classes (3rd to 6th classes). Classes will continue over the coming months. Please encourage your child to play at home, perhaps teaching you how to play too!
We will have coaching in other sports this year too, in addition to the usual GAA football training and swimming lessons, both of which are for middle classes (1st to 4th classes).
Encourage your child to stay active and to find a sport or activity that interests them. Physical activity is a very important factor for a healthy life.
